Chinese (traditional)But those 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. As God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, 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 will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? For whoever finds me finds life
and obtains favor from the Lord. The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, 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 must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of everyone of you for one another is increasing. But ask in faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. You shall worship the Lord your God, and I 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 power. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. But I will sing of your might;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been a fortress for me
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 you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. The Lord loves those who hate evil;
he guards the lives of his faithful;
he rescues them from the hand of the wicked. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. By this everyone 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; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or 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,
rescue the oppressed,
defend the orphan,
plead for the widow. Do all things without murmuring and arguing, so that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine like stars in the world. It is by your holding fast to the word of life. Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean;
remove the evil of your doings
from before my eyes;
cease to do evil. There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are 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 worry 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. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.Next verse!With image
