¹What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?

¹Ahihleh, Juda min hamphattuamna bang ahia a neih tuan? Zeksum leng bang ahi a phattuamna?

²Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

²Koi lam peuhah a phattuam hi; Pathian thute a kiang ua kep saka a om jiak ahi pen.

³For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

³Mi khenkhatten ginna neikei mahle uh, banga hi tuana eita? A gintak louhna un Pathian muanhuaidan bangmah louin a bawl tuan ahia?

⁴God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

⁴Bawl tuan lou hial; Pathian tuh mi diktak hita hen, mi chih tuh juauthei hi uheh; Nang na thu genin siam na tan theia, vaihawm na omin leng na zoh theihna dingin, chih gelh bangin.

⁵But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)

⁵Himahleh, i diktatlouhnain Pathian diktatna a hihlat hoih sem leh, bang i gen dia? Pathianin mi a gawtin, mi diktat lou ahi hia? (Mihing dan bangin ka gen a hi).

⁶God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

⁶Hilouhial; huchibang hih leh, Pathianin khovel vai bangchin a hawm dia?

⁷For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

⁷Himahleh ka juauthu gen jiaka Pathian thu dikdan amah hihthupi khophiala a lat sem ngal leh, bangachia kei leng mi khial banga siamlouh tan saka om lai ka hia?

⁸And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

⁸Bang a chi a (hon hek ua, mi khenkhatin gen louhpi hon gen sak bang un). Thil hoih a hongtun theihna dingin thil gilou i hih ding uh, chia i gen jawk louh? Huchibang miten huchibang tuh siamlouh a tan dik him uhi.

⁹What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

⁹Ahihleh amau sangin i hoih zo khol ua hia? Hoihzo lou hial; Judate leh Grikte khelhna sikhaa om vekin tumalamin leng i ngohta vele;

¹⁰As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

¹⁰Kuamah mi diktat himhim om kei uh, khat lel leng om het kei uh;

¹¹There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

¹¹Kuamah theisiam himhim om kei uh, kuamah Pathian zong himhim om kei uh.

¹²They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

¹²A hilou lamah a pial khinta ua, bangmaha phatuam lou in a naom khin vek ua, kuamah thil hoih hih himhim a om kei uh, khat lel leng a om kei uh.

¹³Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

¹³A gawl uh han kihong ahia; a lei un khemna thu a gen ua. A kam sung uah gul gu a om hi.

¹⁴Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

¹⁴A kam uh hamse lohna leh thu khain a dima.

¹⁵Their feet are swift to shed blood:

¹⁵A khe uh sisan suah dingin a kin suan uhi;

¹⁶Destruction and misery are in their ways:

¹⁶A lampi uah manthatna leh gimthuakna a om a;

¹⁷And the way of peace have they not known:

¹⁷Khamuanna lampi leng a theikei uhi.

¹⁸There is no fear of God before their eyes.

¹⁸A mit uah Pathian laudansiamna himhim a om kei, chih gelh bangin.

¹⁹Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

¹⁹Danin bangpeuh a gen, dan thuthua omte kiangah a gen ahi chi hi thei ngala; kam chiteng a chih theihna dingin leh khovela mi tengteng Pathian vaihawma a om theihna ding un.

²⁰Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

²⁰Huchiin, dan thil hih jiakin mi kuamah a mitmuhin siamtangin a om kei ding uh; dan jiakin khelhna theih kimna a hongom ahi ngala.

²¹But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

²¹Ahihhangin, tun bel dan leh jawlneite natheihsak Pathian dikna tuh dan tellou-a hihlatin a omta;

²²Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

²²huai tuh Jesu Kris gintak jiaka, a gingtate tengteng adia Pathian diktatna ahi. Lamdanna himhim a om kei:

²³For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

²³mi tengtengin thil a hihkhelh ua, Pathian thupina a tan zohlouh nungun,

²⁴Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

²⁴Kris Jesu-a om tatna jiakin, a hehpihnaa a thawna siamtansakin a om uh;

²⁵Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

²⁵amah tuh a sisan jiaka thuphatawina hiin, ginnaa muh dingin Pathianin a luikheta. Hiai tuh Pathian dikna latsakna ding ahi, aman a dohtheihna jiaka nidanglai khelhnate a paikan tak jiakin;

²⁶To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

²⁶huan, amah ngei tuh a dika, chih leh Jesu-a ginna nei mi tuh siam a tangsak chih chetna dingin.

²⁷Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

²⁷Na otna uh koia om ahia leh? Posiahin a omta. Bang danin ahialeh? Thil hihna danin hia? Hi lou hial, ginna danin ahi jaw.

²⁸Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

²⁸Huchiin, dan thilhih hi louin, ginnaa min siam tangin i sep uhi.

²⁹Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

²⁹Pathian, Judate Pathian ka hia? Jentelte Pathian leng ahi sam ka hia? Hi e, Jentelte-a leng ahi.

³⁰Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

³⁰Pathian khat kia a hih jiakin; huan, aman zeksumte a ginna jiakun, huan, zeksumlouhte a ginna jiakun siam a tangsak ding.Huchi a hih leh dan tuh bangmah louin i bawl ua hia? Bawl lou hial. Dan tuh i hihkip jaw uhi.

³¹Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

³¹Huchi a hih leh dan tuh bangmah louin i bawl ua hia? Bawl lou hial. Dan tuh i hihkip jaw uhi.
