¹I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling wherewith ye were called,

¹Huaijiakin, noute sapa na omna utoh kikhoma om dingin kei Toupaa hentain ka honngen hi,

²with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

²Kingaihniamna leh migitna tengteng, thuaktheihna toh, itnaa kithuakzou zo chiata,

³giving diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

³Lemnaa Khaa kipumkhatna vom chinten dingin.

⁴[There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;

⁴A Honsapna pen lametna mun khata sap na hih mahbang un pumpi khat leh Kha khat kia a om;

⁵one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

⁵Toupa khat, ginna khat, baptisma khat,

⁶one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.

⁶Bangkim Pathian leh Pa khat kia a oma; amah tuh bangkim tungah a oma, bangkim a mu suaka, bangkim sungah a om hi.

⁷But unto each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

⁷Himahleh, Kris thilpiak tehna bang jelin hehpihna tuh i kiang chiat ah piak a om hi.

⁸Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men.

⁸Huaijiakin ahi, Tung lama a kahtouh laiin matte tampi a pia, mihingte kiangah leng thilpiakte a pia, a chihna.

⁹(Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?

⁹Huchiin, A kah tou, chih tuh, lei mun nuainung pente banga a hongsuk masak phot keileh, bangchi a hita ding leh?

¹⁰He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)

¹⁰Hongsukpen tuh, thil tengteng a hihdim theihna dingin, van tengteng tung peka kah toupa mah ahi.

¹¹And he gave some [to be] apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

¹¹Huan, khenkhatte sawltak hi dingin, khenkhatte jawlnei hi dingin, khhenkhatte Tanchin Hoih gen dingin, khenkhatte pastor hi dingin, khenkhatte thuhilh dingin a pia hi:

¹²for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:

¹²Huai tuh misiangthoute thopna ding, nasepna sepna ding, Kris pumpi lam touhna dingin:

¹³till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

¹³Huai tuh ginna leh Pathian Ta theihna lama thukituaka, pichinga, Kris tangchinna latdan banga i vek ua i hongom masiaha ding ahi.

¹⁴that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;

¹⁴Huchi-a mihingte diklouhna zekhemna banga lepchiah pila khem tawmtawma oma thuhilhna huih chitenga langkhat langkhata sep leh mut lengleng, naupang i hih nawn louhna dingun.

¹⁵but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, [even] Christ;

¹⁵Itnaa thutak gena, bangkima Amah, lupen, Kris ngeia i khanlet jawk ding uh ahi.

¹⁶from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through that which every joint supplieth, according to the working in [due] measure of each several part, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love.

¹⁶Amah akipan pumpi tengteng, kizopna chiteng sep jiaka, lemtaka suktuah leh kizomkhawma, hiang chihin sep dingdan bangtaka a sep chiangin pumpi a khanga itna ah amah leh amah akilam tou hi.

¹⁷This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,

¹⁷Tuin hiai ka genin Toupa ah kontheisak ahi, Jentelte a lungsim ginatlouhna uh pu-a a om bangun, na om nawn mahmah ding uh ahi kei;

¹⁸being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart;

¹⁸Amau tuh a lungtang uh tak jiaka theihtheihlouhna jiakin Pathian hinna theihtheihna a pan posiahin a om uhi;

¹⁹who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

¹⁹A khenggawpta ua, sianglou chiteng hihna lama huaihamin jautatna ah a kipumpiak uhi.

²⁰But ye did not so learn Christ;

²⁰Nou jaw huchibangin kris thu na zil kei uhi!

²¹if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:

²¹A thu jaa amaha thuhilhna om khin na hih peuhmah uleh, jesua thutak a om bangin.

²²that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, that waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit;

²²Na pianken lui uh, na nidanglai hindan uh segawpsa suahkhia unla,

²³and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

²³Na lungsim Kha uah a thakin hongom unla,

²⁴and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

²⁴Pianken thak, diktatna leh sianthounaa Pathian batpiha siampen silh un.

²⁵Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

²⁵Huchiin, juaugen tawpsanin, noumau inveng kiangah thudiktak gen chiat un; kihiang tuah chiat na hi ngal ua.

²⁶Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

²⁶Heh unla, khelh jaw khial kei un; na hehna uh niin tum pih kei hen.

²⁷neither give place to the devil.

²⁷Diabol leng mun awn sam kei un.

²⁸Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need.

²⁸Gutain gu nawnta kei hen; tasam kianga piak ding a neih theihna dingin, a khuta thil hoih semin gim jaw hen.

²⁹Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.

²⁹Thu sia peuhmah na kam ua kipanin pawt kei hen; a khawk dan bang jela bawl hoih dingin thu hoih peuhmah pawt jaw hen, a ngaikhete adinga hehpihna a hohnghih theihna dingin.

³⁰And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.

³⁰Huan, Pathian Kha Siangthou tuh hihlungkham kei un, tatna nia dingin amahah chiamteh na hi uhi.

³¹Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:

³¹Khatna bang, thangpaihna bang, hehna bang, hanna bang, gensiatna tengteng tawpsanin omta hen, gitlouhna tengteng toh.Huan, kihehpih chiata lainatna neiin om unla, Pathianin Krisa a honngaihdam bangin, noumau leng kingaidam tuah chiat un.

³²and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.

³²Huan, kihehpih chiata lainatna neiin om unla, Pathianin Krisa a honngaihdam bangin, noumau leng kingaidam tuah chiat un.
