1 Te dongah ka ca nang Khrih Jesuh ah lungvatnah neh thaphoh uh.
You therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 Te khaw kai lamloh laipai a yet neh na yaak coeng. He he uepom hlang taengah pae ne. Amih tah a tloe thuituen ham khaw khangmai la om bitni.
And the things that you have heard me say among many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be qualified to teach others as well.
3 Jesuh Khrih kah rhalkap then la patang puei.
Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 Aka vathoh loh a khosaknah dongkah khosak rhamok neh a tingtong pawt daengah ni caemthoh te kolo la a om eh.
A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him.
5 Khat khat long khaw a loehlang dae a longim pawt la a loehlang atah rhuisam a khuem moenih.
Likewise, a competitor does not receive the crown unless he competes according to the rules.

Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David, as proclaimed by my gospel,
9 Te ham te laihmuh bangla thongtlak hilah ka patang dae Pathen kah Olka tah pinyen hlan.
for which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained!
10 Te dongah a coelh rhoek ham te boeih ka ueh. Te daengah ni khangnah te amih loh dungyan thangpomnah neh Khrih Jesuh ah a dang uh van eh. (aiōnios g166)
For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 He ol he a uepom ta. N'duek atah n'hing puei van ni ta.
This is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him;
12 N'ueh uh atah m'manghai uh van ni ta. N'hnawt uh van atah amah loh mamih he n'hnawt van ni.
if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;
13 Amah a hnawt thai pawt dongah n'hnalval uh cakhaw anih tah uepom la naeh ngawn ta.
if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.
14 He rhoek he thoelh pah. Pathen hmaiah naenam pawt ham kang uen. A hoeikhang ham pawt he aka ya rhoek kah pocinah ham ni te.
Remind the believers of these things, charging them before God to avoid quarreling over words, which succeeds only in leading the listeners to ruin.

Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.
16 Tedae a rhonging kah olhong te rhael, hlangrhong khuila muep cungphoek uh ve.
But avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness,
17 Amih kah olka te khaw hmapuek manrhaicak bangla cet ni. Te khuiah Hymenaeus neh Philetu om rhoi.
and the talk of such men will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
18 Amih rhoi loh oltak te a hlihloeh sak rhoi tih thohkoepnah om coeng a ti rhoi. Te vaengah hlangvang kah tangnah te a palet rhoi.
who have deviated from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already occurred, and they undermine the faith of some.
19 Tedae Pathen kah khoengim tah khangmai la pai. Hekah kutnoek aka om dongah amah kah la aka om rhoek te Boeipa loh aming. Te dongah Boeipa ming aka phoei boeih long tah boethae lamloh nong saeh.
Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”
20 Tahae kah im puei ah sui neh caben hnopai bueng pawt tih thing neh diklai umam khaw om. Te dongah a ngen tah thangpomnah ham om dae a tloe te tah yahpohnah la om.
A large house contains not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay. Some indeed are for honorable use, but others are for common use.
21 Te dongah khat khat loh he lamkah amah a cilpoe atah boeikung kah a congpang koi neh bibi then boeih ham a hmoel tih a ciim thangpomnah hnopai la om ni.
So if anyone cleanses himself of what is unfit, he will be a vessel for honor: sanctified, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.
22 Te dongah cadongcaloe kah hoehhamnah te rhaelrham tak lamtah duengnah, tangnah, lungnah, thinko a caih la Boeipa aka phoei rhoek neh rhoeprhoinah te huul lah.
Flee from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, together with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 Tedae aka ang neh angvawk kah olpungnah te hnawt lamtah rhalthohnah ni a. saii uh tila ming lah.
But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarreling.
24 Te dongah Boeipa kah sal loh hnueih ham a kuek moenih. Tedae a cungkuem ham kodo la khala neh ueh ham a kuek.
And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing.
25 Thimkalh rhoek muelhtuetnah neh toel mai. Amih te Pathen loh oltak mingnah dongla yutnah khaw a paek khaming.
He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.
