Chinese (traditional)But speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen. My salvation and my honor is with God.
The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and we have given you of your own. I cried to him with my mouth.
He was extolled with my tongue. But Yahweh said to Samuel, “Don’t look on his face, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for I don’t see as man sees. For man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart.” For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. You are my hiding place and my shield.
I hope in your word. For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God. But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows. My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord.
Apart from you I have no good thing.” Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go. Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
but Yahweh weighs the hearts. Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.” But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.” For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends. Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him.
Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way,
because of the man who makes wicked plots happen. Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. The entrance of your words gives light.
It gives understanding to the simple. The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. In the multitude of my thoughts within me,
your comforts delight my soul. He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things? He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee, saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again? He was despised
and rejected by men,
a man of suffering
and acquainted with disease.
He was despised as one from whom men hide their face;
and we didn’t respect him. But he was pierced for our transgressions.
He was crushed for our iniquities.
The punishment that brought our peace was on him;
and by his wounds we are healed. In God, I praise his word.
In God, I put my trust.
I will not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me? For Yahweh is our judge.
Yahweh is our lawgiver.
Yahweh is our king.
He will save us. All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins. “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.”Next verse!With image
