¹Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not:

¹Huchi a hih jiakin hehpihna ka muh bang jel un hiai nasepna ka neih jiak un ka lungke kei uhi;

²but we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

²Thil zumhuai kiselte tuh ka pampaih zota ua, zekhemna thu ka zang kei ua, Pathian thu tuh mi khemna dingin ka zang kei ua, thutak theisakin Pathian mitmuhin mi chih sia leh pha theihna mit ka tungsak jaw uhi.

³And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that perish:

³Himahleh, ka Tanchin Hoih uh khuha a om leh, mangthang lelte ah ahi khuha a om;

⁴in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn [upon them].

⁴Kris, Pathian batpih, a thupidan Tanchin Hoih vakin amau a salh vak theih louhna dingin, huaite ah hiai khovel Pathianin gingta loute lungsim a sukmial sakta hi.

⁵For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

⁵Koumau thu ka gen ngal kei ua, Kris Jesu Toupa ka gen jaw uhi, koute leng Jesu jiakin sikha ka hih uh leng ka gen jel uhi.

⁶Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁶Jesu Kris melah Pathian thupidan theihna vak honpe dingin, miala kipan vak a vak khe ding, chi pa Pathianin I lungtangte sal vakta ngala.

⁷But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves;

⁷Himahleh, thilhihtheihna thupina koutea hi loua, Pathiana a hih theih jawkna dingin, huai gou tuh leibel peuh ah ka kem uhi.

⁸[we are] pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;

⁸Khat lam khat lama nehden in ka om ua, himahleh, ningkitelin ka om tuan kei uh; mangbangin ka om ua, himahleh ka lungke tuan kei uh;

⁹pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed;

⁹Sawiin ka om ua, himahleh, taisanin ka om tuan kei uh; khet pukin ka om ua, himahleh, hihmangin ka om tuan kei uh.

¹⁰always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body.

¹⁰Ka pumpi uah chiklai peuhin leng Jesu sihna ka pu jel ua, Jesu hinna leng ka pumpi ua a lat theihna ding-in.

¹¹For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

¹¹Koute hingdama om nalaite Jesu jiaka si dinga matsakin ka om gige ua Jesu hinna leng kasa sithei ua a lat theihna dingin.

¹²So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

¹²Huchiin, koute ah sihnain a sem gige a, nou ah bel hinnain a sem gige ahi.

¹³But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, and therefore did I speak; we also believe, and therefore also we speak;

¹³Ahihhangin, Ka ginga, huaijiakin thu ka gen ahi, chih gelhp ginna lungsim ngei pui, kou leng ka ging ua, huaijiakin thu leng ka gen uhi;

¹⁴knowing that he that raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also with Jesus, and shall present us with you.

¹⁴Toupa Jesu kaithoupan koute leng Jesu ah hon kaithou sam dinga, noumau toh amah omna munah honding sak ding chih theiin.

¹⁵For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound unto the glory of God.

¹⁵Bangkim noumau hoihna ding ahi ngala, hehpihna mi tam jaw jiaka hihkhana oma, Pathian thupina dinga kipahthugenna nakpi taka a khansak theihna dingin.

¹⁶Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

¹⁶Huai thujiakin ka bah kei uhi; i po lam mihing jaw jawngkhal hiaihiai mahleh, i sunglam mihing pen ni tanga bawlthak jelin a om jaw ahi.

¹⁷For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;

¹⁷Ka gimthuakna neukha uh, tu mitphiatkal sung kia om dingin, thupina thupitak khawntawna dingin a honbawl sak hulhul ahi;Thil muh theihte en louin, thil muhtheihlouhte ka en zo ngal ua; thil muhtheihte jaw sawtlou kal ading ahi a, thilmuhtheihlouhte bel khantawn ading ahi ngala.

¹⁸while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

¹⁸Thil muh theihte en louin, thil muhtheihlouhte ka en zo ngal ua; thil muhtheihte jaw sawtlou kal ading ahi a, thilmuhtheihlouhte bel khantawn ading ahi ngala.
