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 day long. 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 unexpected hour. One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
and one whose temper is controlled than one who captures a city. Those who say, “I love God,” and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen. I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ You want something and do not have it; so you commit murder. And you covet something and cannot obtain it; so you engage in disputes and conflicts. You do not have, because you do not ask. In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. 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 do not have love, I am nothing. When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
but the prudent are restrained in speech. Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God. For all of us make many mistakes. Anyone who makes no mistakes in speaking is perfect, able to keep the whole body in check with a bridle. From there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find him if you search after him with all your heart and soul. Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power 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, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of the messenger who announces peace,
who brings good news,
who announces salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” You are indeed my rock and my fortress;
for your name's sake lead me and guide me. Very truly, I tell you, whoever receives one whom I send receives me; and whoever receives me receives him 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
“Those who desire life
and desire to see good days,
let them keep their tongues from evil
and their lips from speaking deceit;
let them turn away from evil and do good;
let them seek peace and pursue it.” You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your right hand has supported me;
your help has made me great.
You gave me a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip. With my whole heart I seek you;
do not let me stray from your commandments. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. But you, O Lord, reign forever;
your throne endures to all generations. He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else? Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.Next verse!With image
