2 Angraeng Jesu Kri, aicae Ampa Sithaw khae hoiah tahmenhaih hoi monghaih nangcae khaeah om nasoe.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

which is a deposit of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.

Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the holy ones,
