Chinese (traditional)In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. And saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.” 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 do not have love, I am nothing. Turn back, and say to Hezekiah prince of my people, Thus says the Lord, the God of your ancestor David: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; indeed, 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 on and forevermore. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. And this is the testimony: 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 longs for flowing streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God. He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what is in the darkness,
and light dwells with him. I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. For a thousand years in your sight
are like yesterday when it is past,
or like a watch in the night. This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordance with all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall be successful. Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. In you, O Lord, I seek refuge;
do not let me ever be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me. So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective. 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,
or show no compassion for the child of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.
See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me. We must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of everyone of you for one another is increasing. The wicked borrow, and do not pay back,
but the righteous are generous and keep giving. Yours, O Lord, are the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and on 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 Advocate 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. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains. My child, do not forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments;
for length of days and years of life
and abundant welfare they will give you. For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. No one who conceals transgressions will prosper,
but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.Next verse!With image
