Chuleiin, ringnaa kalchawi ti umzie indik lem ei hriet a poimaw. A chin tak le a lien tak chenin, tu khomin ei theina ang seng le Pathienin ei nina dinga a ruot ang senga ei ringna le inphua sin thaw a, mani theina le chemkalna zawng sengah inhmang a, mani chan seng ei hlen hi ringnaa ei kalchawi dan ding tak chu a nih. Taksa pumkhata bung hrang hrang inpengtuoin an thaw ding tak an thaw seng chun mi hrisel le chakvak a siem angin, ram le hnam, khawtlang le sungkuo thra le hrisel indin ding chun, mi tinin mani theina sengah ei thaw dinga um chu ei hlen suok a ngai. Chu ngirhmuna inthok chun mi mal, sungkuo, khawtlang, hnam le ram ngir suokin a hung dingchang hlak a nih. Chu chu a nih kum sawmli liem taa hlaa ka lo khekpui kha:
Inthuruol hi hrătna bul a nih,
Inthre dar chu tlûkna bul a nih;
Ei ram ei hnam tungdingna dingin,
Thrangruolin hma tieng ke pên ei tiu.
Lal trongtrai ei hril zata “I ram hung tlung raw se” ei ti hlak hi Edena inthoka Pathien thil tum niin a’n lang. Chu thua Farisaihai zawna Isu’n a donnaah chun, “Pathien ram chu nangnia um a nih” a ti daih hrim a ni khah. Pathien thuneina le enkolna hnuoia ama ditzawng anga nunkhuo hmang theina Eden a siem chu bawsietna suol leia a lo koi dar hnung khomin, mihriem tina ama inlalna ram indin tum chu a thrul chuong nawh. Sienkhom, mihriemin thrat tieng pan neka suol tieng a awn tlat leiin tuiletin na takin a hrem a, Noa le a sungkuohai chauh a hlà a. Chu hnung khom chun thrat tieng pan an tum chuong nawh. Kum 400 hnungah a ditzawng thawtu ding sungkuo indin dingin Abraham a ko suok a, chu taka inthoka kum 470 hnungah, chu sungkuo fe peia inthok chun mihriem sandamna dinga Ama ngei mihriem taksa puta a hung inhlanna ding chu ruotin, kum 1900 neka tam hnungah a hung hlen a, mi tin ta dingin sandamna lampui a hung hong a, chu sandamna huonga lut theina chabi chu RINGNA a nih.
Chu lei tak chun, “Ringna naw chun Pathien suklawm ruol a ni si nawh. Tu khom Pathien hung pantu chun Ama chu a um ngei a, lungril taka Ama zongtuhai chu lawmman a pek hlak ti a ring ding a nih” tiin Hebrai lekhathon ziektu chun a lo hril a nih (Heb. 11:6). Chu Pathien ringtu chun a lawmman hmu ding chu dam sunga ni tina dong dingin am, an naw leh thi hnunga chauh chang dingin an beisei? “Ni khat chu hnena puon la sil ka tih” tia kalchawitu am, an naw leh ni tin, darkar tin, minit tin le sekhon tina hnena puon sila kalchawitu ni dingin a hringnun a buotsai?
Jakob-in, “Taksa hi thlarau thrang naw chun mithi a ni angin, ringna khom thilthaw thrang lo chun thil thi a nih” (2:26) a lo ti angin, ringnaa kal chawi inti siin, mani thaw ding thaw loin, tho loin zal trok trok inla, iem ei ringin umzie a nei ding? Lekha inchuktu ni lang, ka lekha inchuk ding inchuk si loin, thil dang thawsanin amanih um thăng mei mei lang, iem ringtu ka ni a sawtna? Ei thaw ding ei thaw naw zat hin suol ei thaw a nih. Ringnaa hma tieng pana kal chawinawtu, thil thra thaw ding hrea thaw si loa um thang mei meihai hi thaw lo suola sip ei nih.
Pathieninin a mi’n thuomna, mi tinin ei theina zawng senga ei thaw ding mawphurna ringum tak, indik tak le taima taka hlen hi ringnaa rong ei bawl dan ding tak chu a nih. Ama lawmzawng fel tak le ringum taka thawtuhai kuoma an thaw ang phu peia lawmman petu chun a thu zawmtuhai chu lawmman a pek ngei ngei a, a hrana hni buoi khom a ngai nawh. Mani thaw ding thaw pei si loa lawmman ei thrin tum pha leh kut a kei hlak a nih. Ringnaa kalchawitu tu khom an inthrung mûm el ngai nawh. Ringna le taimakna dam hi thil inkop tlat a nih. Tumruna leh khom. Ringna chun beiseina a pek leiin, chu chun thil thaw dingin ringtu lungril a mor a, hmu thei lo chu a hmaah pholeng anga a tarpek leiin chu chun tumruna le bei trăng trâng dinga taimakna a pek hlak. Ringtu nina le thabona hi thil inaihal a nih.
