Chinese (traditional)I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation to know him. How great is your goodness, O Lord,
which you have stored up for those who fear you
and which you bestow on those who take refuge in you,
in the presence of all the people. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap. The measure that you use for others will be used to measure you. Observe your father’s command, my son,
and do not reject your mother’s teaching. If we claim that we have fellowship with him
while we continue to live in darkness,
we are lying and do not live in the truth. One who finds a wife finds happiness
and receives favor from the Lord. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Even should my heart and my flesh fail,
God is the rock of my heart
and my portion forever. Therefore, heed my words. Do not be concerned about your life and what you will have to eat or drink, or about your body and what you will wear. Surely life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Blessings are showered on the head of the righteous,
but sorrow will cover the face of the wicked. For the Lord loves the just,
and he will not forsake his faithful ones.
Those who follow evil paths will be destroyed,
and the children of the wicked will be cut off. All of these were constantly engaged in prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. Who among you is wise and understanding? Prove by your good life that your works are done with the humility that comes from wisdom. Whoever heeds admonition is on the path to life,
but anyone who rejects correction goes astray. You are the light of the world. A city built upon a mountain cannot be hidden. My son, do not forget my teaching,
but cherish my commandments in your heart,
for they will bring you length of days,
more years of life, and an abundance of prosperity. Then, after completing their fasting and prayer, they laid their hands on them and sent them off. For I know that through your prayers and with the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will result in deliverance for me. The way of the Lord is a stronghold for the upright,
but destruction for evildoers. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. When you search for me, you will find me. When you seek me with all your heart. He gives strength to the weary
and new vigor to those who are powerless. Speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves,
and defend the rights of the destitute. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit. And my God will fully supply all your needs out of the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. I lift up my eyes to the mountains;
from where will I receive help?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. He will not permit your foot to stumble;
he who guards you will not fall asleep. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. To him all the Prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins through his name.
