Chinese (traditional)I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. How abundant are the good things
that you have stored up for those who fear you,
that you bestow in the sight of all,
on those who take refuge in you. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. My son, keep your father’s command
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. He who finds a wife finds what is good
and receives favor from the Lord. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses 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 drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Blessings crown the head of the righteous,
but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked. For the Lord loves the just
and will not forsake his faithful ones.
Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed;
the offspring of the wicked will perish. They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers. Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life,
but whoever ignores correction leads others astray. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,
for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you peace and prosperity. So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off. For I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. The way of the Lord is a refuge for the blameless,
but it is the ruin of those who do evil. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak. Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber. To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Who is he, this King of glory?
The Lord Almighty—
he is the King of glory.
