¹Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not irksome, but for you it is safe.

¹Huai louin, ka unaute aw, Toupa ah kipak un. A ngeingei gelh kei adingin a chimtakhuai keia, nou adingin a hoih jaw hi.

²Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the concision:

²Uite lakah kiveng un, na gilou semte lakah kiveng un, sa atgawp mite lak ah kiveng un.

³for we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh:

³Pathian khaa bia, Kris Jesu suang, zeksum diktak i hi ngal ua, huan pumpi ah suanding i neikei uhi.

⁴though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh: if any other man thinketh to have confidence in the flesh, I yet more:

⁴Pumpi lam chilehang kei mahmahin suanding ka nei sem moh kei ding; mi himhimin pumpia suanding neia a kitheihin tuh, ken ka nei sem:

⁵circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

⁵A ni giatnaa zeksum, Isreal chi, Benjamin nam, Hebru mi kholdiak, dan lam chi lehang, pharisai;

⁶as touching zeal, persecuting the church; as touching the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

⁶Phatuamngaihna lam chi lehang, saptuamte sawi; dan bu-a diktatna lam chi lehang, gensiatbei hi inga.

⁷Howbeit what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.

⁷A hihi hitaleh, thil kei adia punna peuhmah Kris jiakin mannain ka simta.

⁸Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ,

⁸Hi taktak hi, ka Toupa theihna manpha jiakin thil tengteng ka tanta hi. Huan, thil tengteng ninneng bang phetin ka sima Kris ka tan theihna dingin,

⁹and be found in him, not having a righteousness of mine own, [even] that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:

⁹Huan, Amaha ka om theihna dingin; dan thu-a kinga keimah diktatna hilou- a, Kris ginna jiaka om pen, ginnaa kinga Pathiana pan suak diktatna nei jawin;

¹⁰that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death;

¹⁰Huchi-a, Amah leh a thohnawnna thilhihtheihna ka theiha, a thuaknate tanpiha, a sihnaa Amah batna ka neih theihna dingin;

¹¹if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead.

¹¹Bangchihiam beka misi lak akipan thohnawnna ka ngah theih khak leh chiin.

¹²Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.

¹²Hiai tangkhinta ka hi keia, bukimkhinta leng ka hi kei; ahihhangin huai mah keia hihsak tumin ka delh teitei ahi, Kris Jesun keipen amaha honhihsaktak jiakin.

¹³Brethren, I could not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing [I do], forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,

¹³Unaute aw, tangkhintain ka kingai keia: ahihhangin thil khat bel ka hih- nunglama omte manghilhin malama om pen ka delh hi;

¹⁴I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴Kris Jesua Pathian sapna sang kipahman mu dingin phak chiamna tuh ka delh hi.

¹⁵Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye are otherwise minded, this also shall God reveal unto you:

¹⁵Huaijiakin i lak ua a piching deuhdeuh bekin huchibang lungsim i nei ding uh: huchia thil peuhpeuha lungsim dang na neih un tuh, huai tuh Pathian in nou a hontheisak ngei ding hi.

¹⁶only, whereunto we have attained, by that same [rule] let us walk.

¹⁶I hongtunna, i ngah chiangchiang uah muanhuaiin kip peuhmah ni uh.

¹⁷Brethren, be ye imitators together of me, and mark them that so walk even as ye have us for an ensample.

¹⁷Unaute aw, kei honching vek unla, huchibanga omte zuih dinga nonneihte uh tuh chiamteh un.

¹⁸For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:

¹⁸Tampi a omta ua, a tanchin uh ka honhilhhilhta hi, huan, Kris Kros melmate a hihdan uh, tuin leng kap kawmin ka honhilh hi,

¹⁹whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and [whose] glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.

¹⁹A tawpna uh tuh siatna ahi a, a pathian uh tuh a gilpi uh ahi a, huan a thupina uh leng a daina uh ahi, leilam thil ngaihtuahte jaw.

²⁰For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

²⁰I khovenghihna uh van ah ahi jaw a; huaia kipan mahin Toupa Jesu Kris hondampa tuh i nangak uhi;I pumpi thulim lou tuh amah thupina pumpi toh kibang dingin, a honbawl thak sak ding, thil bangkim amah thuthua a omsak theihna thilhihtheihnain.

²¹who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, [that it may be] conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself.

²¹I pumpi thulim lou tuh amah thupina pumpi toh kibang dingin, a honbawl thak sak ding, thil bangkim amah thuthua a omsak theihna thilhihtheihnain.
