¹I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

¹Huaijiakin, noute sapa na omna utoh kikhoma om dingin kei Toupaa hentain ka honngen hi,

²With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

²Kingaihniamna leh migitna tengteng, thuaktheihna toh, itnaa kithuakzou zo chiata,

³Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

³Lemnaa Khaa kipumkhatna vom chinten dingin.

⁴There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

⁴A Honsapna pen lametna mun khata sap na hih mahbang un pumpi khat leh Kha khat kia a om;

⁵One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

⁵Toupa khat, ginna khat, baptisma khat,

⁶One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

⁶Bangkim Pathian leh Pa khat kia a oma; amah tuh bangkim tungah a oma, bangkim a mu suaka, bangkim sungah a om hi.

⁷But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

⁷Himahleh, Kris thilpiak tehna bang jelin hehpihna tuh i kiang chiat ah piak a om hi.

⁸Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

⁸Huaijiakin ahi, Tung lama a kahtouh laiin matte tampi a pia, mihingte kiangah leng thilpiakte a pia, a chihna.

⁹(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

⁹Huchiin, A kah tou, chih tuh, lei mun nuainung pente banga a hongsuk masak phot keileh, bangchi a hita ding leh?

¹⁰He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

¹⁰Hongsukpen tuh, thil tengteng a hihdim theihna dingin, van tengteng tung peka kah toupa mah ahi.

¹¹And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

¹¹Huan, khenkhatte sawltak hi dingin, khenkhatte jawlnei hi dingin, khhenkhatte Tanchin Hoih gen dingin, khenkhatte pastor hi dingin, khenkhatte thuhilh dingin a pia hi:

¹²For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

¹²Huai tuh misiangthoute thopna ding, nasepna sepna ding, Kris pumpi lam touhna dingin:

¹³Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

¹³Huai tuh ginna leh Pathian Ta theihna lama thukituaka, pichinga, Kris tangchinna latdan banga i vek ua i hongom masiaha ding ahi.

¹⁴That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

¹⁴Huchi-a mihingte diklouhna zekhemna banga lepchiah pila khem tawmtawma oma thuhilhna huih chitenga langkhat langkhata sep leh mut lengleng, naupang i hih nawn louhna dingun.

¹⁵But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

¹⁵Itnaa thutak gena, bangkima Amah, lupen, Kris ngeia i khanlet jawk ding uh ahi.

¹⁶From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

¹⁶Amah akipan pumpi tengteng, kizopna chiteng sep jiaka, lemtaka suktuah leh kizomkhawma, hiang chihin sep dingdan bangtaka a sep chiangin pumpi a khanga itna ah amah leh amah akilam tou hi.

¹⁷This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

¹⁷Tuin hiai ka genin Toupa ah kontheisak ahi, Jentelte a lungsim ginatlouhna uh pu-a a om bangun, na om nawn mahmah ding uh ahi kei;

¹⁸Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

¹⁸Amau tuh a lungtang uh tak jiaka theihtheihlouhna jiakin Pathian hinna theihtheihna a pan posiahin a om uhi;

¹⁹Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

¹⁹A khenggawpta ua, sianglou chiteng hihna lama huaihamin jautatna ah a kipumpiak uhi.

²⁰But ye have not so learned Christ;

²⁰Nou jaw huchibangin kris thu na zil kei uhi!

²¹If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

²¹A thu jaa amaha thuhilhna om khin na hih peuhmah uleh, jesua thutak a om bangin.

²²That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

²²Na pianken lui uh, na nidanglai hindan uh segawpsa suahkhia unla,

²³And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

²³Na lungsim Kha uah a thakin hongom unla,

²⁴And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

²⁴Pianken thak, diktatna leh sianthounaa Pathian batpiha siampen silh un.

²⁵Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

²⁵Huchiin, juaugen tawpsanin, noumau inveng kiangah thudiktak gen chiat un; kihiang tuah chiat na hi ngal ua.

²⁶Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

²⁶Heh unla, khelh jaw khial kei un; na hehna uh niin tum pih kei hen.

²⁷Neither give place to the devil.

²⁷Diabol leng mun awn sam kei un.

²⁸Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

²⁸Gutain gu nawnta kei hen; tasam kianga piak ding a neih theihna dingin, a khuta thil hoih semin gim jaw hen.

²⁹Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

²⁹Thu sia peuhmah na kam ua kipanin pawt kei hen; a khawk dan bang jela bawl hoih dingin thu hoih peuhmah pawt jaw hen, a ngaikhete adinga hehpihna a hohnghih theihna dingin.

³⁰And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

³⁰Huan, Pathian Kha Siangthou tuh hihlungkham kei un, tatna nia dingin amahah chiamteh na hi uhi.

³¹Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

³¹Khatna bang, thangpaihna bang, hehna bang, hanna bang, gensiatna tengteng tawpsanin omta hen, gitlouhna tengteng toh.Huan, kihehpih chiata lainatna neiin om unla, Pathianin Krisa a honngaihdam bangin, noumau leng kingaidam tuah chiat un.

³²And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

³²Huan, kihehpih chiata lainatna neiin om unla, Pathianin Krisa a honngaihdam bangin, noumau leng kingaidam tuah chiat un.
