Chinese (traditional)Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. The reward for humility and fear of the Lord
is riches and honor and life. My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all the day. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
but whoever restrains his lips is prudent. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. Judge not, that you be not judged. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness,
who publishes salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” For you are my rock and my fortress;
and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you. For “Whoever desires to love life
and see good days,
let him keep his tongue from evil
and his lips from speaking deceit;
let him turn away from evil and do good;
let him seek peace and pursue it.” You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your right hand supported me,
and your gentleness made me great.
You gave a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip. With my whole heart I seek you;
let me not wander from your commandments! Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. But you, O Lord, reign forever;
your throne endures to all generations. He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
