¹I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men;

¹Huchiin, a masapen in, thilnget thumnate, thumna himhimte, thumsaknate, kipahthu genna te, mi tengteng ading a bawl sak dingin ka hon hasuan hi;

²for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.

²Kumpipate leh thuneite tengteng ading inleng; Pathian limsak leh zahtakhuai taka kituaka khamuang a I om theihna dingin.

³This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

³Huaituh I Hondampa Pathian theih in a hoih in, a kipahhuai hi;

⁴who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.

⁴Aman tuh mi tengteng hotdama om ding leh thutak thei dingin a deih hi.

⁵For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, [himself] man, Christ Jesus,

⁵Pathian khat kia a om, Pathian leh mihing kikal ah Palai khat kia a om nawn,

⁶who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony [to be borne] in its own times;

⁶Amah tuh mihing ahi, Khris Jesu, mi tengteng tatna dia kipiapen; huai heihpihna tuh a huntaka piak ahi.

⁷whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

⁷Hiai hihding a tangkoupihpa ding leh sawltaka seh ka hi (thu taktak ka gen, ka juai kei); ginna leh thutak a Jentelte hilhpa a seh ka hi.

⁸I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.

⁸Huchiin, pasalten mun chiha khut siangthou jakin, thangpailou leh kisellouin thum le uh ka deih ahi.

⁹In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment;

⁹Tua bangmah in numeite zumthei leh omdan siamin puansilh kilawm lelin kivan le uh; sam phek hiam, dangkaeng hiam, tuikepsuang hiam, puan mantam taktak khawng a kivan louin:

¹⁰but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.

¹⁰Ahihhangin numei Pathian limsak kichite a kihun lelin thil hih hoihin kivan le uh, ka deih hi.

¹¹Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

¹¹Numei in thumang hiathiatin om dinden in zil hen.

¹²But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.

¹²Ahihhangin, numeiin thu a hilh jaw ka phal kei, pasal tunga thuneih leng ka phal sam kei, dai dindenin om jaw hen.

¹³For Adam was first formed, then Eve;

¹³Adam tuh siam masak ahi a, huai nungin Evi siam ahi ngala.

¹⁴and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:

¹⁴Huan, Adam tuh khemin a om keia, numei bel khemin a om a, tatlekna ah a pukta hi.Himahleh, omdan siamna toh ginna leh itna leh siangthounaa a om gige leh, numei tuh nau a pianna jiakin hotdamin a om ding hi.

¹⁵but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.

¹⁵Himahleh, omdan siamna toh ginna leh itna leh siangthounaa a om gige leh, numei tuh nau a pianna jiakin hotdamin a om ding hi.
