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 as you come to know him. O how abundant is your goodness
that you have laid up for those who fear you,
and accomplished for those who take refuge in you,
in the sight of everyone! Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back. My child, keep your father's commandment,
and do not forsake your mother's teaching. If we say that we have fellowship with him while we are walking in darkness, we lie and do not do what is true. He who finds a wife finds a good thing,
and obtains favor from the Lord. Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. For the Lord loves justice;
he will not forsake his faithful ones.
The righteous shall be kept safe forever,
but the children of the wicked shall be cut off. All these were constantly devoting themselves to prayer, together with certain women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as his brothers. Who is wise and understanding among you? Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of wisdom. Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,
but one who rejects a rebuke goes astray. You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. My child, do not forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments;
for length of days and years of life
and abundant welfare they will give you. Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off. For I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance. The way of the Lord is a stronghold for the upright,
but destruction for evildoers. For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain. About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart. He gives power to the faint,
and strengthens the powerless. Speak out for those who cannot speak,
for the rights of all the destitute. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit. And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in 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 hills—
from where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.
