Chinese (traditional)But they who wait for the Lord
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint. Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? For whoever finds me finds life
and obtains favor from the Lord. The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. You shall serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. But I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me a fortress
and a refuge in the day of my distress. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. O you who love the Lord, hate evil!
He preserves the lives of his saints;
he delivers them from the hand of the wicked. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful. Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Learn to do good;
seek justice,
correct oppression;
bring justice to the fatherless,
plead the widow's cause. Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life. Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean;
remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes;
cease to do evil. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. We love because he first loved us. O Lord, you are my God;
I will exalt you; I will praise your name,
for you have done wonderful things,
plans formed of old, faithful and sure. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name. And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.Next verse!With image
