Chinese (traditional)But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?” And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever. Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. All who fear the Lord will hate evil.
Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance,
corruption and perverse speech. Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him. Serve only the Lord your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him. Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.” That is why he is the one who mediates a new covenant between God and people, so that all who are called can receive the eternal inheritance God has promised them. For Christ died to set them free from the penalty of the sins they had committed under that first covenant. Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams. One should be kind to a fainting friend,
but you accuse me without any fear of the Almighty. So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls. Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Remember, O Lord, your compassion and unfailing love,
which you have shown from long ages past.
Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth.
Remember me in the light of your unfailing love,
for you are merciful, O Lord. I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. Give your burdens to the Lord,
and he will take care of you.
He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. And do everything with love. Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous. “Listen to me and make up your minds to honor my name,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “or I will bring a terrible curse against you. I will curse even the blessings you receive. Indeed, I have already cursed them, because you have not taken my warning to heart.” You haven’t done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy. And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right! Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent;
with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent. You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people. And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God. With their words, the godless destroy their friends,
but knowledge will rescue the righteous. Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good. But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love. But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.”Next verse!With image
