Chinese (traditional)“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says Yahweh, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.” That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love. Yahweh will keep you from all evil.
He will keep your soul.
Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in,
from this time forward, and forever more. In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another. Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good. Abstain from every form of evil. I will hurry, and not delay,
to obey your commandments. Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus. This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. Rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer. I will never forget your precepts,
for with them, you have revived me. Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven. The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh
is wealth, honor, and life. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past,
like a watch in the night. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
Your rod and your staff,
they comfort me. Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment. Before the mountains were born,
before you had formed the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. For it is written,
“‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow.
Every tongue will confess to God.’” The heavens declare the glory of God.
The expanse shows his handiwork.
Day after day they pour out speech,
and night after night they display knowledge. No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us. Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. And keep the instruction of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn yourself. Knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. The integrity of the upright shall guide them,
but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever. This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success. May he grant you your heart’s desire,
and fulfill all your counsel. All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins. He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper,
but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.Next verse!With image
