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?

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 adotna uh leng Jesu’n a dawngkei hi.

POMPIH A OM SAWLTAKPITE’ NUNZIATE

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. Sawltakpite nunziate zui diing a thupiak ihi;
1 Kor 4:16 “Huaiziak in ka omdan zui diing in ka hon ngen hi”.
1 Kor. 11:1 “Hon enzuite hi un, kei leng Khris enzuitu ka hih mah bang in”
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”

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;
Saptuam Upa sehna ah khat sang a tamzaw ana sepzel uh (Nas.14:23; 20:28; Phil.1:1; 1Pet.5:1-3).
Ni sagih ni masapen in tanghou ana balkham zel uh (Nas 20:7)
Ni sagih ni masapen in thilpiak ana lakhawm zel uh (1 Kor. 16:1-2)
Panpihna nnasep toh kisai a tualsung saptuam khat in tualsung saptuam dangte a panpihna (Nas. 11:29-30)
Sawltakpite’ nunzia khempeuh zuihvek diing hilou in “Pompih” (approved) a omte zuih diing ahi uh. Sawltakpi Johan in, “Deihtakte aw, thil gilou enzuikei unla, a hoihte enzuizaw un…” (3 Jn. 11) a chi hi. Sawltakpite’ nunziate lak ah bang chibangte tuni a zuih kullou hihiam chih i et behlap diing.
Sawltakpite’ Nunzia Hon Kaan Khaloute (Apostolic Examples That Are Not Binding)
Namkhat Tawndan A Na Zuihte uh
Thukhun Thak pen nam khatkia a diing hinawn talou in “namchih” (Mt. 28:18) a diing ahihman in sawltakpite’n Juda mi ahihziak ua Judate’ tawndan a na zuihte un tuni’n eite a hon kaan nawnkei hi.
Judate tawndan a tamzaw thamte Thukhun Lui a kinga ahi ua, huai Thukhun Lui pen Jesu Khris in Kross a kilhbelh in a lakheta hi (Kol. 2:14; Rom. 10:4).
Nam tuamtuamte’ tawndante tungtang thu a kuamah kidem leh kimohpaihlou diing in Paul in a hon sinsak hi (Rom. 14:1-15:6; 1 Cor. 8:1-13; 10:23-11:1; Col. 2:16-23).

Tawndan khatpeuh Khris’ daan toh kikalhlou ahihleh zuihtheih ahihdan a gen a, himahleh huaite zang a midangte’ kaanlouh diing ahihdan Paul in a gen (Col. 3:17; cf. 1 Cor. 6:12; 9:21; 10:23-24)

Khelhna hihlou dia sinsak I hih ziak un sawltakpite’n khelhna ana hihkhakte uh I zuih diing ahikei (Acts 17:30; 1 Jn. 1:8-2:2; 3:4-10). Etsakna di’n Sawltakpi Peter in lepchiahna khelhna ana hih khak (Gal. 2:11-14) pen i etton diing ahikei.
Thil Lamdang Ana Hihte Uh
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. Huaiziak in Sawltakpite’n thil lamdang ana hihte uh tuni a I etton diing ahi nawnkei hi.
DIKLOU-THEILOU THUKHITNA (Necessary Inference)
Sahkhua toh kisai a nnasep peuhmah Lai Siangthou thuneihna a kipan ahi i chih theihna lampi nih i genkhinta hi. Huaitegel ban ah a “Diklou-theilou Thukhitna” (Necessary Inference/Conclusion) tungtawn in Pasian in i zuih diing Thukhun hon langhsak hi.

Thudik khatna: Thangpu’ gikdan Kg 65 ahi.
Thudik nihna: Sangpu leh Thangpu a gikdan uh a kikim.
Thukhitna: Hiai ah Sangpu’ gikdan ser phazah kigenkei mahleh latsak a om thudik nihte a kipan “diklou-theilou thukhitna” i bawl theih tuh “Sangpu leng Kg. 65 a gik ahi” chih ahi.
Thukhitna dang leng tampi a bawl theih hi. Etsakna di’n;
Thangpu leh Sangpu a dinsan dan uh a kikim

Huai bel “Sangpu’ leng Kg 65 a gik ahi” chih ahi. Huai ahi “diklou-theilou thukhitna” kichi.

Matthai 19:3-12 Kimakna Toh Kisai
Pharisaite Jesu kiang ah a hong pai ua, “Bang ziak peuh a mi’n a ji a mak a siang hia?” (19:3)chi in a dong uhi. Jesu’n Lai Siangthou hichibang a pansan in a dawng hi:
Khatna: “A tung a kipan amau bawlpa’n (Pasian in) numei leh pasal a bawl” (Gen 2:21-22)
Nihna: “Pasal in a nu-le-pa a paisan diing a, a ji a len diing a, huchi in a nih un sa pumkhat a hong hita diing uh” (Gen 2:24).
Thukhitna: “Huaiziak in Pasian in a zopsa mihing in khenkei hen” (Mt. 19:6)
Hiai thukhitna pen Genesis laibu ah a kigelhkei a, Daan laibute ah leng koimun mah ah a kigelh khakei hi. Himahleh Jesu’n a gintak thu a dawnna pemawklou in, numei leh pasal kizopna toh kisai a thudik latsak a omte lakhawm in “diklou-theilou thukhitna” ana bawl hi.
Matthai 22:23-33 Thohnawnna Toh Kisai
Saddukaite a hong pai leuleu ua, thohnawnna omlou chih gingtate (22:23) ahihziak un, thohnawnna toh kisai theih buaihuai tuak mahmah dotna khat Jesu kiang’h hong dong leuleu uhi. Jesu’n Exodus 3:6 na pansan in hichi’n a dawng hi: “Ahihhang in, misi thohnawnna thu Pasian in na kiang ua a gen na simkei ua hia? Kei Abraham Pasian, Isaak Pasian, Jakob Pasian ka hi. Pasian zaw a sisate Pasian a hikei a, a nungta laite Pasian ahi zaw, a chi a” (22:31, 32).
Khatna: “Pasian zaw a sisate Pasian a hikei a, a nungta laite Pasian ahi zaw” (22:32).
Pasian pen a nungta laite Pasian ahi.
Nihna: “Kei Abraham Pasian, Isaak Pasian, Jakob Pasian ka hi” (Exod. 3:6). Abraham, Isak leh Jakob-te a sikhinta (Gen 49:29-33) himahle uh, a Pasian uh ka hi a chi veve hi.
Thukhitna: Huaiziak in, Abraham, Isak leh Jakob-te sikhin himahle uh Pasian pen a Pasian uh hilai veve ahihman in a sihkhit nung ua leng “nungta lai” uh ahi chi a “Misi thohnawnna thu Pasian in na kiang ua a gen na simkei ua hia?” (22:31) chi in dotna thuvual zang in Thohnawnna om ahihdan a hilhchian hi.

Nasepte 8:26-38 Ethiopia Mi Chilgehpa’ Pianthakna
Ethiopa mi chilgehpa Jerusalem khua a Pasian bia a kuan kiklam Gaza khaw zuan a apailai in Philip a kiang ah a va pai hi. Zawlnei Isai laibu ana sim lellel a, Philip in a hilhchian hi. Huchi in tui munkhat a hong tung ua mi chilgehpa’n baptisma a tang chih I sim uhi.

Ni Sagih Ni Masapen A Khristiante’ Biakna
Bangziak a tuni a khristiante’n ni sagih ni masapen a Biakkhawmna nei sese i hia?
Khatna: “Khenkhat hihdan bang a i kikhopnate uh tawpsanlou in kihasuan tuah zaw ni. Ni tuh hong nai hulhul a na theih un kihasuan tuah semsem un” (Heb. 10:25).
Nihna: “Huan ni sagih ni masapen in, tanghou balkham diing a ka kikhop lai un” (Nas. 20:7)

THUKHITNA (Conclusion)
Tuni in sahkhua toh kisai a nnasep I neih khatpeuh “Pasian’ thu a ka hih ahi” 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.
