Chinese (traditional)God, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
and makes me tread upon the heights. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him. Train children in the right way,
and when old, they will not stray. Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective. For who is God, but the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God? The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger. The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;
the mind of the wicked is of little worth. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. There is no Holy One like the Lord,
no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God. Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action. For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Some judge one day to be better than another, while others judge all days to be alike. Let all be fully convinced in their own minds. Now I would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand, through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you—unless you have come to believe in vain. Can a woman forget her nursing child,
or show no compassion for the child of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.
See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me. For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my thoughts.
See if there is any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting. Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, busy with this very thing. When I am afraid,
I put my trust in you. For the love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died. And he died for all, so that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised for them. The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. Because you are precious in my sight,
and honored, and I love you,
I give people in return for you,
nations in exchange for your life. Ever since the creation of the world his eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things he has made. So they are without excuse. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love.Next verse!With image
