¹Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

¹Mi chih a tung ua vaihawmte thuthuin om heh. Pathian thu louin kuamah vaihawm a om ngal kei ua; vaihawmmi-a omte Pathian seh ahi uh.

²Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

²Huaijiakin, kuapeuh vaihawmmi sel tuh Pathian seh kalh ahi; a selten amau tungah vaihawmna a mu ding uhi.

³For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

³Vaihawmmite thil hoih hihte dingin kihtakhuai ahi kei uhi; thil hoihlou hihte dingin bel kihtakhuai ahi uhi. Ahihleh, vaihawmmi kihtaloua om na ut uhia? Thil hoih hih le uchin a phat na loh ding uh;

⁴For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

⁴Amah tuh na hoihna dingua Pathian nasemmi ahi ngala. Himahleh, kihta un. temsau lah a mawk tawi ngal keia; amah Pathian nasemmi, thil hihkhial tunga heha phulami ahi ngal a.

⁵Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

⁵Huaijiakin, Pathian hehna kihtakna jiak kia hilouin, na sia leh pha theihna jiakun leng vaihawmmi thuthuin na om ding him uh ahi.

⁶For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

⁶Hiai jiakin siah leng na liau jel ve ua leh; huchibang thil ngei hih teitei dingin Pathian nasemmite ahi ngal ua.

⁷Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

⁷Mi tengteng kiangah piak ding peuhmah pia un; leiman piakna dingpa kiangah leiman pia unla, siah liauna dingpa kiangah siah liau unla; kihtak dingpa leng kihta unla; zahtak dingpa leng zahtak un.

⁸Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

⁸Kiittuahna loungal, kuamah bangmah ba kei un; amau mihinpih itpan dan a jui kimta ngal a.

⁹For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

⁹Hiaite, Angkawm ken, Tualthat ken, Gu ken, Eng ken chih leh, thupiak dang om nalai himhimte, Nangmah na kiit bangin na invengte na it ding hi, chihin a khaikhawm vek ngala.

¹⁰Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

¹⁰Itna in innvengte a hihse ngeikei a; huaijiakin itna jaw dan zuih kimna ahi.

¹¹And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

¹¹Huailou –in, tu bang hun ahia chih na thei ua, ihmu khanloh a hun mahmahta chih na thei uh. Tun jaw i gintak tung lai sangin i hotdamna a nai zota ngala;

¹²The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

¹²Jan a bei dekdektaa, khua a vak dekta hi; huaijiakin miala thil hihte paiin vak thuamin i kithuam ding uh.

¹³Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

¹³Sun-a om bangin kilawm takin i om ding uh, zu dawn buai leh zu khama om louin, huk leh kingaihhata om louin, kilai leh kihajaa om louin.Toupa Jesu Krisin kithuam jaw inla, na sa duhgawlna uh pichin dingin bangmah kibawl kei un.

¹⁴But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

¹⁴Toupa Jesu Krisin kithuam jaw inla, na sa duhgawlna uh pichin dingin bangmah kibawl kei un.
