Chinese (traditional)For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says,
‘The stone that you builders rejected
has now become the cornerstone.’ Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for him. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Direct your children onto the right path,
and when they are older, they will not leave it. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. For I cried out to him for help,
praising him as I spoke. But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. I’m torn between two desires: I long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me. But for your sakes, it is better that I continue to live. Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly. But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of his great patience with even the worst sinners. Then others will realize that they, too, can believe in him and receive eternal life. The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you. Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom. I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life. But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) The Lord is like a father to his children,
tender and compassionate to those who fear him. The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is a wonderful teacher,
and he gives the farmer great wisdom. Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. My victory and honor come from God alone.
He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. For a child is born to us,
a son is given to us.
The government will rest on his shoulders.
And he will be called:
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Your word is a lamp to guide my feet
and a light for my path. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help. I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.Next verse!With image
