1. THUGENTEHNA HILHCIAN DAN TUAMTUAMTE
A hun zui-in thugentehnate hilhcian dan tuamtuam om hi. A vekpi in gen khit dikdek haksa ding ahih manin, tomcik bekin gen ding hi hang.
(a) Mang Khiat (Allegorical Interpretation): Pawlpi masa hun laia-te in Jesu thugentehnate pen mang khiat uh hi. Mang khiat (allegorize) cih ciangin, thugentehna sung a kammal khempeuhin deihna nei ding a tuatna ahi hi. Gentehna-in, Augustine-in “Samaria Mihoih” (Lk. 10:30-37) a mang khiatna sungah, Thukham hilh siapa pen Adam hi, ci-in; Jerusalem pen vangam in khia a; Jerikho pen kha (moon), tua in a kisia thei/sithei (mortal) ahihna lakin; gutate pen dawite (devil) ci-in; Samaria Mihoihpa pen Jesu Khris hi, ci-in mang khiat gawp hi.

Tua mah bangin Jeremias-in zong, Jesu hong paina tawh vangam nopna kiciamkhol thei napi (inaugurated eschatology), a kiningcing takin pen vangam bekah kiciam thei ding hi (the consummation is future), ci-in gen hi.
2. JESU THUGENTEHNA IN A DEIHNA
(a) Jesu-in thugentehna a zat ciangin, a deihnapi penin Pasian Ukna tawh kisai thu mite in a telsiam theihna ding (simplify the Kingdom of God) ahi hi. Amah in thugentehna zangin Pasian Ukna thu a tangko ciangin, a thugen a za mite in theihnuam sa in, a deihna a telsiam pah theihna ding leh ciamteh nuam a sak theihna dingin gen hi.
(b) Khatveivei ciangin, mite in Pasian thuman-thutak thei a, a kisik khak ding uh lau ahih manin Jesu in thugentehna zang hi. Gentehna-in, Marka 4:11-12 sungah Jesu in Pasian Ukna tawh kisai thusim mite in a theih khak ding lau ahih manin, thugentehna zangin thu gen hi. Bang hang hiam cih leh, thu-umlo mite in Jesu thugentehna in a deihna thei hileh, Jesu thugente a uplohna uh khangzaw semsem dingin tuat ahih manin, thugentehna zangin thu genzaw hi. Tua ahih manin a nungzuite kiang bekah Pasian Ukna thusim pen gen hi. Ahi zongin Jesu in mite a mawhna panun kisikkik ding a deihlohna hi loin, a zakzak uh hangin tel siamlo, telzolo ding uh hi, cih pen phawk hi. Theisak nuam mah taleh, amaute in telzo loin, a lungsim uh khauh semsemzaw ding, cihna ahi hi.
(c) Jesu thugentehna pawlkhatte pen a deihna kitelcian sitset lo ahih manin, a thugen a za mite pen thu limtak ngaihsunsak hi. Tua bang a thu ngaihsun ding deihna tawh a thugentehna a gen hun zong om hi. Bang hang hiam cih leh, amaute in a ngaihsutna uh tungtawnin Pasian Ukna thu phawkthak zong nei kha thei dingin lametna nei hi. Tua banah, tua bang a thugenna in mite lungsim zong zo thei hi.

Ahi zongin, hong tun hun ding pen kibang loin; Pawlkhatte pen hong tung pah ding danin kigenin, pawlkhatte pen a nung deuh ciang a hong tung pan ding danin kigen hi.
(f) Thugentehna pawlkhatte in Jesu nungzui hoih suah ding dan (discipleship) hong sinsak hi. Gentehna-in, Luka 17: 7-10 sung a Nasempa Tavuan Thugentehna panin, nungzuite in thu man ding (obedience) a hihna kimu thei hi. Tua mah bangin, Matthai 21: 28-32 sung a Tapa Nihte Thugentehna panin, Pasian thu man ding ahihna kimu leuleu hi. Jesu thugentehna pawlkhatte in thunget (prayer) a kisapzia zong hong theisak hi (Lk. 18:1-8; 11:5-8). Tua banah, neihsa sum-le-pai zatsiam ding (right use of wealth) ahihna zong thugentehna pawlkhatte ah kimu hi (cf. Lk. 12: 16-21).
