Pathian in sangtu kin veksen catuh kinmah phuatua ṭeen lehsawng kin pe i. Ikhalselai kin cohnak lehsawng khiah bang dun lo i, ti tu ling tlang sio ising. Paul in, “Kin pumpak kin veksen in covo laksawng nai ten i sing ai ciami khiah Khrih ai kin pe tenhnak bang in i” ti i (Efi. 4:7).

Ciami man in papar vuandum khiah mawi ruai ai, papar vuan khai sikhiam kul ngai i. Ciabang pahin Jesuh Khrih ai ruangpum, pawlpui songah kut, ke, lu, mit le hnar te pawl khiah amahte ihnak bangin phathnemhnak nai ṭeen i. Sangtu pawl khai kin cohnak talent pakhat ṭeen nai sio ising.

1. Rauhla Lehsawng
Rauhla lehsawng (Spiritual Gift) tihnak khiah Grik pon in “charismata” ti i ai “Ciang Rauhla man ai kin ngahhnak thil tibenhnak te” rel hiamhnak i. Ciami Rauhla lehsawng kin cohnak te khiah bangdun thil lo i. Ikhalselai kin cohnak ṭeen khiah rinsantlak le felniu in per ṭeen tuh khiah thupui ngai i. Ciami te komkhawmin kin pertlang fangin Khrih ai ruangpum, pawlpui khangsohnak tuh hlawm dun ṭeen ising tihnak i.
Paul in, “Lai Cianghlim in, “A sangber hmunah hleng fangin, salpomhnak tampui khiah koih pui ai, Minung hnenah lehsawng pe i,” tihnak khiah khim i” ti’n ti i (Efi. 4:8). He hmun ah Paul in Saam 68 song ai langhnak i. Israel mi te Zion tlang tihnak Jerusalem khuapui ah thukham kuang lutpui fangin thangphathnak a bawntlanghnak khiah mithla ah cuang ruai i. Ciabangpah in Paul in Jesuh Khrih khai van ah kaiso i, tikhiah lar ruai hiamhnak i. Jesuh Khrih khiah nehhnak co ai Pathian kiahhan lam ah to i. A ralpa Satan lam teltute vumah nehhnak co ai ralpomhnak tuartu te khiah konghoi i (Efi. 1:20-22; Kol. 2:15).

Pawlpui tungding thilhnak ca tuh i. Hnuahluun 2:33 songah Piter in, “Bawipa Pathian in a kiahhan lam kutin cawisang imanin ciami Bawipa in thukham thawn pehzom dun in Rauhla Cianghlim khiah Pa hnenin dong ngah zo i le, ning ling ninghmu le ning zahnak thupha hmuah burh zo i” ti’n rel i. Cen, Paul ai relbethnak ‘hleng’ a tifangin ‘a hmasaberah laivum hmun niam ber hmunah hleng’ tihnak i. Cen, “Van ah kai i,” tihnak khiah zai i? a tihnak khiah, a hmasaber ah lailung a niamhnak hmun ber ah hleng i, tihnak i.

2. Rauhla Lehsawng hin caang
Paul in, “Lehsawng hin caang um khal selai Ciang Rauhla pakhat lek ian nai ising” ti’n 1 Korin 12:4 songah rel i. Galati 5:22-23 ai Rauhla lehsawng hin 9 khai mi hrek in thupui roh in rel i. Mi hrek in Rauhla lehsawng a veksen kom in hin 20 vum um i, ti i. Ikhalselai Efisa 4:11-12 songah Paul in a thupuingai Rauhla lehsawng hin 5 thu ian relhnak um i. Ciamite khiah: (a) Hnuahluun te, (b) Profet te, (c) Thuthangpha phuangtu te, (d) Pastor te, le (e) Zirhtu te i.

Hnuahluun te khiah naper tuh ruaihnak te, a hlathnak te pawl i. Khrihfa te khiah Jesuh Khrih ai tettikhaantu ising le hnuahluun ti’n kin ko tuhhnak i. Ikhalselai Baibal songah ‘Hnuahluun’ tifangin Bawi Jesuh ai hnuahluun 12 khiah relnuamhnak i (Joh. 17:18; 20:21). Cia zolo Mattius, Paul, Jesuh naupa Jeim le a dang hnuahluun pahnih khat te khaih ‘Hnuahluun’ ti’n ko hnak i. A tlangpui thu in Bawi Jesuh a mit in a hmu roritu te khiah ‘Hnuahluun’ tiin ko i (Hnuahluun 1:21; 10:40-41; 1 Kor. 9:1; 15:8-9). Ciatin ilekhaw tunnia ah ‘hnuahluun’ um lo hang i, ti’n lang thil ising.
(b) Profet te (Prophets)
Tunnia ‘Profet’ um lai awm? tiin thuzawt tuh um thai i. “Profet” tihnak te khiah Pathian hnen ai a thu pehnak ponkam dongtu te i. “Bawipa in ti i” tiin mipui hnenah phuang salawntu te i. Thudik le a ihnak angina rel le phuangtu te i (Jere. 23:16-23). A dang deuhin rel le singkhaw “Profet” te khiah Pathian ai-awh in mipui hnenah pongtu “Pathian ai palai” te i.

Hnuahluun benfang Profet thu nganhnak hmu thil ising (Efi. 2:20; 3:5). Profet te ai naper khiah ben sio zo ihang. Pawlpui hampanhnak khai kho ngai in ding zo ihang. Tunnia ah Profet um nawn lo hang, tin ti zo ising. Ikhaiselai tunnia Pawl hrekkhat ah hlanlai Thukham Hlun san ai “Profet” te bangai a cangtu um thahthah de i. Cia te pawl in mipui veksen ca tuh in pong le rel de lo ai amah te thawn a nong ai umtute i lo lekhaw amah te in a tawng nuamhnak pawlpui le mibur tlawmniu ca lek rel le phuang de i.

Ikhalselai “Evangelist” tihnak laifang khiah Thukham Thar song hmun thum lekah hmu tuh um i (Hnuahluun 21:8; 2 Tim. 4:5). Tunnia ai Thuthangpha phuangtu i lo lekhaw Evangelist tampui um i. Thuthangpha phuangtu kin ti fangin hin hnih in khan thil i. A pakhathnak tu ramthar ah fai ai a nunhnak pe in Pathian thu phuangtu te i. Cia te khiah “Missionary” tin khai ko de ising. A dang pakhat tu khangphawkhnak napertu te i. Cia te tu a nunhnak pe in napertu i lo napui ai a kulhnak hmun ah zirhhnak le phuanghnak ceem in fehpuitu te i. Cia pawl khiah “Evangelist” tiin ko ising. Thuthangpha phuangtu tu Pathian thu lek reltu tuh i le, Doctrine lam le mipui khandunhnak, khekdunhnak tuh lam thu reltu tuh i lo i. Hemi te hin hnih khiah Paul in Efisa songah Thuthangpha phuangtu tiin kohnak te i. Tunnia tian hmang hlen lai ising.
(d) Pastor te (Pastors)
Mihrek in Pastor khiah Thuthangpha phuangtu, Zirhtu saya tiin ko de i. Thuthangpha phuangtuh khiah Pastor ai naper pakhat i. Ikhalselai Pastor ai pervo khiah thuthangpha phuang lek i lo ai pawlpui songah naper dang khai tampui um bial, nai bial i. Pawlpui song ai daan umhnak bangin konghoihnak, tinimhnak, nupa kutsih sahhnak, Bawipa zanfak pehnak, nun cuukhnak, thuso dunhnak, konghoihnak, Pathian thu zirhhnak te khaih Pastor naper i.

(e) Zirhtu te (Teachers)
Zirhtu te khiah Baibal tlawng ah ituseh, thuzirhhnak le relkhawm hmun te ah zirhtu tuh in a hlaice in pervo pehnak te i.

Hemi zirhtu te khiah Pathian ponkam bangin ituseh, Khristian nun daan tuh ituseh, taksa le rauhla lam thu hin caang hmangin sangtute hnenah zirh zianzotu te i. Pawlpui songah zirh dunhnak naituh khaih thupui ngai ile zirhtu dinhmun khai thupui ngai i. Pawlpui songah zirhtute in zirhhnak nai tio tuh khiah thupui ngai i.
Thufunhnak
A vumai thu te pawl khiah Rauhla lehsawng te i. Pathian ai rilhnak minung te hnenah a hlaice in ciami lehsawng te pe i. Ciami lehsawng songlawi khiah Pathian hnenah ngen tuh in Paul in kin zirh I (1 Kor. 12:3). Pawlpui tihnak khiah zirhdunhnak hmun pakhat iman in thu zirh dun le cuuk dun hnak khiah thupui ngai ruat in nai tio selai pha i. A puitling sangtu kin cang thilhnak tuh in cawm dun kul ising. Ciatin kin puitling ai kin khang sio fang in Bawipa Jesuh ai pervo pehnak pawlpui naper te khiah per ben tuh ising.
Rauhla lehsawng hin cang a pehnak ai tumhnak khiah pawlpui songah naper thilhnak tuh ca i. Jesuh Khrih ai ruangpum pawlpui tungdinghnak ca le khangso ruai tuh in pervo nai ṭeen ising. Pastor in a pervo ling kul i. Konghoitu te in khai mah le pervo ṭeen lingin per kul i. Rauhla lehsawng kin cohnak ṭeen khiah fel le pha ngaiin hmang tlang tuh ising. Pawlpui song umtu sangtu te inkhai mah le pervo naihnak khiah fel ngaiin per kul ve ising. Pawlpui tihnak khiah sangtu te hmunkhat ah umkhawmhnak iman in ciami pawlpui khangsohnak tuh khiah kinmah pervo ṭeen fel ngaiin per tlang kin kul i. Ciatin kin per thil hnak tuhin Rauhla lehsawng kin pe ṭeen i. Ciami lehsawnghmangin Pathian thuthangpha zaihnak tuh in Pathian na per ṭeen nga sing. Heteng ah ‘naper’ (ministry) khiah Grik ponin ‘diakonia’ ti ile Pastor ca lek i lo i. Sangtu kin veksen ca ai rel hiamhnak i. Pathian rilhnak sangtu kin veksen ca tuh i.

Rauhla lehsawng tihnak te pawl kin sik fangin naper tuhhnak lam lolek i. Mah ca ai phathnemhnak tel bul lo i. Mi pakhat lek khangsohnak ca khai i lo i. Khrih ai pawlpui khangso thiltuhhnak le thuthangpha zaihnak ca tuh i. Pathian ram zaihnak ca tuh i. Paul in, “A pha lam ai hnempuihnak um thaihnak tuhin, Ciang Rauhla khiah mi hmuahhmuah vumah lar ngai in kin pezo ihang” ti i (1 Kor. 12:7).
