Chinese (traditional)Asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. How great is the goodness
you have stored up for those who fear you.
You lavish it on those who come to you for protection,
blessing them before the watching world. Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back. My son, obey your father’s commands,
and don’t neglect your mother’s instruction. So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. The man who finds a wife finds a treasure,
and he receives favor from the Lord. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it. My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
but God remains the strength of my heart;
he is mine forever. That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? The godly are showered with blessings;
the words of the wicked conceal violent intentions. For the Lord loves justice,
and he will never abandon the godly.
He will keep them safe forever,
but the children of the wicked will die. They all met together and were constantly united in prayer, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, several other women, and the brothers of Jesus. If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom. People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life,
but those who ignore correction will go astray. You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. My child, never forget the things I have taught you.
Store my commands in your heart.
If you do this, you will live many years,
and your life will be satisfying. So after more fasting and prayer, the men laid their hands on them and sent them on their way. For I know that as you pray for me and the Spirit of Jesus Christ helps me, this will lead to my deliverance. The way of the Lord is a stronghold to those with integrity,
but it destroys the wicked. For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better. Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless. Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves;
ensure justice for those being crushed. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ. I look up to the mountains—
does my help come from there?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth! May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. He will not let you stumble;
the one who watches over you will not slumber. Now all glory to God our Father forever and ever! Amen. He is the one all the prophets testified about, saying that everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name. But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.Next verse!With image
