Chinese (traditional)The Lord God is my strength;
he makes my feet as swift as those of a deer
and enables me to tread on the heights. And if we know that he hears us
in regard to whatever we ask him,
we may be sure
that all we ask of him will be ours. Train a child in the way he should go,
and he will not deviate from it, even in old age. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. For who is God except the Lord?
Who is a rock aside from our God? And the shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as they had been told. While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. She will give birth to a son, and you shall name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. Remember this, my beloved brethren: everyone should be quick to listen but slow to speak and slow to anger. The tongue of the just man is like pure silver;
the heart of the wicked is without worth. Bear with one another, and forgive one another if anyone has reason to be offended with another. You must forgive just as the Lord has forgiven you. There is no holy one like the Lord,
there is none beside you,
nor is there a rock like our God. Dear children,
let us love not in word or speech
but in deed and truth. For since death came into the world through a man, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a man. You shall keep these things that I command you today in your heart. Teach them to your children. You shall talk of them when you are sitting in your home, and when you are walking along the way, and when you lie down and when you rise up. One person may consider one day to be more sacred than another, while another may judge all days to be alike. Let everyone be convinced in his own beliefs. And now, brethren, I want to remind you of the gospel I proclaimed to you, which you received and in which you stand firm. Through it you are also being saved, provided that you are holding fast to what I proclaimed to you. If not, then you have believed in vain. Can a woman forget the infant at her breast;
or feel no compassion for the child of her womb?
Even should she forget,
I will never forget you.
Behold, I have inscribed your name
on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before my eyes. At the appointed time, while we were still helpless, Christ died for the ungodly. Examine me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and understand my thoughts.
See if I follow an evil way,
and guide me on the way to eternity. Come to me, all you who are weary and overburdened, and I will give you rest. That is why you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, and they devote themselves to this service. When I am terrified,
I place my trust in you. For the love of Christ urges us forward, once we conclude that one has died for all, and therefore all have died. And he died for all, so that those who live might no longer live for themselves, but for him who for their sakes died and was raised to life. The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law. Because in my eyes you are precious,
because you are honored and I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you
and nations in return for your life. Ever since the creation of the world the invisible attributes of God’s eternal power and divine nature have been clearly understood and perceived through the things he has made. Therefore, the conduct of these people is inexcusable. And let the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, because it was for this that you were called together in one body. Always be thankful. Call to me and I will answer you and reveal to you great and mysterious secrets about which you are unaware. To these God chose to make known how rich is the priceless glory that this mystery brings to the Gentiles—Christ in you, your hope of glory. Let us never grow weary in doing what is right, for if we do not give up, we will reap our harvest in due time. To him all the Prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins through his name.
