Hiai bang hunah ei gingtute’n bang thupuak I mu/I ngah ua?
Khatna ah, khat-le-khat kihihhat tuah leh kihasuan tuaha om hun ahi (Hebrute 10:24-25).

Nidanga thumna a nana phawk khak ngeilouhte adinga thumsakna hun, sum-le-pai tasamte panpiha, lungkia leh bahte hasuan a kitunding-tuahna hun ahi.
Nihna ah, Toupa Pathian toh tona paikhawm hun ahi (Exodus 3:7-12). Tanglai a Israelte pitu Mosi in haksatna (hiipi leng, kial, natna leh mipite phunchiakna/ rebel) tampi atuah lai in, "Toupa, na ompihna toh n’on tonsak kei ding leh hiai ban hon paisak nawn ke’n" chi'n ana ngen hi.

Hiai bang hunah Toupa toh ton in pai ni hang. 'Jesu toh na ton chia’n lauh ding na neilou, Ton inla hangtakin masuan…', chih tuh 2020 thupuak khat hi mahmah kasa hi.
Thumna ah, hinkhua-a thiltuah leh ahongtungte peuhmah Pathian thupina kilatna ding ahih banah gospel puanzakna ding ahi. "Unaute aw, tu in ka tunga thil hongtungte Tanchinhoih a khanna di’a hongtung uh ahi chih na theih uh ka deih hi" (Philipi 1:12). Kim-le-kianga thiltungte leh eimah hinkhua a tuah leh tante Pathian thutak ahihna kilatna ding, gospel puanzakna ding leh Pathian toh naisem a kithuahna ding ahi. Hinkhua a I tuahte tungtawna Pathian in ei a A tup theih sawm ding ahi. Pathian thupina kilatna ding leh Amah a muanna ngak ding Pathian in A deih ahi (Exodus 14:4-18, 31 simthak ni).

"A kianga om ding leh thugen di’a A sawlkhiak dingin 12te (Jesu'n) A teelkhia hi" (Mark 3:14). Pathian toh naihsema kithuaha, Amah belh gige hun ahi.
Kisoisel hun ahikei a, kihasot hun ahi. Kihuat hun ahikei a, ki-it leh deihsaktuah hun ahi. Ki-etsan hun ahikeia, kikhotuah hun ahi. Pathian gamlatsan hun ahi kei, Amah belh gige hun ahi. Kum dang tengteng sangin leng khat-le-khat kihasuan leh kitundintuah hun hizaw mahmah lou hiam ka chi ahi. Huaiziakin, thilhih, thugen, kampau leh omdan ah midangte hihliam leh lungkesak tu hilou ding in pilvang ni. "Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ" (Phillipi1:27).
