¹Huan, unaute aw, Tanchin Hoih ka honhilh jaw ka honthei sak nawn ding a; huai Tanchin Hoih na nakipahpih ua, huaimah ah na ding ua;

¹Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

²Kon thu hilh pen na mawk gintak uh a hih louha, pom kichian na hih uleh huai mahah hotdam lelin na om uhi.

²By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

³A masapenin ken ka muh sam tuh nou kon hilh sawna; huchia, Kris Laisiangthou bangbanga i khelhnate jiaka a siha,

³For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

⁴A vui ua, Laisiangthou bangbanga ni thum nia kaihthoha a oma,

⁴And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

⁵Kifa kianga a hongkilaka, huai khita sawm leh nihte kianga a kilak thute.

⁵And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:

⁶Huai khitin unau za nga sanga tam kiangah a kilak nawna, huaite laka mi, a tam jaw tutanin leng a dam lai ua, khenkhat bel a ihmuta uhi.

⁶After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

⁷Huai khitin Jakob kiangah a kilak nawna; huai khitin sawltak tengteng kiangah.

⁷After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

⁸Huan, a tawppenah, a hunlou banga piang, keimah kiangah leng a kilaka.

⁸And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

⁹Kei jaw sawltak laka neupen, Pathian saptuamte ka sawi jiaka sawltaka chihtuak louh ka hi ngala.

⁹For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

¹⁰Himahleh, Pathian hehpihna jiakin ka hihhih ka hita; huan, a hehpihna honpiak a thawnin a om keia, huchih naksangin, amau tengteng sangin ka sem gim jaw ahi; himahleh keimah kian ka sem keia, Pathian hehpihna ka kianga omin a sem jaw hi.

¹⁰But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

¹¹Abang abang hitaleh, ken leng, amau leng, huchiin ka gen jel ua, huchiin nou leng na gingta uhi.

¹¹Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

¹²Huan, Kris thu misi laka kipan kaihthohin a om chih a honhilh ngal uleh, bangchidan ahia na lak ua khenkhatin, Misi thohnawnna himhim a om kei, na chih uh?

¹²Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

¹³Misi thohnawnna himhim a omlou ahihleh, huai Kris leng kaihthohin a om kei ding hi.

¹³But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

¹⁴Huan huai Kris kaihthoha a om kei leh, i thugen uh bangmah lou ahi dinga, na gin uleng bangmah lou ahi ding hi.

¹⁴And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

¹⁵Ahi, Kris a kaithou chih Pathian i theihpih jiakin, Pathian lam thu ah theihpih juauthei leng i honghi ding hi, misite kaihthoha a om kei uleh, amah leng a kaithou kei dinga.

¹⁵Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

¹⁶Misite kaithoha a om kei un jaw, Kris leng kaihthohin a omta kei ding.

¹⁶For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

¹⁷Huan, Kris kaihthoha a om kei leh, na gin uh bangmah lou ahi dinga, na khelhna uah na om ni louhlouh uh ahi ding.

¹⁷And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

¹⁸Huai ahihleh, Krisa ihmu sate a mangthangte uh ahi ding hi.

¹⁸Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

¹⁹Tu damsung kiaa Kris tunga lametna i neih injaw mi tengteng dia mi hehpihhuai pen i hi ding hi.

¹⁹If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

²⁰Himahleh, Kris misi laka kipan kaihthohin a om taktak ahi, ihmute laka kipan gahmasa a na hita hi.

²⁰But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

²¹Mi khat jiaka sihna a hongom jiakin mi khat jiak mahin misi thohnawnna leng a hongomta ahi.

²¹For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

²²Adam ah mi tengteng a si mahbang un, Kris ah mi tengteng hihhinin leng a om ding uhi.

²²For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

²³Himahleh, amau hun chiat jel ah: Kris tuh gah masapente ahia; huai khit chiangin a hongpainawnna ah Kris ate.

²³But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

²⁴Huai khit chiangin a tawp a hongtung ding; huai hun chiangin, vaihawmna tengteng leh, thuneihna leh thilhihtheihna tengteng a hihman nungin, Pathian kiangah, Pa kiang ngeingei ah gam tuh a pe ding hi.

²⁴Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

²⁵A melmate tengteng a khe nuaia a koih masiah aman vaihawm ding ahi ngala.

²⁵For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

²⁶Melma nanungpen a hihmanga om ding tuh sihna ahi.

²⁶The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

²⁷Aman a khe nuaiah bangkim a koih ngala, himahleh, A nuaiah bangkim koihin a om, a chihin, a nuaia bangkim koihpa a pang kha kei chih a kimugige ahi.

²⁷For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

²⁸Huan, a nuaia bangkim koiha a om hun chiangin, Tapa mahmah leng a nuaia koihin a om dinga, Pathian tuh bangkima bangkim a hih theihna dingin

²⁸And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

²⁹Huchi bang ahih kei in, misite adinga baptisma a tansak uh bang a chihna uh hi ding ahia? Misite kaihthoha a om louh hial ding uleh, bang achia amau adia baptisma tansak uh ahia?

²⁹Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

³⁰Bangjiakin ahia, kei leng dak kal chiha lauthawnghuaia ka om?

³⁰And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?

³¹Unaute aw, Kris Jesu i Toupaa ka honsuanna sialin, Ni tengin ka si, ka chi ahi.

³¹I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

³²Mihing danin gen leng, Ephesa khua a gam sate kilaipih ka hih leh, kei din bang a phatuam ding? Misi kaihthoha a om kei ding uleh nein dawn leng ake, jingchianga si ding hi ve hangin.

³²If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

³³Khemin om kei un; Lawm gilouten omdan hoih a hihgawp nak uhi.

³³Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

³⁴Kizentakin halh unla, thil hihkhial kei un; khenkhatin Pa Pathian theihna himhim na neikei uh; huai tuh na zumna ding ua ka gen ahi.

³⁴Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

³⁵Himahleh, kuahiamkhatin, Misi bangchin kaihthoh ahi ding uh? Pumpi bangchi bang puin ahia a hongsuah ding? a chi ahi ding e.

³⁵But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

³⁶Nang mi hai, nangmah mahin na tuh leng, a sih phot keileh hihhinin a om sama.

³⁶Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

³⁷Huan, chi na tuhin a pumpi hongom ding pen ahi keia, a tang lel na tuh zo nak, buh tang hiam, chi dang tang hiam ahi thei hi.

³⁷And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

³⁸Himahleh, Pathianin amah deih bangbangin pumpi a pia hi, a tang chih kiangah amah pumpi chiat.

³⁸But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

³⁹Sa tengteng sa chi khat ahi kei ua; mihing sa a tuama, gamsa sa a tuama, vasa sa a tuama, ngasa sa a tuam ahi.

³⁹All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

⁴⁰Vanlam pumpite leng a oma, leilam pumpite leng a om, himahleh vanlam pumpite thupina a tuama, leilam pumpite thupina a tuam,

⁴⁰There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

⁴¹Ni thupina a tuam, kha thupina a tuama, aksite thupina a tuam; aksi leh aksi leng a thupina uh a tuam ngala.

⁴¹There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

⁴²Misite thohnawnna leng tuabang ahi. Muattheia tuhin a oma, muattheiloua kaihthohin a om.

⁴²So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

⁴³Pahtawilouha tuhin a oma, thupitaka kaihthohin a om. Hatloua tuhin a oma, thilhihtheihna neia kaihthohin a om.

⁴³It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

⁴⁴Salam pumpi-a tuhin a oma, khalam pumi-a kaihthohin a om. Salam pumpi a om leh khalam pumpi leng a om.

⁴⁴It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

⁴⁵Huchiin, Mi masapen Adam tuh mihing a honghia, chi-a gelh ahi; Adam nanungpen bel hinna pepa kha a honghi a.

⁴⁵And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

⁴⁶Himahleh, khalam a om masa keia, sa lam a om jaw; huai zohin khalam pen a om hi.

⁴⁶Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

⁴⁷Mihing masapen leia siam, leimi ahia; mihing nihna pen vanmi ahi.

⁴⁷The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

⁴⁸Leia siam mihing bang tuh, leia te leng ahi ua; vana mi bang tuh, vanate leng ahi uhi.

⁴⁸As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

⁴⁹Huan, leia siam batna pen i put bangin, vana batna pen leng i pu sam ding uhi.

⁴⁹And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

⁵⁰Unaute aw, sa leh sisanin Pathian gam a luah theikei dinga; muat theiin muat theilou a luah sam kei ding, chih, ka gen ahi.

⁵⁰Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

⁵¹Ngai un, thuguk ka honhilh ding hi: i vek un i ihmu khol kei dinga, himahleh i vek un pengkul nanungpen gin chiangin, sawtlou kalin,

⁵¹Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

⁵²Mitphiat kal louin, hihlamdangin i om vekta ding; pengkul ging ding ahi ngala, huchiin, misite tuh muat theiloua kaihthohin a om ding ua, eite leng hihlamdanin i om ta ding hi.

⁵²In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

⁵³Hiai muat theiin muat theihlouhna a silh ding ahi a, hiai sitheiin leng sihtheihlouhna a silh sam ding ahi.

⁵³For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

⁵⁴Huchia, hiai muattheiin muatheihlouhna a silha, hiai sithein sihtheihlouhna a silh hun chiangin, huai hun ngeingeiin, zohnain sihnaa valh zouta, chih thugelh a hong tung ding.

⁵⁴So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

⁵⁵Aw sihna, na zohna koia omta ahia? Aw sihna na gu koia omta ahia?

⁵⁵O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

⁵⁶Sihna gu tuh khelhna ahia; khelhna thilhihtheihna tuh dan ahi.

⁵⁶The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

⁵⁷Himahleh, i Toupa Jesu Kris jiaka zohna honpepa Pathian kiangah kipahthu om hen.Huaijiakin, ka unau deihtakte aw, kip takin, hihlin vuallouhin, Toupa nasep phatuam ngai taka sem gigein om un, na sepgimna uh Toupa ah a thawn ngei kei chih na thei ngal ua.

⁵⁷But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵⁸Huaijiakin, ka unau deihtakte aw, kip takin, hihlin vuallouhin, Toupa nasep phatuam ngai taka sem gigein om un, na sepgimna uh Toupa ah a thawn ngei kei chih na thei ngal ua.

⁵⁸Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
