Chinese (traditional)For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, in order to make her holy by cleansing her with the washing of water by the word. Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. Hear, my child, 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. No one will snatch them out of my hand. What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it out of the Father's hand. The Father and I are one. Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
be wise enough to desist. See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. For just as the sufferings of Christ are abundant for us, so also our consolation is abundant through Christ. In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I am not 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 ancestors, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, Return from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.” But they did not hear or heed me, says the Lord. A friend loves at all times,
and kinsfolk are born to share adversity. Let it be known to you therefore, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you; by this Jesus everyone who believes is set free from all those sins from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses. Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, if another member of the church sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times.” You are indeed my rock and my fortress;
for your name's sake lead me and guide me. The Lord makes poor and makes rich;
he brings low, he also exalts. Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins. God gives the desolate a home to live in;
he leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but the rebellious live in a parched land. Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If the member listens to you, you have regained that one. O taste and see that the Lord is good;
happy are those who take refuge in him. Therefore you are great, O Lord God; for there is no one like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help? The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth. But if the wicked turn away from all their sins that they have committed and keep all my statutes and do what is lawful and right, they shall surely live; they shall not die. And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we abound in love for you. Wealth is a ransom for a person's life,
but the poor get no threats. Each of us must please our neighbor for the good purpose of building up the neighbor. If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I am commanding you today, by loving the Lord your God, walking in his ways, and observing his commandments, decrees, and ordinances, then you shall live and become numerous, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to possess. And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.”
