Chinese (traditional)Do not say,
“Why were the former days better than these?”
For you do not inquire wisely concerning this. Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls—
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will joy in the God of my salvation. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life. Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock. A man’s heart plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps. With all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love. Woe to him who strives with his Maker!
Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth!
Shall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’
Or shall your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’? For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” I spread out my hands to You;
My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one. Even to your old age, I am He,
And even to gray hairs I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you. Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished,
But he who gathers by labor will increase. For with God nothing will be impossible. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” The blessing of the Lord makes one rich,
And He adds no sorrow with it. Therefore You are great, O Lord God. For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears. And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him,
To all who call upon Him in truth. For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake. And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
He is the King of glory. Selah Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
But counselors of peace have joy. The Lord is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.Next verse!With image
