Chinese (traditional)In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. And saying, “The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.” The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked is perverse. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing. Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, ‘Yahweh, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day, you will go up to Yahweh’s house.”’ Yahweh will keep you from all evil.
He will keep your soul.
Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in,
from this time forward, and forever more. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh
is wealth, honor, and life. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. Yahweh your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you if you return to him. As the deer pants for the water brooks,
so my soul pants after you, God. He reveals the deep and secret things.
He knows what is in the darkness,
and the light dwells with him. That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love. For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past,
like 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, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success. Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another. In you, Yahweh, I take refuge.
Let me never be disappointed.
Deliver me in your righteousness. Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective. I will be glad and rejoice in you.
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. Can a woman forget her nursing child,
that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Yes, 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 are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another abounds. The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back,
but the righteous give generously. Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, 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 don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. Before the mountains were born,
before you had formed the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows. My son, don’t forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments,
for they will add to you length of days,
years of life, and peace. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says Yahweh, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.” Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.Next verse!With image
