Chinese (traditional)In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked, what is perverse. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. Turn back, and say to Hezekiah the leader of my people, Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord. The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. The reward for humility and fear of the Lord
is riches and honor and life. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him. As a deer pants for flowing streams,
so pants my soul for you, O God. He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what is in the darkness,
and the light dwells with him. That according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love. For a thousand years in your sight
are but as yesterday when it is past,
or as a watch in the night. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me! So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. Can a woman forget her nursing child,
that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.
Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me. We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing. The wicked borrows but does not pay back,
but the righteous is generous and gives. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. My son, do not forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments,
for length of days and years of life
and peace they will add to you. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.Next verse!With image
