Chinese (traditional)I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Those who withhold kindness from a friend
forsake the fear of the Almighty. And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you. Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.
Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications! Whatever your task, put yourselves into it, as done for the Lord and not for your masters, since you know that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward; you serve the Lord Christ. Adulterers! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. The clever see danger and hide;
but the simple go on, and suffer for it. And the world and its desire are passing away, but those who do the will of God live forever. Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good. You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
he will never permit
the righteous to be moved. For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. And whenever you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so as to show others that they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters. Beloved, we are God's children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is. And all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. Rend your hearts and not your clothing.
Return to the Lord, your God,
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love,
and relents from punishing. Depart from evil, and do good;
seek peace, and pursue it. But I do not count my life of any value to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news of God's grace. Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners. He heals the brokenhearted,
and binds up their wounds. Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete. The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom,
and humility goes before honor. For I am not ashamed of the gospel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Even fools who keep silent are considered wise;
when they close their lips, they are deemed intelligent. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Let all that you do be done in love. Deceit is in the mind of those who plan evil,
but those who counsel peace have joy. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.Next verse!With image
