Chinese (traditional)I will instruct you
and guide you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you
and keep my eyes upon you. However, to those who did accept him
and who believed in his name
he granted the power to become children of God. Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ But you, O Lord, are a shield to protect me;
you are my glory and the one who raises my head high. By faith Abraham also received the power of procreation, even though he was well past the age—and Sarah herself was barren—because he believed that the one who had made the promise would be faithful in fulfilling it. It is honorable to avoid strife,
but every fool is quarrelsome. Your statutes are my everlasting heritage;
they are the very joy of my heart. For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. Does it now appear to you that I am trying to gain the approval of human beings rather than the approval of God? Am I seeking to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. When pride is nurtured, disgrace soon follows,
but wisdom is the hallmark of the humble. In my Father’s house
there are many dwelling places.
If there were not,
would I have told you
that I am going to prepare a place for you? Let us remain firm in the confession of our hope without wavering, for the one who made the promise is trustworthy. I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he set me free from all my fears. Therefore, keep watch, for you do not know the day when your Lord is coming. Bless those who persecute you; bless them and do not curse them. We have come to know
and to believe in
the love that God has for us.
God is love,
and whoever abides in love
abides in God,
and God in him. God created mankind in his image, in the image of God he created them, male and female he created them. So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. But I know that my Redeemer lives,
and that at the end he will stand upon the dust. Hence, I advise you to be guided by the Spirit, so that you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. I, the Lord, am your God. You must obey my laws and be careful to observe my ordinances. Keep holy my Sabbaths as a sign between me and you so that you will know that I am the Lord, your God. Lying lips conceal hatred,
and anyone who slanders another is a fool. Fear not, little flock, for your Father has chosen to give you the kingdom. And God said, “Let us make man in our image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the wild animals and reptiles that crawl upon the earth.” An ignorant man causes strife by his insolence,
but wisdom is found with those who take advice. This is what love is:
not that we have loved God,
but that he loved us
and sent his Son as expiation for our sins. Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your noble confession of faith in the presence of many witnesses. As for me, I trust in your kindness;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord
because he has been good to me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,
but those who counsel peace have joy.
