4. PAULA NUN KAWNG HRUAITU:

i) Isua Krista:

vii) Tawngtaina:

Tawngtaina hi Paula nunah a bet nghet hle a. Engin a chhun tluk hnu, a mitin khua a hmuh theih hmain a tawngtai thu kan hmu a (Tirh 9:11). Rawngbawl tura kohna pawh a tawngtai laia dawng a ni (Tirh 22:17-21). Chanchin Tha hrilh turin Tawngtaina nen tirh chhuah a ni a (Tirh 13:2-3).

viii) Thawhrimna leh entawn tlaka nun:

Paula chu Pathian hnathawhpuituah a inruat a (1Kor3:9). Mahni kuta thawkin a rim hle thin (1Kor4:12). Thawhrimna leh entawn tlaka nun chu a thil tum, a nun kaihruaitu a ni.

Tichuan thil tha tih I ning suh ang u; kan inthlahdah loh zawngin a hun takah chuan kan seng dawn si a” (Gal 6:7-9) a ti a. Rim tak leh awm hle hle thei lova siamtu, fimkhur taka a nun hman tirtu pakhat chu ‘a thawh ang zelin Pathianin a la rel sak dawn’ tih a rin tlatna hi ani.

1. THUHMAHRUAI: 

He zirlah hian a pian thar hnua Paula nun bih chianna kan tarlang ang. A pian thar hmaa a nihna danglam tak chanchin kan hre tawh a. A pian thar hnua a nun inthlak danglam tak mai hian Pathian chhandamna hlut zia leh ropui zia fiah takin a tarlang theiin a rinawm. 

2. A PIAN THAR HNUA PAULA NUN:

Pathian thiltihtheihnain Paula nun a thlak danglam nasat zia hi tar lan sen rual a ni lo. He tiang hian lo tarlang i la;

 

i) Krista bawih a lo ni ta:

A lehkhathawn hmanga amah a inhriattirin, Paula hian thu hman uar tak a nei a, chungte chu; ‘tirhkoh’ tih leh, ‘bawih’ tih a ni. ‘Paula, Isua Krista bawih’ tiin Rom mite hnenah pawh a inhriattir a (Rom 1:1). 

Tunhmaa a lo tihduhdah thin Isua ‘lamtang’ mai pawh ni lovin, a bawihah a intulut a. Bawih chuan neitu a nei a, a neitu thu anga a awm a tul a, a neitu duh zawng ngaichangin a lakah inphahhnuai taka a awm a tul thin a. ‘Krista Isua bawih’ tih tawngkam Paulan a hmang hian; Isua nena an inlaichinna leh Isua laka a rilru put dan a tarlang a. A nun pumpui neitu leh a chunga roreltu chu Isua a ni a, a duhzawng tih leh a lawmna thlen pawh a thupui a lo ni ta a ni. “Nazaret Isua hming kalh lamin thil tam tak ti i la thain ka ring thin a” (Tirh 26:8) titu leh, “Hmanah chuan tisa leh rilru duhzawng tiin, kan tisa chaknate angina kan awm vek a…” (Eph 2:3) titu khan, “Krista bawih anga thinlunga Pathian duhzawng ti zawkin…” tih rilru a lo pu ta a ni.

ii) Amah avangin mi ten Pathian an chawimawi: 

Gal1:23-ah chuan, ‘rinna a tihkhawloh thin chu Paulan a hril ta zawk’ tih thu ringtu ten an lo hritin; “Pathian an chawimawi ta a” tih thu kan hmu a. Tun hma chuan amah avangin mi tam tak  tih manganin an awm thin a, tih duhdah leh vuak pawh an tuar a, phuarin an awm a, tan inah pawh tan tirin an awm bawk thin. Heng bakah hian, hlau leh ralti reng renga an awm tum pawh a tam hlein a rinawm. 

Pathian chhandamna ropui tak lo thlengin Paula nun a tih danglam achinah chuan amah avang vekin mi ten Pathian an chawimawi ve ta thung a. Pathian hnathawh ropui tak avanga nun inthlakthleng danglamnain Pathian chawimawi tir hial khawpa mite a khawih che thei hi danglamna duhawm tak a ni. A pian thar hnua a hun kal zel kan chhui kir phei chuan; Pathian an chawimawi theihna tura mi sang tam takte Krista ke bula hruaitu, a tihduhdah Isua hmanraw ropui ber zinga mi a nih dan a hriat theih a ni.  

iii) Krista tana nung a ni:

Tunhma chuan Paula chu Dan lama pharisai, Dan thua felna lama sawiselbo a ni (Phil3:6). Thlahtute thurochhiah chunga thahnem ngai em em a ni a. Judate sakhaw biak dan kawngah pawh a chite zinga a rualpui tam takte lehpeltu a ni (Gal1:14). Juda-ho sakhaw biak dan leh nun phung (Judaism) humhalh kawnga thahnem ngai em em, chu mi avanga Chanchin Tha namen lova do daltu a ni bawk. A tawi zawngin; ama tan, an chhungkua tan, ram leh hnam tan, a sakhaw thurin tana a nun pumpui hmang leh, hlawkna tur nia a hriat ang pianga nung thin mi a ni. 

Amaherawhchu, a hnena inlar Isua avang chuan a nun chu tih danglamin a lo awm ta a. “Krista hnenah khenbehin ka awm ta; nimahsela ka nung a ni; keimah erawh ka ni tawh lo, Krista chu keimahah a nung zawk a ni” (Gal 2:20) a ti ta a. A tana hlawkna tur apiangte pawh Krista avangin channaah a ruat a, hnawmhneah a ngai a (Phil 4:8). “Kei atan zawng nun hi Krista a ni” (Phil 1:21) tiin, “Kan nun chuan Lalpa tan kan nung a; kan thih pawhin Lalpa tan kan thi a ni si a; chuvangin kan nun pawhin, kan thih pawhin, Lalpa ta kan ni” (Rom 14: 8) a ti bawk a. Atheni khuaa thu a hril tuma a sawi angin a nun pumpui chu ‘Krista Isua avanga nung, che, leh awm’ (Tirh 17:28) a lo ni ta ni. 

Krista tana nung chu; nun laipui bera Isua dahtu nun a ni a, mahni inphatsan nun a ni a, inngaitlawm nun a ni a, mite rawngbawlsak nun a ni a, tawngtai leh Pathian fak nun a ni a, fel taka ti thin nun, taima nun, rinawm nun, Pathian tilawm nun, kraws pu nun , adt a ni. Heng zawng zawng hi Paulan Krista tana nun a hman dan a lo ni ta a ni.

iv) A hnenah Lalpa a inpuang thin:

Mi piangthar tawh Pathian nena inlaichinna nei tha leh tha lote danglamna pakhat chu; inlaichinna nei thate nunah chuan Lalpa a inpuang fo thin tih hi a ni. Hei hi ‘khawvel mite leh Pathian mite danglamna’ ti pawhin a sawi theih. 

Inlaichinna tha tak Pathian leh Paula inkarah pawh a awm thin tih tichiangtu chu ‘Paula hnenah hian kawng tam takin Pathian a inpuang thin’ tih hi a ni. Van thumna leh Paradis meuhvah lak chhoh a ni a (2Kor12:2-4); a hnena Pathian inpuan dan hi lehkha phek tawiteah tarlan sen rual a ni lo. 

v) Mi entawn tlak leh nun tam nei a ni:

Mi thianghlimte chunga a thil tihsual nasa tak vanga a chanchin an sawi thin, ringtu tam takin a chanchin an hriat ringawt atanga a ruka an tih, Paula chu - Isua nen an intawn tik atang chuan; mi entawn tlak leh, entawn tlak ni tura tan la fo thin a lo ni ta a ni. 

Entawn tlak a nih zia tilang a, amah entawn tura fuihna huai taka sawi thin mi a ni. Entir nan; “Mi zirtute ni rawh u.” (1Kor 11:1). “Entawn tur keini min nei.” (Phil 3:17). “Ka awm dan zirtute lo ni hlawm rawh u.” (Phil 3:17). “Nangnin min zirna turin in mi entawn atan kan insiam zawk a ni.” (2The 3:9). “Chhandam mekahte leh boral mekahte chuan Pathian tan Krista rimtui kan ni si a.” (2 Kor 2:15). “In thil zir te, in thil pawm te, in thil hriat te, keimaha in hmuhte pawh kha, khang ang khan ti thin ang che u.” (Phil 4:9) tiin.

Heng bakah hian, Paula chu nun tam nei mi a ni a. Amah insawi danin; tlawm taka awm dan a thiam a, hausaa awm dan a thiam a, tlai leh riltama awm dan a thiam a, hausa leh tlachhama awm dan thuruk pawh a hria a (Phil 4:12). Mi tam leh zual a lakluh theih nan mi zawng zawng bawihah a insiam thin a. Juda te, Dan hnuai awm te, dan nei lo te, chak lo te a lakluh theih nan Juda mi angin, Dan hnuaia awm angin, dan nei lo angin, chak lo angin a awm thiam bawk thin a ni (1Kor9:19-22). 

vi) Hrehawmna leh tuarna nasa tak hmachhawn thin a ni: 

Paula chungah hian chung lam hrin nihna leh tuarnate hi a rualin a thleng ta mai em ni tih turin, “Ka hming avangin hrehawm engtia nasa nge a tuar tur amah ka la hriattir dawn a ni” (Tirh 9:16) tih chu Anania hnena Paula tana thu lo thleng a ni. A pian thar hnu lawk atang chuan a nunah tuarna lo thlengin; Judate chu amah tihhlum tumin an inrawn a, kulh tukverha thlak ngaiin a awm hial a ni (Tirh9:23-25). 

Heng lo hi tuarna leh rehawmna tam tak a tawk a; thawhrimna nasa tak te, tan ina tan te, thi lek leka Judate leh Rom mite laka vuakna hleihluak tak te, tin; lunga den, lawng chhiatna vawi thum, zan khat leh ni khat tuifinriata awm, khaw kar kawng zinna hahthlak, luite laka hlauhawmna, suamhmangte laka hlauhawmna, a chipuite laka hlauhawmna, Jentailte laka hlauhawmna, khawpuia hlauhawmna, thlalera hlauhawmna, tuifinriata hlauhawmna, unau lerte zinga hlauhawmna, thawhhahna leh thawhrimna, vawi tam tak mut hilh theih lohna, riltam leh tuihalna, chaw ei tur neih lohna, khawsik, saruaka awmna, kohhran a ngaihtuahna leh chu mi avanga delhtu (2 Kor 11:23-28) leh, tuarna dang tam tak (2 Kor 1:8-10; 4:8-12) a tuar bawk. Hrehawmna leh tuarna avangin Paula hi a hnung tawlhin a tlawm ngai lo a ni. 

vii) Mi belhchian dawl a ni:

Profesor F.F. Bruce chuan, “Mihringte chanchin chhui zui theih zingah Paula tluka belhchian dawl an vang hle ang” a ti a. Hman lai kristian Gnostic-ho thu ziak ‘Nomad’ an tihah pawh, “Kan chhandamtu tih lovah chuan, mihring tana hlawkna thlen nasa bertu chu Paula a ni” tiin Paula fakna a awm. 

2Kor6:3-10-ah chuan, “Kan rawngbawl hna hi an dem lohna turin… Pathian rawngbawltute angin engkimah mi mit tlungin kan awm zawk thin” tiin, mi mit tlunga a awm thinna kawng sawm pariat (18) a tarlang a, chungte chu; nasa taka chhelnaah te, hrehawmnaah te, neksawrnaah te, hnawhchepnaah te, vuaknaah te, lung in tannaah te, buainaah te, thawhrimnaah te, mutmawhnaah te, chaw ngheinaah te, thianghlimnaah te, hriatnaah te, dawhtheihnaah te, ngilneihnaah te, Thalarau Thianghlimah te, hmangaihna tak takah te, thutak thuah te, Pathian thiltihtheihnaahte… tih a ni. Mi belhchian dawl a nih theih nan, “…tuman min dem lohna turin kan fimkhur a, Lalpa ngaih chauhvah ni lovin mihring ngaih pawha thil mawi kan ngaihtuah lawk thin” (2Kor 8:20-21) a ti hial a ni.

3. KHAIKHAWMNA:

Heng a chunga kan tar lante bakah hian; rim taka thawk thin a nihna te (Kol1:29; 1Thess2:9; 2Thess3:8; 1Tim4:10), lawm thin, Pathian chawimawi thin a nihna te (2Kor12:10; Tirh 16:25), chunglam thiltihtheihna rinchhan mi a nihna te (2Kor10:4), Chanchin Tha chhuang leh nunpui tlattu a nih zia te (Rom1:16), Kohhran vei, humhalh leh thutaka chawmtu a nih zia te (2Kor11:28-29), mi dangte Krista ke bula hruaitu a nih dan te, Thlarau lam Pa nih a tlin zia te, adt leh a dang tam tak a awm a, tarlan sen rual a ni lo.
