Chinese (traditional)I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him. People with integrity walk safely,
but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed. He sat down, called the twelve disciples over to him, and said, “Whoever wants to be first must take last place and be the servant of everyone else.” We love each other because he loved us first. He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west. Glory to God in highest heaven,
and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased. And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child. Let your favor shine on your servant.
In your unfailing love, rescue me. You must serve only the Lord your God. If you do, I will bless you with food and water, and I will protect you from illness. Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. Hold firmly to the word of life. O Lord, I will honor and praise your name,
for you are my God.
You do such wonderful things!
You planned them long ago,
and now you have accomplished them. In the blink of an eye wealth disappears,
for it will sprout wings
and fly away like an eagle. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy.
For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.” The Lord will stay with you as long as you stay with him! Whenever you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you. For the Lord loves justice,
and he will never abandon the godly.
He will keep them safe forever,
but the children of the wicked will die. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
Then you will have healing for your body
and strength for your bones. But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever. Don’t be concerned for your own good but for the good of others. Soon I will die, going the way of everything on earth. Deep in your hearts you know that every promise of the Lord your God has come true. Not a single one has failed! How much better to get wisdom than gold,
and good judgment than silver! But for us,
There is one God, the Father,
by whom all things were created,
and for whom we live.
And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ,
through whom all things were created,
and through whom we live. So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality. Yes, God will bless us,
and people all over the world will fear him. Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. When you go through deep waters,
I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
you will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
you will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume you.Next verse!With image
