¹Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.

¹Huchiin, a ta deihtakte bangin Pathian omdan late hi un;

²Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

²Huan, Krisin a honit a, namtui dinga Pathian kianga thilpiak ding leh kithoihna dinga i sika dia a kipiak bang mahin itnaah om un.

³But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;

³Himahleh, mi siangthoute hiha kilawm himin kingaih leh sianglou tengteng huaihamna toh, na lak uah loh khakin om kei hen.

⁴nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.

⁴Zahmohte, thuginalou gente, chiamniuh thu nangawn huaite bang a kilawm lou hi; huaite hih sangin kipahthu gen jaw un.

⁵Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.

⁵Kingaihhat leh mi thanghuai leh, mi huaiham himhimin (mi huaiham jaw milim bemi a hi) Kris leh Pathian gamah tanding himhim a neikei uh chih na thei mahmah ngal ua.

⁶Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

⁶Kuamahin thuginalou peuhin honkhem kei uhen; huai thilte jiakin Pathian thangpaihna tuh thumanglou tate tungah a tung naknak ahi.

⁷Therefore don’t be partakers with them.

⁷Huaijiakin amau kikoppih kei un.

⁸For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

⁸Tuma lamin mial na hi ua, tun jaw Toupa ah vak na honghita uhi; vak tate bangin om un;

⁹for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,

⁹Vak gah tuh hoihna leh, diktatna leh, thutak tengteng ahi;

¹⁰proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.

¹⁰Toupa kipahna lamtak bang ahi hiam zong un.

¹¹Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

¹¹Huan, mial thilhih gah nei ngei loute ah leng panna himhim neikei unla, pan naksangin a diklouhdan uh theisak jaw un.

¹²For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.

¹²A guka a thilhih nakte utuh a gen leng a zumhuai ngala.

¹³But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.

¹³Himahleh, thil bangkim a diklouhdan muhtheiha om tuh vak hihlat ahi nak hi; muhtheiha om peuhmah tuh vak ahi ngala.

¹⁴Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

¹⁴Huaijiakin, Nang ihmu! hak inla, misi laka kipan thou in. Huchiin, Krisin vak honpe ding, chih ahi.

¹⁵Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;

¹⁵Huan, mi pil loute banga om louin, mi pilte banga om jawin, na omdan uah pilvang un;

¹⁶redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

¹⁶Nite a hoih louh jiakin hun na neih sungun atam theipen sem jel un.

¹⁷Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

¹⁷Huaijiakin hai nuam dah unla, Toupa deihlam bang ahia chih thei jaw un.

¹⁸Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,

¹⁸Huan, uain khamin om kei un, huaiah tuh kideklouhna a om ngala; Khaa dimin om jaw un,

¹⁹speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing, and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

¹⁹Phatna late, Pathian late, khalam latea kihoupih chiata Toupa kianga na lungtang tengteng ua ging kilawm bawl leh lasain, leh.

²⁰giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

²⁰I Toupa Jesu Kris mina, Pathian, Pa ngei kianga, bangkim tunga kipahthu gen gigein.

²¹subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.

²¹Kris laudansiamin kiniamkhiak chiat un.

²²Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

²²Jite aw, Toupa kianga na kiniamkhiak bang un, noumau pasalte kiangah kiniamkhiak un.

²³For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

²³Kris tuh amah ngei pumpi hondampa hi a, saptuamte lutang a hih mahbangin, pasal tuh ji lutang ahi ngala.

²⁴But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.

²⁴Huchiin, saptuamte Kris kianga a kiniamkhiak mahbang un jite tuh bangkim ah a pasalte uh kiangah kiniamkhiak uhen.

²⁵Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;

²⁵Pasalte aw, na jite uh it un, Krisin saptuamte a ita, a sik ua a kipiak bangin,

²⁶that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

²⁶Huchia amau tuh tuia sila thua a hihsiangthou theihna dingin;

²⁷that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

²⁷Huan, huchia, saptuamte tuh ninbang lou leh, vuai lou leh, huchibang thil mawngmawng pu loua, siangthou leh gensiatbeia om jawa, amah leh amah tuh saptuamte thupi taka a kipiak theihna dingin.

²⁸Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

²⁸Huchimahbangin pasalten leng amau pumpi mah bangin amau jite tuh a it ding uh ahi. Amah ji itpa tuh amah kiit ahi.

²⁹For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;

²⁹Kuamahin amah sa mah aho ngei ngal keia, a vakin a deihthoh zo nak hi, Krisin saptuamte a vaka a deihthoh mah bangin;

³⁰because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.

³⁰A pumpi hiangte i hi ngal ua.

³¹“For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24

³¹Huaijiakin pasalin a nu leh a pa paisanin a ji a len chinten dinga, huan, a nih un sa pumkhat a honghita ding uh.

³²This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.

³²Hiai thuguk tuh a thupi hi, himahleh ken jaw Kris leh saptuamte thu ahi ka gen.Abang abang hileh, nou laka kuapeuhmah in amah a kiit bang in a ji it hen; ji mahin leng a pasal zahtak dingin pilvang hen.

³³Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

³³Abang abang hileh, nou laka kuapeuhmah in amah a kiit bang in a ji it hen; ji mahin leng a pasal zahtak dingin pilvang hen.
