Chinese (traditional)But I with the voice of thanksgiving
will sacrifice to you;
what I have vowed I will pay.
Deliverance belongs to the Lord! Unless the Lord builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord guards the city,
the guard keeps watch in vain. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children are walking in the truth. I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer,
my God, my rock in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. He answered, “Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:
Seek me and live. The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for that is the whole duty of everyone. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us. As God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. May he grant you your heart's desire,
and fulfill all your plans. Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same purpose. Return, faithless Israel,
says the Lord.
I will not look on you in anger,
for I am merciful,
says the Lord;
I will not be angry forever. Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his steadfast love. Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. Be on your guard, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but may receive a full reward. The integrity of the upright guides them,
but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. But those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength,
they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not be weary,
they shall walk and not faint. Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;
let your face shine, that we may be saved. But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with all of you. Train children in the right way,
and when old, they will not stray. The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. Bear fruit worthy of repentance. The wicked earn no real gain,
but those who sow righteousness get a true reward. Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow.
