Chinese (traditional)The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.” But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. Jesus replied, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.” But you, O Lord, are a shield around me;
you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. It was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep his promise. Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor;
only fools insist on quarreling. Your laws are my treasure;
they are my heart’s delight. For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen. Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant. Pride leads to disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me.
He freed me from all my fears. So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming. Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. So God created human beings in his own image.
In the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours. But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
and he will stand upon the earth at last. So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. ‘I am the Lord your God,’ I told them. ‘Follow my decrees, pay attention to my regulations, and keep my Sabbath days holy, for they are a sign to remind you that I am the Lord your God.’ Hiding hatred makes you a liar;
slandering others makes you a fool. So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom. Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” Pride leads to conflict;
those who take advice are wise. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses. But I trust in your unfailing love.
I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
I will sing to the Lord
because he is good to me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. Deceit fills hearts that are plotting evil;
joy fills hearts that are planning peace! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.Next verse!With image
