Chinese (traditional)What is desired in a man is steadfast love,
and a poor man is better than a liar. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
who seek him with their whole heart. So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” But godliness with contentment is great gain. Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. “All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin! A gentle tongue is a tree of life,
but perverseness in it breaks the spirit. Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually! For a day in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of wickedness. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. O God, you are my God;
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land
where there is no water. Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord, which I am commanding you today for your good? Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God. The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom,
and humility comes before honor. Your testimonies are my heritage forever,
for they are the joy of my heart. He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”Next verse!With image
