Chinese (traditional)But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise,
and I will fulfill all my vows.
For my salvation comes from the Lord alone. Unless the Lord builds a house,
the work of the builders is wasted.
Unless the Lord protects a city,
guarding it with sentries will do no good. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. I could have no greater joy than to hear that my children are following the truth. I love you, Lord;
you are my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
and my place of safety. “Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’” And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.” Now this is what the Lord says to the family of Israel:
“Come back to me and live!” That’s the whole story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us. Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. May he grant your heart’s desires
and make all your plans succeed. I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. O Israel, my faithless people,
come home to me again,
for I am merciful.
I will not be angry with you forever. But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love. Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law. Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked so hard to achieve. Be diligent so that you receive your full reward. Honesty guides good people;
dishonesty destroys treacherous people. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint. In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents. Turn us again to yourself, O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies.
Make your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved. But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all. Direct your children onto the right path,
and when they are older, they will not leave it. A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart. Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Evil people get rich for the moment,
but the reward of the godly will last. Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate. Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. For the Lord your God is living among you.
He is a mighty savior.
He will take delight in you with gladness.
With his love, he will calm all your fears.
He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.Next verse!With image
