Chinese (traditional)What then? Should we sin because we are not under the Law but under grace? Of course not! For I, the Lord, am your God
and I grasp your right hand.
It is I who say to you,
Do not fear; I will help you. Keep falsehood and lying far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but simply provide me with the food that I need. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there in their midst. The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord shine his face upon you and be gracious to you.
The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace. O Lord, do not withhold your mercy from me;
may your kindness and your truth keep me safe forever. Do the things that you have learned, received, and heard from me and that you saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. I urge you, brethren, to watch out for those who incite dissensions and obstacles in opposition to the teaching that you have learned. Take care to avoid them. A man is haughty until disaster overtakes him,
but humility comes before honors. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for a life of good works that God had prepared for us to do. So shall my word be
that issues forth from my mouth.
It will not return to me unfulfilled,
but it will accomplish my purpose
and achieve what I sent it forth to do. The tongue has the power over life and death;
those who cherish it will enjoy its fruits. Therefore, you have no excuse, whoever you may be, when you pass judgment on others. For in judging others you condemn yourself, since you are doing the same things. Keep alert; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. The beginning of wisdom is: acquire wisdom,
and no matter what the cost, acquire understanding. Then Jesus said to those Jews who did believe in him,
“If you remain faithful to my word,
you will truly be my disciples.
You will know the truth,
and the truth will set you free.” What god can compare with you,
the God who takes away guilt
and forgives the transgressions
of the remnant of your people?
You will not allow your anger to fester forever,
for your delight is in bestowing mercy. Blessed be the Lord, day after day,
the God of our salvation, who carries our burden. Selah Beloved,
do not trust every spirit,
but test the spirits
to see whether they are from God.
For many false prophets
have gone out into the world. He replied, “What is impossible for men is possible for God.” How can a young man lead a spotless life?
By living according to your word. But as for you, man of God, you must shun all this. Rather, pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, fortitude, and gentleness. His divine power has bestowed on us everything that is necessary for life and for devotion through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue. A man’s attraction is his kindness;
it is far better to be poor than to be a liar. Behold, I am standing at the door, knocking. If one of you hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with that person and that person with me. God chose those in the world who were lowly and despised, those who count for nothing, to reduce to nothing those who were regarded as worthy, so that no one could boast in the presence of God. All day long the godless man continues to covet,
whereas the righteous man gives unsparingly. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice,
for they will have their fill. When you pray do not go on babbling endlessly as the pagans do, for they believe that they are more likely to be heard because of their many words. Hatred stirs up strife,
but love overlooks all offenses. Do not be deceived; God cannot be mocked. A person will reap only what he sows. There is no salvation in anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to men by which we can be saved.Next verse!With image
