¹Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the [powers] that be are ordained of God.

¹Mi chih a tung ua vaihawmte thuthuin om heh. Pathian thu louin kuamah vaihawm a om ngal kei ua; vaihawmmi-a omte Pathian seh ahi uh.

²Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment.

²Huaijiakin, kuapeuh vaihawmmi sel tuh Pathian seh kalh ahi; a selten amau tungah vaihawmna a mu ding uhi.

³For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same:

³Vaihawmmite thil hoih hihte dingin kihtakhuai ahi kei uhi; thil hoihlou hihte dingin bel kihtakhuai ahi uhi. Ahihleh, vaihawmmi kihtaloua om na ut uhia? Thil hoih hih le uchin a phat na loh ding uh;

⁴for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil.

⁴Amah tuh na hoihna dingua Pathian nasemmi ahi ngala. Himahleh, kihta un. temsau lah a mawk tawi ngal keia; amah Pathian nasemmi, thil hihkhial tunga heha phulami ahi ngal a.

⁵Wherefore [ye] must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake.

⁵Huaijiakin, Pathian hehna kihtakna jiak kia hilouin, na sia leh pha theihna jiakun leng vaihawmmi thuthuin na om ding him uh ahi.

⁶For this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God's service, attending continually upon this very thing.

⁶Hiai jiakin siah leng na liau jel ve ua leh; huchibang thil ngei hih teitei dingin Pathian nasemmite ahi ngal ua.

⁷Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

⁷Mi tengteng kiangah piak ding peuhmah pia un; leiman piakna dingpa kiangah leiman pia unla, siah liauna dingpa kiangah siah liau unla; kihtak dingpa leng kihta unla; zahtak dingpa leng zahtak un.

⁸Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law.

⁸Kiittuahna loungal, kuamah bangmah ba kei un; amau mihinpih itpan dan a jui kimta ngal a.

⁹For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

⁹Hiaite, Angkawm ken, Tualthat ken, Gu ken, Eng ken chih leh, thupiak dang om nalai himhimte, Nangmah na kiit bangin na invengte na it ding hi, chihin a khaikhawm vek ngala.

¹⁰Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law.

¹⁰Itna in innvengte a hihse ngeikei a; huaijiakin itna jaw dan zuih kimna ahi.

¹¹And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we [first] believed.

¹¹Huailou –in, tu bang hun ahia chih na thei ua, ihmu khanloh a hun mahmahta chih na thei uh. Tun jaw i gintak tung lai sangin i hotdamna a nai zota ngala;

¹²The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

¹²Jan a bei dekdektaa, khua a vak dekta hi; huaijiakin miala thil hihte paiin vak thuamin i kithuam ding uh.

¹³Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy.

¹³Sun-a om bangin kilawm takin i om ding uh, zu dawn buai leh zu khama om louin, huk leh kingaihhata om louin, kilai leh kihajaa om louin.Toupa Jesu Krisin kithuam jaw inla, na sa duhgawlna uh pichin dingin bangmah kibawl kei un.

¹⁴But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof].

¹⁴Toupa Jesu Krisin kithuam jaw inla, na sa duhgawlna uh pichin dingin bangmah kibawl kei un.
