Chinese (traditional)And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. People with understanding control their anger;
a hot temper shows great foolishness. And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment. All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. For you are my hiding place;
you protect me from trouble.
You surround me with songs of victory. But blessed are those who trust in the Lord
and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.
They are like trees planted along a riverbank,
with roots that reach deep into the water.
Such trees are not bothered by the heat
or worried by long months of drought.
Their leaves stay green,
and they never stop producing fruit. No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money. For he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. All who fear the Lord will hate evil.
Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance,
corruption and perverse speech. And don’t let us yield to temptation,
but rescue us from the evil one. Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come. Never let loyalty and kindness leave you!
Tie them around your neck as a reminder.
Write them deep within your heart.
Then you will find favor with both God and people,
and you will earn a good reputation. When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father. And Nehemiah continued, “Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!” Guide my steps by your word,
so I will not be overcome by evil. And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom.
Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment. If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you. Search for the Lord and for his strength;
continually seek him. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. And forgive us our sins,
as we have forgiven those who sin against us. The Lord is compassionate and merciful,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. I have not departed from his commands,
but have treasured his words more than daily food. So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls. Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit. He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be shaken. Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them. Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.”Next verse!With image
