Chinese (traditional)All day long he craves for more,
but the righteous give without sparing. I know that my redeemer lives,
and that in the end he will stand on the earth. Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. There is a way that appears to be right,
but in the end it leads to death. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. I spread out my hands to you;
I thirst for you like a parched land. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God. He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Gracious words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Seek good, not evil,
that you may live.
Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you,
just as you say he is. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us. He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God. Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers,
and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess. How abundant are the good things
that you have stored up for those who fear you,
that you bestow in the sight of all,
on those who take refuge in you. Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes. Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Who is a God like you,
who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
of the remnant of his inheritance?
You do not stay angry forever
but delight to show mercy. I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight. Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.Next verse!With image
