Chinese (traditional)For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed,
and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord
and their vindication from me, declares the Lord. I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope. And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother. For so the Lord has commanded us, saying,
‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles,
that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ For the word of the Lord is upright,
and all his work is done in faithfulness. As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down,
but a good word makes him glad. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands! Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you today, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor;
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to those who are bound. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. Do not toil to acquire wealth;
be discerning enough to desist. And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. Iron sharpens iron,
and one man sharpens another. Seek good, and not evil,
that you may live;
and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you,
as you have said. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in his ways! No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation. Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
but those who plan peace have joy. Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”Next verse!With image
