Chinese (traditional)All those who keep his commandments abide in him,
and he abides in them.
And the proof that he abides in us
is the Spirit that he has given us. Faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the conviction about things that cannot be seen. The Lord redeems the lives of those who serve him;
no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him. May the Lord cause your love to increase and overflow for one another and for everyone else, just as our love does for you. Therefore, take care to live as intelligent people, and do not be like those who are senseless. Make the most of the present time, for this is a wicked age. No one should seek his own advantage in preference to that of his neighbor. But to those of you who are listening to me, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. Put on the armor of God so that you will be able to stand firm against the deceit of the devil. You are a place of refuge for me;
you preserve me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah Although we are human beings, we do not engage in battle according to human standards. One who forgives a misdeed fosters friendship,
but he who divulges it separates good friends. God saved us and called us to a life of holiness, not because of our works but according to his own purpose and the grace that has been bestowed upon us in Christ Jesus from all eternity. Blessed are those who trust in the Lord
and whose hope is the Lord.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
that spreads out its roots to the stream.
When the heat comes, it does not fear;
its leaves stay green.
It is not concerned in a year of drought,
and it never fails to bear fruit. Rejoice always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. He has satisfied the thirsty
and filled the hungry with good things. Anyone who leads an honorable life walks in safety,
but whoever pursues wicked ways will be found out. For sin is no longer to have any power over you, since you are not under the Law but under grace. Indeed, creation itself eagerly awaits the revelation of the children of God. Only goodness and kindness will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever and ever. Guide my steps in accord with your word
and never let evil triumph over me. For everyone born of God
conquers the world.
And the victory that conquers the world
is our faith. For we brought nothing into this world, and we can take nothing out. If we have food and clothing, let us be content with these. A wise man will heed commandments,
but a babbling fool will come to grief. The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in kindness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then the one who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you. My son, do not ignore the Lord’s discipline
or refuse to accept his rebuke.
For the Lord disciplines those whom he loves,
just as a father chastises a beloved son. The Spirit himself bears witness with our Spirit that we are children of God. Let your face shine upon your servant;
save me in your kindness. You did not choose me.
Rather, I chose you.
And I appointed you
to go out and bear fruit,
fruit that will remain,
so that the Father may give you
whatever you ask him in my name. As a result, you are no longer strangers and foreigners. Rather, you are fellow citizens of the saints and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. To him all the Prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins through his name. Put on the armor of God so that you will be able to stand firm against the deceit of the devil.Next verse!With image
