Chinese (traditional)But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint. Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so my ways are higher than your ways
and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? For whoever finds me finds life
and receives favor from the Lord. A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart. I love you, Lord;
you are my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
and my place of safety. Dear brothers and sisters, we can’t help but thank God for you, because your faith is flourishing and your love for one another is growing. 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. You must serve only the Lord your God. If you do, I will bless you with food and water, and I will protect you from illness. A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. But as for me, I will sing about your power.
Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.
For you have been my refuge,
a place of safety when I am in distress. I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. You who love the Lord, hate evil!
He protects the lives of his godly people
and rescues them from the power of the wicked. Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples. He loves whatever is just and good;
the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law. Learn to do good.
Seek justice.
Help the oppressed.
Defend the cause of orphans.
Fight for the rights of widows. Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. Hold firmly to the word of life. Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wash yourselves and be clean!
Get your sins out of my sight.
Give up your evil ways. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. We love each other because he loved us first. O Lord, I will honor and praise your name,
for you are my God.
You do such wonderful things!
You planned them long ago,
and now you have accomplished them. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. He is the one all the prophets testified about, saying that everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful. If you return to him, he will not continue to turn his face from you.Next verse!With image
