Chinese (traditional)For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word. Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Hear, my son, and accept my words,
that the years of your life may be many. For nothing will be impossible with God. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one. Do not toil to acquire wealth;
be discerning enough to desist. See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me? With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love. Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, Return from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.’ But they did not hear or pay attention to me, declares the Lord. A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for adversity. Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses. Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.” For you are my rock and my fortress;
and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me. The Lord makes poor and makes rich;
he brings low and he exalts. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. God settles the solitary in a home;
he leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but the rebellious dwell in a parched land. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Therefore you are great, O Lord God. For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth. But if a wicked person turns away from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is just and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you. The ransom of a man's life is his wealth,
but a poor man hears no threat. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you today, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”
