Chinese (traditional)Don’t say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not ask wisely about this. For even though the fig tree doesn’t flourish,
nor fruit be in the vines,
the labor of the olive fails,
the fields yield no food,
the flocks are cut off from the fold,
and there is no herd in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in Yahweh.
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life. Arise, shine; for your light has come,
and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you! Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock. A man’s heart plans his course,
but Yahweh directs his steps. With all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love. Woe to him who strives with his Maker—
a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth!
Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’
or your work, ‘He has no hands’? For Yahweh gives wisdom.
Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good for one another and for all. Go and make disciples of all 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 commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. With my whole heart I have sought you.
Don’t let me wander from your commandments. But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit. Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.” I spread out my hands to you.
My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah. I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one. Even to old age I am he,
and even to gray hairs I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear.
Yes, I will carry, and will deliver. Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh,
since we have hoped in you. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.” Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away,
but he who gathers by hand makes it grow. For nothing spoken by God is impossible. And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins. Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth,
and he adds no trouble to it. Therefore you are great, Yahweh God. For there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Yahweh is near to all those who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth. Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf. All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. Who is this King of glory?
Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! Selah. Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,
but joy comes to the promoters of peace. He who follows after righteousness and kindness
finds life, righteousness, and honor.Next verse!With image
