Chumi avângin kan dawl lo va; kan pâwn lam mihring hi lo awngrawp telh telh mah sela, kan chhûng lam mihring chu ni tin siam thar zêlin a awm zâwk a ni. (17) Kan hrehawm nêp tak, tûn mit khap kâr chhûng chauhva awm tûr hian, ropuina nasa tak chatuan atân min siamsak nasa tulh tulh a ni; (18) thil hmuh theihte hi en lovin, thil hmuh theih lohte chu kan en zâwk si a; thil hmuh theihte hi rei lo tê atân a ni a, thil hmuh theih lohte erawh chu chatuan atân a ni si a.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. (17) For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. (18) So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
