¹Put them in mind to be in subjection to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready unto every good work,

¹Vaihawmte leh thuneite lak a kitahlut dingdan bang, thuman dingdan bang, thilhoih chiteng hihngap dingdan bang,

²to speak evil of no man, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all meekness toward all men.

²kuamah gensiatlouh dingdan bang, vuallem loua omlouh dingdan bang, mitengteng lak a thunuailutna chiteng hihlang a, nunnem ding bang in amaute theikhethak saknawn in.

³For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

³Eileng nidanglai in haitakte, thumangloute, khema omte, utna leh kipahna chiteng semte, gilou leh hazat hat a omte, kihhuaite, kihawtuahte ihi ngal ua,

⁴But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared,

⁴Himahleh Pathian, I hondampa migitdan leh mihing tung a aitdan a hong kilat lai in,

⁵not by works [done] in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

⁵Diktatna a eiten thil ina hihte ziak hilou- in, a chitna bangzel a pianthakna a sawpin leh Khasiangthou- a thaksakna in eite a hon hondamta hi.

⁶which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

⁶Huai Khasiangthou tuh Jesu Kris I Hondampa vangin nakpitakin itung ah a sung bawta hi,

⁷that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

⁷Huchia, ahehpihna a siamtansak a oma, lametna a tangtawn hinna gou luahte ihih theihna ding in.

⁸Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I desire that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men:

⁸Hiai thugen a dik ahi. Hiai thilte na phut chiltel kon deih ahi, huchia Pathian gingta sa ten thil hoih hih ding a a pilvan theihna ding un; hiaite tuh mihingte a ding in ahoih in a phatuam uhi.

⁹but shun foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and fightings about law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

⁹Himahleh dotna haihuaite, khangthu suina te, kiselnate, dan thu a kilaina te zaw nungngat san zel in; huaituh thil phatuamlou leh bangmahlou ahi ngal a.

¹⁰A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse;

¹⁰GInna tuam neimi zaw khatvei nihvei hilh nungin deih ken;

¹¹knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.

¹¹Huchibang mi tuh a lampial in a gilou ahi chih nathei uh, amah mah siamlouh kitangsak ahi ngala.

¹²When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, give diligence to come unto me to Nicopolis: for there I have determined to winter.

¹²Artema hiam, Taikika hiam, na kiang a ka hon sawl chiang in, Nikopoli khua ah ka kiang ah hongpai teitei in; hiailai a phalbi zat ka tum ngal a.

¹³Set forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.

¹³Zena, dan theipa, leh Apoloin bangkim a taksap louhna ding un, a zinna uah phatuamngai takin masuan in.

¹⁴And let our [people] also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

¹⁴I miten leng, gahlou a a om louhna ding un, taksapna khawktakte a ding in thilhoih hih zel ding in zil uhen.Kakiang a om tengteng in chibai a hon buk uhi. Ginna a kei honitte chibai honna buk sak in. Na vek ua kiang ah hehpihna om hen. Amen.

¹⁵All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in faith. Grace be with you all.

¹⁵Kakiang a om tengteng in chibai a hon buk uhi. Ginna a kei honitte chibai honna buk sak in. Na vek ua kiang ah hehpihna om hen. Amen.
