and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be amongst you for your sake.

You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

7 Cedawngawh nangmih taw Makedonia ingkaw Akhaia qam pum awh ak awm, ak cangnaak thlangkhqi boeih a toek kawina awm uhyk ti.

so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith towards God has gone out, so that we need not to say anything.

9 Myihlip bawknaak ce qoeng unawh ak hqing ingkaw ak thym Khawsa bibi ham ingkaw,

For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Yeshua, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
