- THUPATNA (Introduction):
Jesu Khris in leitung ah kum thum vel nna hong sem hi. A nnasep sung in sahkhaw thak- “Khristian sahkhua” toh kisai thuhilhna ana hilh ngitnget hi.
Huai hunlai a sahkhua omlel “Juda sahkhua” (Judaism) toh kituaklou pipi hi a a ngaihsut uh nnasep leh sinsaknate ana sinsak zel hi. Huaiziak in Juda sahkhua kembittu hi a kingai Siampu Liante, upate leh laigelhmite’n A kiang ah, “Kua thu in ahia hiai thilte na hih? Kua’n thuneihna hon pia ahia” (Mt. 21:23) chi’n ana dong uhi.
Lungsim pilkhel leh giloutak himahle uh sahkhua toh kisai a nnasepna khatpeuh ah “thuneitu” (authority) poimoh ahihdan teltak in na thei uhi. Jesu’n a dotna uh dotna dang mah “Johan baptisma koi a kipan ahia? Vaan a kipan hia ahihkeileh mihing a kipan?” chi in a dong thuk hi. Baptispa Johan in koi a kipan thuneihna mu a nnaseem ahia chih a dot kawm in sahkhua toh kisai a nnasep khatpeuh in kipatna naak (source) NIH nei ahihdan a na gen tel hi. Huaite bel – “Vaan (Pasian) a kipan” ahihkeileh “Mihing a kipan” ahi. Dot a om Juda sahkhaw makaite’n Johan baptisma pen “Vaan a kipan” achi chih a thei ua himahleh theihpihna a piak noplouh ziak un Amah kiang a a dotna uh leng Jesu’n a dawngkei hi.
Tuni in leng sahkhua toh kisai a i nnasep khempeuh thuneitu kichiantak a kipan ahih ngeingei a kuul hi. Hiai “Thuneitu kipatna” (Source of Authority) a kikhatlouh ziak in thugin tuamtuam a hong kipan khia a “Khristian sahkhua” pen nakpitak a kikhen-kibalna in a tummang hi. “Hiai khawngte a ding kia a ngetsak Ka hikei, a thu jiak ua Kei hon gingta lai diingte diing in leng nget sak Ka hi; a vek ua pumkhat a hihna ding un” (Jn. 17:20) chi in kipumkhatna di’n Jesu Khris ana thuum ngutngut hi. Sawltakpi Paul in leng Korinthte kiang ah hichibang in ana gelh hi: “Huan, unaute aw, na vek un thu kibang na gen ua, na lak ua kikhenna himhim a om louhna diing in lungsim munkhat leh ngaihtuah munkhat a diktak a na kizop chinten zawkna diing un Toupa Jesu Khris min in k’on ngen ahi” (1 Kor. 1:10). Huaiziak in Jesu Khris leh A sawltakpite’ deihdan bang kipumkhatna a om theihna diing in sahkhua toh kisai a i nnasep peuhmah Lai Siangthou thuneihna pansan a i sep ngeingei a kuul hi.
- LAI SIANGTHOU THUNEIHNA A HIHDAN CHETTHEIHNA CHITHUMTE (The Three Ways To Establish Bible Authority)
Lai Siangthou in thupiakte bang, khangthute bang, kumpite tanchinte bang, zawlneite leh Pasian mizatte nnasepte bang, late leh thupilte bang, genkholhna thute bang leh satan kampaute nangawn ana tunkhawm hi. Tuni in bang chibangte eiten i zuih diing hi a, sahkhua toh kisai a i nnasepte bang chibang a “Lai Siangthou thuneihna ahi” chithei i hiam chih i sutkhawm diing uhi.
Sahkhua toh kisai a i nnasep khatpeuh Lai Siangthou thuneihna a kihih a hihdan chettheihna chithum om hi. Tuate bel – “Thupiakte” (Commands), “Pompih a om sawltakpite’ nunziate” (Apostolic Approved Examples) leh “Diklou-theilou thukhitnate” (Necessary Inferences) ahi uhi. Hiaite khatkhat in i en suk diing uh.
- Thupiakte Tungtawn In (By Commands)
Pasian in Lai Siangthou ah A thupiakte tungtawn in i sepdiingte phalsakna a hon pia a, i seplouh diingte khaamna a hon bawl hi. Pasian’ thupiakten thupiak chi nih tunkhawm leuleu hi. Tuate bel – “Teltak a Thupiakte” (Specific Commands) leh “Tangpitak a Thupiakte” (Generic Commands) ahi uhi. Thupiak tampite’n teltak leh tangpitak a thugente tunkha tuaktuak hi. I theihtel semna di’n a malmal in i ensuk diing.
- Teltak A Thupiakte (Specific Commands):
Hiai bang thupiakte pen i va sim leh leng baihsamtak in theihtel pah theih hi. Etsakna diing in;
Adam & Evi: “Sia-le-pha theihna singgah na ne diing ahikei” (Gen 2:17)
Noah & a innkuante: “Nang diing in meilah sing in long bawl in…” (Gen 6:14)
Abraham & a suante: “Na lak ua pasal peuhmah zeksum diing ahi…” (Gen 17:10)
Israel tate: – Daan sawmpiakte (Exo. 20:1-17)
- Sabbath leh ankuangluina tuamtuamte (Exodus 23)
- Kithoihnate leh gamdan tuamtuamte (Exodus to Deutoronomi)
Thukhun Thak hun a mite:
- Hotdam hihtheihna dia Ginna (Mk 16:16), Kisikna (Nas 2:38), Gupna (Rom 10:9-10), Baptisma (Nas 2:38; 22:16)

- Gam vaihawmte thuthu a om diing (Rom 13:1)
- Thildang tampi teltak a thupiak zang in i zuih diingte leh i zuihlouh diingte a hon hilh hi.
Hiai bang a “Teltak a Thupiak” i muhte pen ginlelhna omlou a thumangtak a zuih diing tuh mihingte’ mohpuakna ahi. Hichibang thupiakte ah mihingten i “deihdan”, “hoihsakdan” leh “ngaihdante” sunlut theihna bangmah i neikei ua, thupiak a om bangbang a i zuih uh poimoh hi.
- Tangpitak A Thupiakte (Generic Commands)
Hiai “Tangpitak a Thupiakte” pen amah vuak a dinglou in “Teltak a Thupiakte” toh dingkhawm teitei sek hi. Etsakna khenkhat I en diing;
Gen. 22:1-19 “Abraham in a tapa Isak a latna”
“Huan, Aman, Na tapa, na tapa neih sun, na ittak, Isaak mah, pi inla, Moria gam ah pai inla, huailai ah K’on hilh diing tang khat ah halmang thillat diing in lan in, a chi a” (Gen. 22:2). Hiai ah “Teltak a thupiak” leh “Tangpitak a thupiak” kitunkhawm vive hi.
Teltak a Thupiak in a tunkhawmte – “tapa”, “Isak”, “Moria”, “halmang thillat” leh “K’on hilh diing tang khat” chihte ahi uh. Hiaite ah Abraham in khektheihna thuneihna bangmah a neikei. A tapa’ Isak chi a a telkheh ziak in naupang dang khatpeuh hiam ahihke’h a tapa mah Ishmael a zangthei mawkkei. “Moriah gam” a chih ziak in mundang khatpeuh ah a paithei mawkkei. “Halmang thillat” a chih chitchiat ziak in “vei thillat” in a tapa a lan theikei. Teltak a a gen ziak in a gen bang geih a hih buchin a kuul hi.
Hiai thupiak sung mah ah Tangpitak a Thupiak in a huamkhak khenkhat om a, tuate – “pi inla”, “pai inla”, “laan in” chihte ahi uhi. Hiai “Tangpitak a thupiakte” sepsuahna diing ah Pasian in a sepsuah didan telkhehna bangmah bawlsaklou hi. Huaiziak in huchibang thilte ah mihing in mahni lunggelna a “Punhuaizaw/lemtangzaw” (expedient) a i theihte zang thei di’n hon phalsak hi.
- “Punhuai/Lemtang” (Expedient)
Hiai thumal “punhuai/lemtang” (expedient) kichi toh kisai i Lai Siangthou in mun bangzah hiam ah ana genkha hi (Jn. 11:50; 16:7; 18:14; 1 Cor. 6:12; 10:23; 2 Cor. 8:10; 12:1). Hiai Lai Siangthou tangte pen Paite Lai Siangthou ah “hoih”, “siang”, “metna” chi’n a kilet hi. Vines Expository Dictionary in “lemtang”, “punhuai” (advantageous, profitable) chi in hilhchian hi. Sawltakpi Paul in Korinth-te kiang ah kithoihna sanek toh kisai a gen lai in, a “punhuaizaw”, a “lemtangzaw thil toh kisai a kuul leh poimoh theih ngeingei diing kichiantak in hon na hilh hi:
1 Kor. 6:12 “Thil bangkim hih kei diing in daan toh a kituak a, himahleh thil bangkim hih a punhuai zawkei; thil bangkim hih kei diing in daan toh a kituak a, himahleh bangmah thunuai a om di’n ka kiphal kei hi”
1 Kor. 10:23-24 “Thil bangkim hih daan toh a kituak a, himahleh thil bangkim hih a punhuai zawkei. Thil bangkim hih daan toh a kituak a, himahleh thil bangkim hih in mi a tungdingkei hi. Kuapeuh in amah hoihna diing zonglou in midang hoihna ding zong zaw hen”
Tomkim a lakkhawm in thil khatpeuh a “punhuaizaw/lemtangzaw” ahih theihna diing in hiaite poimoh hi:
- Daan (I omna gam daan) toh kituak ahih diing
- Punhuai, phatuam, hoih leh lemtang theipen ahih diing
- Tundingna ahih diing
- Hon thuneih khumtu ahihlouh diing
- Midangte a dia hoih ahih diing (mahni angmasialna a sep hilou diing)
A “lemtangzaw/punhuaizaw” thilte pen “Tangpitak a Thupiakte” kia ah kizang ahihdan mangngilh ngei hetlouh diing ahi.
Huaiziak in Tangpitak a thupiakte sepsuahna ah “daan toh kituak” ahih ngeingei diing ahi. Noah in long a bawlna toh kisai in tangpitak a thupiak “bawl in” kichi a sepsuahna diing in vanzat khatpeuh a zang thei hi. Himahleh a vanzat diing a gu theikei hi.
Huai ban ah daan toh kituak khempeuh leng a punhuai, phatuam leh a lemtang vekkei hi. Sawltakpi Paul in sa khatpeuh nekpen “daan toh kituak” ahi a chi a himahleh, a “punhuaikei” a chi behlap hi.
A “punhuaizaw/lemtangzaw” thil pen kuahiam khat kaipuktu hilou in tungdingtu ahihzawk a poimoh hi. Romete 14 ah unau khat in a nek hiam, a dawn hiam ziak a midang puksaktu ahihleh huchi bang thilte hihlouh a hoihzaw chi’n Paul in a gen hi. Huai omziatak bel, amah mimal a diing hilou in midangte hoihna diing a etzawk diing chihna ahi (Phil. 2:3-4; 1 Kor. 10:23-11:1; Rom. 14:1-15:2)
“Tangpitak a Thupiak” sepsuahna dia Abraham in amah lunggelna a “punhuaizaw/ lemtangzaw” ana zat bangbang om hiam chih i etbehlap diing.
“Pi inla”, “Pai inla” – Hiai thupiakte semsuah di’n “Sabengtung a bawl a, nnasemtu tangval nih a pi” (Gen 22:3).
“Laan in” chih thupiak semsuah di’n “Sing a ek a” (Gen 22:3), “Mei leh temta a tawi” (Gen 22:6) a, “Maitam a doh” (Gen 22:9) chih i mu hi.
Huchimah bang in tuni’n leng Pasian in eite’ kiang a “tangpitak a thupiak” a hon piakte ah daan toh kituak eimah lemgelna a a lemtangpen, a punhuaipen leh midangte tungding thei thilte i zang thei uhi. Tangpitak a thupiakte pansan a nei in thuginpi bangmah bawltheih ahikei. Huchih dungzui in a lemtangzaw/punhuaizaw thilte pen thugin kingakna hithei ngeilou hi.
- Pompih A Om Sawltakpite’ Nunziate (Apostolic Approved Examples)
Lai Siangthou ah thupiakte tungtawn in i sep diing leh seplouh diingte i theithei uhi. Thupiakte ban ah “Pompih a om sawltakpite’ nunziate” tungtawn in leng Pasian in eite kiang ah i zuih diing uh tawndan poimohte hon theisak hi:

Phil. 4:9 “Keimah a na thil theihte, tante, zakte leh muhte uh, huai thilte hih un: huchi in muanna Pasian na kiang uah a om diing hi”
2 Thess. 2:15 “Huaiziak in unaute aw, dingkip unla, ka laikhak uhiam ka kam uh hiam a na kiang ua k’on sinsaktak uh tawndante lenkip un”
2 Thess 3:6-7 “Huan, unaute aw, ka lak ua kipan a na muh uh tawndan bang a omlou a, daanlou banga om unau tengteng lak apan kihemkhe diing in i Toupa Jesu Kris min in thu ka hon pia uhi. Ka nunziate uh zuih diing dan noumau mahmah in na thei ngal ua; na lak uah daanlou bang in ka gamta ngeikei uhi”
Thupiak a om hi chitchiatlou ahihhang a pompih a om sawltakpite’ nunzia zuih diing i muhtheihte lak a khenkhatte;

Thil lamdang hihtheihnate pen Lai Siangthou namkiptu diing ahi a, Laisiangthou a bukim a piak a om khinta ahihman in a beita/tawpta hi (1 Kor. 13:8-13). Huai thil lamdang hihtheihnate pen Sawltakpite’ khutngakna tungtawn kia a piaksawn theih ahi uh (Nas. 8:14-19; 19:5-6). Tuni’n sawltakpite a dam a om nawntakei ua, Lai Siangthou apan thil lamdang hihtheihnate leng a beita hi.

Zawlnei Isai in hichibang in ana gen hi – “Toupa’ laibu ah zong unla, sim un; huaite lak ah khat leng kimlou a omkei diing a, khat leng koppih neilou a omkei diing; Ka kam ngei in thu a pia a, A kha ngei in huaite a pi khawmta ngal a” (Isai 34:16). Sahkhua toh kisai a thu poimoh khempeuh Lai Siangthou ah a kimlou omlou hi.
Sawltakpite’ kiang ah Jesu’n Kha Siangthou a hong tun chiang a “THUTAK TENGTENG” a pi diing ahihdan a gen hi. “Himahleh, Amah, Thutak Kha a hong tun chiang in, thutak tengteng ah nou a honpi diing; Amah phuahtawm in thu a gen dek ngalkei a; a zak peuhmah a gen zaw diing, thil hong tung diingte leng nou a hon theisak diing” (Jn. 16:13). Thutak a telkhalou om hitaleh “Thutak tengteng” chilou diing hi. Nasepte 2 ah Kha Siangthou a hong tung a sawltakpite thuam in “thutak tengteng” ah a pi a, huai “thutak tengteng” gelhkhiak a om bel Lai Siangthou i chih ahi.

Deut 12:32 “Hih diing a Ka hon thupiak peuh na hih diing uh ahi; na behlap ding uh ahi kei, na tawmsak diing uh leng ahikei”
Pau 30:5-6 “Pasian’ thu chiteng ettel ahi a, Amah muangte a diing in lum ahi. A thute ah behlap ke’n, A hon sal dia, zuauthei a muh in na om kha diing”
Kil 22:18-19 “Hiai laibu a genkholhna thute zapeuh kiang ah ka theisak hi: Mi kuapeuh in hiai thute a behlap ua leh Pasian in amau tung ah hiai laibu a kigelh gawtna tuh behlap in teh: Huan kuapeuh in hiai genkholhna laibu a thute lakmang a neih leh, Pasian in amau tan ding, hiai laibu a kigelh, hinna sing a kipan leh, khopi siangthou a kipan in lamang in teh”

Hiai a tung a I sim Lai Siangthou thute a pan in kichiantak in “Lai Siangthou’ daihna” pen phalsakna hi hetlou ahihdan I muthei uhi.
- Lai Siangthou’ Daihna Zahtaklou Khenkhatte (Some People Who Did Not Respect The Silence of The Scripture)
Lai Siangthou’ daihna zahtaklou a, a thupiaklouhte na hihkha teitei bangzah hiam i Lai Siangthou ah chiamteh in om hi. Tuabang mite Pasian in a pompih hia?

- Nadab Leh Abihu (Levitikas 10:1-3)
“Huan, Aron’ tapa Nadab leh Abihute’n a mei lakna uh a la tuaktuak ua, huai ah mei-am a koih ua, gimlim a buak ua, A THUPIAK LOUH PI IN Toupa ma ah mei zat louhchi a laan uh. Huchi in TOUPA ma a kipan in mei a hong pawtkhia a, amau a kanglum a, TOUPA ma ah a sita uh. Huchi in Mosi in Aron kiang ah, ‘Kei hon naih mite ah siangthou in ka lang ding a, mipite tengteng ma ah pahtawi in ka om ding, chia TOUPA’N a gen tak hiai ahi’, a chi a. Huan, Aron a dai dide hi”
Nadab leh Abihu in “Toupa’ thupiak” a omkhalou “A thupiak louhpi” mei a zat ziak un Toupa ma ah a kanglum uhi. “Hihkei un” a chihna omkei mahleh Toupa’ thupiak a telkhalou “mei chituam” a zat ziak un a nnasep un Pasian a pahtawi khakei a Pasian’ thangpaihna a sihpih uhi.
- Zin Gamdai Ah Mosi (Nambars 20)
Israelte Zin gamdai a hong tungta ua, tui a omlouh ziak in nakpitak in a hong phunta uhi. “Huchi in TOUPA’N Mosi a houpih a, ‘Chiang la inla, omkhawmte omkhawm sak inla, nang leh na unau Aron toh, huai suangpi a mitmuh ua a tui pawtsak ding in HILH/HOUPIH in; suangpi a kipan tui na lakkhiak sak ding; huchi in omkhawmte leh a gante na dawnsak ding hi’, chi in” (20:7-8). Mosi kiang a thupiak bel “Suangpi hilh/houpih diing” chih ahi.
“Huchi in Mosi in TOUPA ma a kipan chiang a thupiak bang in a la a. Mosi leh Aron in omkhawmte suangpi bul ah a omkhawm sak ua, a kiang uah, ‘Helhatte aw, ngai un, hiai suangpi a kipan tui ko’n lakkhiak sak ding uh hia?’ a chi ua. Huan, Mosi in a ban a zak a, suangpi a chiang in nihvei a sat a; huchi in tui a hong pawt zuazua a, omkhawmte leh a gante un a dawn uhi” (20:9-11). Mosi in “suangpi houpih” dia thupiak himahleh “Suangpi a chiang in nih vei a SAT hi”. Hiai ah “Suangpi satke’n” chi a khaamna koimah ah a omkei.
“Huan, TOUPA’N Mosi leh Aron kiang ah, No’n gintaklouh ua Israel suante’ mitmuh a no’n pahtawilouh ziak un hiai omkhawmte Ka piak gam ah na pilutkei ding uhi” (Nam. 20:12). Toupa’ thupiak louhpi a a hihziak un gamchiam a taanloh uhi. Pasian’ daihna zahtaklou a va hih teiteina pen Pasian ngaih in “Pasian pahtawina piaklouhna” ahi a, gawtna toh a kizui chetchet hi.
- iii. Mosi Daan Nuai A Siamputna (Hebrute 7:14)
Hebru laikhak gelhtu in Jesu Khris leitung a omlai hileh siampu hithei ngeilou diing ahihdan a hilhchetna ah “Lai Siangthou’ daihna” daan ana zang hi. “I Toupa lah Juda nam lak a hong suak ahi chih a kichian ngal a: Huai (Juda) nam thu ah siamputna toh kisai in Mosi in bangmah a genkei hi” (7:14). Mosi daan in huai daan nuai a siamputna nna sem thei diingte Levi chite ahi chi’n a gen hi (Nam. 3:5-13). “Juda chite” tungtang ah siamputna toh kisai in “bangmah a genkei”. “Juda chite” siampu ahitheikei diing uh chi a khaamna leng koimun mah ah a kimukei. Gendan dang in siamputna toh kisai in “Juda chite” tungtang ah “Lai Siangthou a dai” hi. Huaiziak in Hebru laikhak gelhtu in “Jesu Khris pen leitung a omlai hileh siampu hitheilou diing ahi” a chi hi.
A tung a I gensa thute tengteng a pan in “Lai Siangthou’ daihna” pen phalna hih naksang in “khaamna” ahizaw chih teltak in i muthei hi.
- Lai Siangthou’ Daihna Toh Kisai A Theih Diing Thupaipi Thumte (The Three Principles We Need To Understand In Regards To Silence of The Scripture)
Lai Siangthou in tangtak a khaamna a bawllouhte ah thilhoih ahih peuh leh hihtheih mahlou di a diam chih ngaihsutna i neih leh hiai thupaipi thumte hoihtak a I chiamteh ngeingei kuul hi.
Thupaipi Khatna: Pasian’ ngaihtuahna leh mihing ngaihtuahna kibanglou hi.
“Na ngaihtuahte uh Ka ngaihtuahte ahikei a, na omdante uh leng Ka omdante a hi samkei, Toupa’n a chi” (Isai 55:8). Huaiziak in ei hoihsakte Pasian in hoihsa ngeingei dia ngaihtuah mawkna pen Pasian toh mihing kibang leh kikim lel a koihna ahi.
Thupaipi Nihna: Nnahoih chiteng Lai Siangthou a tuansak a om khinta ahi.
“Lai Siangthou peuhmah Pasian hatkhum a piak ahi a; huaiziak in, thuhilhna diing bang, taihilhna diing bang, bawlhoihna diing bang, diktatna lam a kichilna diing bang in a phatuam hi; Huchia Pasian mi tuh nahoih chiteng sem diing a bukimtak a kivan a a kim theihna diing in” (2 Tim. 3:16-17). “Nahoih chiteng” kitunkhawmna laibu bel Lai Siangthou ahi. Pasian’ ngaih a “Nahoih” kichi “tengteng” kimtak a gelhlut ahi a, huaiziak in “bukimtak a kivat” theihna laibu omsun ahi.
Thupaipi Thumna: Sahkhua toh kisai a nnasep khatpeuh kipatna theihtelna.
Sahkhua toh kisai a nnasep khempeuh in kipatna naak (source) NIH KIA nei hi. Jesu’n Sanhedrin makaite kiang ah hiai thu a theihpihna hichibang in ana gen hi. “Johan baptisma koi a kipan ahia? Vaan (Pasian) a kipan hia ahihkeileh mihing a kipan?” (Mt. 21:23). Na thilhih pen “Vaan a kipan” ahihleh Pasian in a hon piak Lai Siangthou sung ah kimu diing hi. Lai Siangthou a a kimuhkei leh “Mihing a kipan” ahi. Sahkhua toh kisai a na thilhih pen “Mihing a kipan” ahih ngeingei leh Jesu Khris in hichi bang in gen hi: “A bang a bang hileh, a thuhilhna uah mihing’ thupiakte a hilhziak un a hon biakna uh BIAKNA THAWN ahi” (Mt. 15:9)
- THUKHITNA (Conclusion)
Tuni in sahkhua toh kisai a nnasep I neih khatpeuh “Pasian’ thu a ka hih ahi” a I chih theih poimoh hi. “Na hih peuhmah uh, thugen ah hiam, thilhih ah hiam amah ziak a Pa Pasian kiang a kipahthu gen kawm in Toupa Jesu min (thuneihna) in hihvek un” (Kol 3:17). Jesu Khris’ thuneihna a hih i hih theihna di’n I nnasepte pen Bible a kimu ahih a kuul hi. Lai Siangthou in “thupiak” hiam, ahihke’h “pompih a om sawltakpite nunziate” hiam, ahihke’h Lai Siangthou a thutak latsak a omte gawmkhawm a “diklou-theilou thukhitna” I bawl theihte a hong kipan ahih chiang in Jesu Khris’ min a nnasem I hikha pan hi.
Lai Siangthou pen bukim a piak ahihziak in mihing in I deihdan leh hoih I sakdan sunlut theihna I neikei hi. Bible a kimu nnasep ahihkhakkei leh I kipinate pen “Mihing a kipan sinsakna” ahi a, huaite zang a biakna bel “Biakna Thawn” ahi. Toupa min lou a nnasepna tengteng Pasian in pompih veklou a, A thupiak bangbang hihte kia pompih ahihdan Jesu Khris in hichibang in ana gen hi: “Toupa, Toupa hon chi napeuh vaangam a lutkei diing. Himahleh Ka Pa vaan a om’ deihlam hihte kia a lut diing uh. Huai ni chiang in mi tampi in, ‘Toupa na min in thute ka gen ua, na min in dawite ka delhkhia un, na min in thil lamdang tampi ka hihzel uh hilou hiam?’ a chi diing uh. Huai hun chiang in, ‘Nou thil gilou hihte aw, Ka hon thei ngeikei. Ka kiang a kipan paimang un’ chi in amau Ka hilh diing” (Mt. 7:21-23). Toupa min a kuhkaltak leh lungsim siangthoutak pu a nnasem himahle hang “Nou thil gilou hihte, Ka hon theikha ngeikei” hon chih maimah louh na diing in “Kua thu in ahia hiai thilte I hih uh – Pasian’ thu in hia ahihke’h Mihing thu in” chih kivelpha gige ni.
