Ha ka jingthoh kaba la ai kyrteng “How to Be Thankful in All Things” (Kumno ba ngin long kiba ainguh ha kiei kiei baroh), U Billy Graham u thoh kumne, “Ingratitude is a sin, just as surely as is lying or stealing or immorality or any other sin condemned by the Bible.” (Ka jingbym sngewnguh ka dei ka pop, kumjuh hi kum kaba thok ne kaba tuh ne kaba im awria bad kiwei kiwei de ki pop kiba la pynrem ha ka bible). U Billy Graham u shim sa na ka Bible na ka shithi sha ki Nong Rom, (Rom 1:21) ki kyntien kiba ong kumne, “Namar haba ki la tip ia U Blei, kim shym la pyndon burom ia U kum U Blei, lymne kim shym la ainguh: hynrei ki la man thala noh ha ki jingpyrkhat jong ki kumta la pynsynnia tiaw ia ka dohnud bieit jong ki.” Nangta u thoh shuh shuh, “Nothing turns us into bitter, selfish, dissatisfied people more quickly than an ungrateful heart. And nothing will do more to restore contentment and the joy of our salvation than a true spirit of thankfulness.” (Ym don kaba lah ban pynkylla kloi ia ngi ban pynlong ia ngi kiba dom, kiba hangamei, ki briew ki bym hun ha kaei kaei ban ia ka dohnud ka bym sngewnguh. Bad ym don kaba kham palat ban wanrah kloi ia ka mynsiem kaba suk bad ka jingkmen jong ka jingpynim ban ia ka mynsiem kaba ainguh bad sngewnguh). Kynmaw haba ngi long ki bym sngewnguh ngi leh pop, bad kata ka mynsiem ka bym sngewnguh kan ialam ia ngi sha ka jingim kaba thala, kaba ha nga mei, hynrei haba ngi nang ban sngewnguh ha kiei kiei dei hangta ba ngin ioh ia ka jinghun ha ka mynsiem.
Jingduwai: - “Ah U Blei, weng na nga ia ka mynsiem jong ka jingbym sngewnguh, bad ai hapoh jong nga ia ka jinglong ban sngewnguh ia Me ha ki por bad jingjia baroh.” - Amen
