The wicked enemy is so inveterately opposed to the Divine majesty that he would gladly, if it were possible, overturn the throne of God. As he utterly despairs of accomplishing that object, he throws out all his venom against the elect, employs every expedient, and exhausts all his devices to enslave those whom the power of God has torn from his grasp. He assaulted the first Adam in Paradise. He made an attempt on the second Adam in the wilderness, but his efforts were foiled. Disappointed in that expectation, he bends all his attack on those whom Christ has claimed to be his own.

12:1 ¶ Koia ahau ka inoi nei ki a koutou, e oku teina, kia whakaaroa nga mahi a te Atua, kia tapaea atu o koutou tinana hei whakahere ora, tapu, e manakohia ana e te Atua, he mahi na to koutou hinengaro.

12:2 Kaua hoki to koutou ahua e rite ki to tenei ao: engari kia puta ke, ara kia whakahoutia o koutou hinengaro, kia whakamatautauria ai e koutou ta te Atua e pai ai, te mea e pai ana, e manakohia ana, e tino rite ana.

12:3 Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki nga tangata katoa i roto i a koutou, he mea na te aroha noa i homai nei ki ahau, Kaua e hira ake te whakaaro o tetahi ki a ia ano i te mea i tika kia whakaaroa e ia; engari kia ata whakaaro, kia rite ki te wahi o te wha kapono i tuwhaina e te Atua ki tena, ki tena.

12:4 E rite ana hoki ki o tatou wahi ka maha nei i te tinana kotahi, kihai ia i kotahi te mahi ma aua wahi katoa:

12:5 Waihoki ko tatou tokomaha nei, he tinana kotahi i roto i a te Karaiti, ko tatou takitahi ia, he wahi tetahi no tetahi.

12:6 Na ka rere ke nei nga mea i homai ki a tatou, he mea e rite ana ki te aroha noa i homai ki a tatou, ki te mea he mahi poropiti, me poropiti, kia rite ano ki te rahi o to tatou whakapono;

12:7 He mahi minita, kia u tatou ki ta tatou mahi minita; ko te kaiwhakaako, kia u ki tana mahi whakaako;

12:8 Ko te kaiwhakahauhau, kia u ki tana whakahauhau; ko te kaihoatu, kia mahorahora te ngakau; ko te kaiwhakahaere kia uaua ki tana mahi, a ko te kaiatawhai kia ngahau te ahua.

12:9 Ko te aroha, hei te mea tinihangakore. Kia whakarihariha ki te kino; kia u ki te pai.

12:10 Ka aroha ki nga teina, kia tino pono te aroha tetahi ki tetahi; ka whakahonore, kia nui ta tetahi i tetahi.

12:11 Kia uaua, kaua e mangere; kia toko tonu ake te wairua; me te mahi ano ki te Ariki;

12:12 Kia hari i runga i te tumanako; kia manawanui ki te whakapawera; kia u ki te inoi;

12:13 Whakawhiwhia te hunga tapu ina rawakore; kia mau ki te atawhai manuhiri.

12:14 Manaakitia te hunga e tukino ana i a koutou: manaakitia, kaua e kanga.

12:15 Kia hari tahi me te hunga hari, kia tangi tahi me te hunga tangi.

12:16 Kia kotahi te whakaaro o koutou tetahi ki tetahi. Kaua e whakakake te whakaaro, engari me whakaiti ki nga mea papaku. Kei mea ake koutou he mohio koutou.

12:17 Kaua e utua ta tetahi kino ki te kino. Whakaaroa ko nga mea e pai ana ki mua i te aroaro o nga tangata katoa.

12:18 Ki te taea, whakapaua ta koutou kia mau te rongo ki nga tangata katoa.

12:19 Aua e rapu utu mo koutou, e oku hoa aroha, engari whakaatea atu i te riri: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Maku te rapu utu; maku te hoatu utu, e ai ta te Ariki.

12:20 Na, ki te matekai tou hoariri, whangainga; ki te matewai, whakainumia: ki te penei hoki tau mahi, ka purangatia e koe he waro kapura ki tona matenga.

12:21 Kei hinga koe i te kino, engari kia hinga te kino i tou pai.
