Chinese (traditional)Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. And Jesus said to him, “Go, for your faith has healed you.” Instantly the man could see, and he followed Jesus down the road. For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people. And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God. That is why I can never stop praising you;
I declare your glory all day long. Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. In that wonderful day you will sing:
“Thank the Lord! Praise his name!
Tell the nations what he has done.
Let them know how mighty he is!” If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear. What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord,
whose people he has chosen as his inheritance. Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God. But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say,
‘People do not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Stay on the path that the Lord your God has commanded you to follow. Then you will live long and prosperous lives in the land you are about to enter and occupy. So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Godliness makes a nation great,
but sin is a disgrace to any people. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. How wonderful and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in harmony! There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority. Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” Pride ends in humiliation,
while humility brings honor. But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” Sing praises to God and to his name!
Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds.
His name is the Lord—
rejoice in his presence!
Father to the fatherless, defender of widows—
this is God, whose dwelling is holy. Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. As I learn your righteous regulations,
I will thank you by living as I should! I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. He is the one all the prophets testified about, saying that everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name. Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit.Next verse!With image
