¹Let as many as are servants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine be not blasphemed.

¹Parthian min leh a thuhilhna thu gensiata om louhna ding in sikha hakkol bat peuhnaten amau pute bangkima hihthupi tuak in sim uhen.

²And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but let them serve them the rather, because they that partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. These things teach and exhort.

²Huan gingta mi pu a neiten unau ahih ziakun, ngaineu kei uhen, a hihhangin, phattuamna mute leh deih takte a hih ziak un a na uh sepsak semsem uhen. Huai thute hilh inla, hasuan in.

³If any man teacheth a different doctrine, and consenteth not to sound words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

³Mi kuapeuh in thuhilhna dang ahilha, thutak (I Toupa Jesu Kris thu) leh, Pathian limsak lam thuhilhna hoih asak kei leh,

⁴he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but doting about questionings and disputes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

⁴amah a kisathei ahi, bangmah theilou ahi, theihnaksang in kisel leh thukalh lamah a hai zawta a, huchibang a kipanin, ennate, kilainate, gensiatnate,

⁵wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain.

⁵hoihlou lama ginnate, selhat nate asuak nak hi; huchibang selhat mite tuh lungsimse nei leh thutak neilou mi, Pathian limsak pen punna khattou sa mi ahi uh.

⁶But godliness with contentment is great gain:

⁶Lungkimna toh kithuah Pathian limsakna tuh punna thupi tak ahi.

⁷for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out;

⁷Khovel ah bangmah I lut pih keia, bangmah I pawtpih thei sam kei ding hi.

⁸but having food and covering we shall be therewith content.

⁸Himahleh, nekding leh silh ding nei in, huaikhawng ah I lungkim ding uh.

⁹But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.

⁹Ahihhangin, hauhsak tumte tuh, khemna ah te, thang ah te, haihuai leh hihsethei duhgawlna tampi bang ah a puklut nak uhi, huaiten tuh siatna leh manthatna ah mite a hih tumnak hi.

¹⁰For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

¹⁰Dangka sum deihtak zaw gilou chiteng bul ahi ngala; huaituh khenkhatten a eng ua, ginna a pai mangsan ua, amau leh amau lungkhamna tampiin a kisunlet tektok uhi.

¹¹But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

¹¹Himaleh, nang Pathian mipa aw, huai thilte taisan inla, diktatna bang, Pathian limsakna bang, ginna bang, itna bang, thuaktheihna bang, kingaihniamna bang delh zel in.

¹²Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

¹²Ginna kidouna hoih sual inla, khantawn hinna tuh len chinten in; huai tang dinga sap na hi hi; theihpih tamtakte mitmuhin gupna hoih tuh na gumta hi.

¹³I charge thee in the sight of God, who giveth life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good confession;

¹³Pathian, thilbangkim hihhingpa leh Khris Jesu, Pontia Pilat maa gupna hoih gumpa mitmuhin thu ka honpia hi;

¹⁴that thou keep the commandment, without spot, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

¹⁴Toupa Jesu Kris hong kilat nawn ma siah huai thupiak tuh siangthou tak leh gensiatbeia kem dingin.

¹⁵which in its own times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

¹⁵Huai kilakna tuh amah hun takah phattuak Thuneipa tak kia, kumpipate Kumpipa, toupate Toupan a lak ding ahi;

¹⁶who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honor and power eternal. Amen.

¹⁶Amah kia in sihtheihlouhna a nei a, vak naih theih vuallouhna ah a om a, amah tuh kuamah in a mu ngeikei ua, muh leng amu thei samkei uhi; amah kiangah khantawnin thupina leh thilhihtheihna om hen. Amen.

¹⁷Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

¹⁷Hiai khovel a mihaute khawng kisathei lou ding leh sum muanhuailou a muanna nga loua, thil tengteng kipahna ding a tampia honpepa Pathian tunga nga zaw ding in hilh in.

¹⁸that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

¹⁸Thil hoih a hih ding uh, thil hoih hiha a hauh ding uh, thilphala a siam ding uh ahi;

¹⁹laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is [life] indeed.

¹⁹huchia amaua dinga tunung adinga suangphum hoih phuma hinna, huai hinna hi taktak tuh a let kip theihna ding un.

²⁰O Timothy, guard that which is committed unto [thee], turning away from the profane babblings and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;

²⁰Timothi aw, na kianga kepsaka om kem hoih in; Pathian zahlouhna thu gen mawkmawk leh kikalhna, dikloupia pilna kichi, nungngatsan in:huai tuh mi khenkhatin nei ki chiin ginna lam ah a paikhialta uhi. Hehpihna na kiangah om hen. Amen.

²¹which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.

²¹huai tuh mi khenkhatin nei ki chiin ginna lam ah a paikhialta uhi. Hehpihna na kiangah om hen. Amen.
