¹Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

¹Huchi a hih jiakin hehpihna ka muh bang jel un hiai nasepna ka neih jiak un ka lungke kei uhi;

²But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

²Thil zumhuai kiselte tuh ka pampaih zota ua, zekhemna thu ka zang kei ua, Pathian thu tuh mi khemna dingin ka zang kei ua, thutak theisakin Pathian mitmuhin mi chih sia leh pha theihna mit ka tungsak jaw uhi.

³But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

³Himahleh, ka Tanchin Hoih uh khuha a om leh, mangthang lelte ah ahi khuha a om;

⁴In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

⁴Kris, Pathian batpih, a thupidan Tanchin Hoih vakin amau a salh vak theih louhna dingin, huaite ah hiai khovel Pathianin gingta loute lungsim a sukmial sakta hi.

⁵For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

⁵Koumau thu ka gen ngal kei ua, Kris Jesu Toupa ka gen jaw uhi, koute leng Jesu jiakin sikha ka hih uh leng ka gen jel uhi.

⁶For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁶Jesu Kris melah Pathian thupidan theihna vak honpe dingin, miala kipan vak a vak khe ding, chi pa Pathianin I lungtangte sal vakta ngala.

⁷But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

⁷Himahleh, thilhihtheihna thupina koutea hi loua, Pathiana a hih theih jawkna dingin, huai gou tuh leibel peuh ah ka kem uhi.

⁸We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

⁸Khat lam khat lama nehden in ka om ua, himahleh, ningkitelin ka om tuan kei uh; mangbangin ka om ua, himahleh ka lungke tuan kei uh;

⁹Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

⁹Sawiin ka om ua, himahleh, taisanin ka om tuan kei uh; khet pukin ka om ua, himahleh, hihmangin ka om tuan kei uh.

¹⁰Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

¹⁰Ka pumpi uah chiklai peuhin leng Jesu sihna ka pu jel ua, Jesu hinna leng ka pumpi ua a lat theihna ding-in.

¹¹For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

¹¹Koute hingdama om nalaite Jesu jiaka si dinga matsakin ka om gige ua Jesu hinna leng kasa sithei ua a lat theihna dingin.

¹²So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

¹²Huchiin, koute ah sihnain a sem gige a, nou ah bel hinnain a sem gige ahi.

¹³We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

¹³Ahihhangin, Ka ginga, huaijiakin thu ka gen ahi, chih gelhp ginna lungsim ngei pui, kou leng ka ging ua, huaijiakin thu leng ka gen uhi;

¹⁴Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

¹⁴Toupa Jesu kaithoupan koute leng Jesu ah hon kaithou sam dinga, noumau toh amah omna munah honding sak ding chih theiin.

¹⁵For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

¹⁵Bangkim noumau hoihna ding ahi ngala, hehpihna mi tam jaw jiaka hihkhana oma, Pathian thupina dinga kipahthugenna nakpi taka a khansak theihna dingin.

¹⁶For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

¹⁶Huai thujiakin ka bah kei uhi; i po lam mihing jaw jawngkhal hiaihiai mahleh, i sunglam mihing pen ni tanga bawlthak jelin a om jaw ahi.

¹⁷For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

¹⁷Ka gimthuakna neukha uh, tu mitphiatkal sung kia om dingin, thupina thupitak khawntawna dingin a honbawl sak hulhul ahi;Thil muh theihte en louin, thil muhtheihlouhte ka en zo ngal ua; thil muhtheihte jaw sawtlou kal ading ahi a, thilmuhtheihlouhte bel khantawn ading ahi ngala.

¹⁸While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

¹⁸Thil muh theihte en louin, thil muhtheihlouhte ka en zo ngal ua; thil muhtheihte jaw sawtlou kal ading ahi a, thilmuhtheihlouhte bel khantawn ading ahi ngala.
