Chinese (traditional)Over all these put on love, which is the bond of perfection. I am the Lord, your God,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
You know no God but me,
nor any savior other than me. But from everlasting to everlasting
the kindness of the Lord is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children,
with those who keep his covenant
and diligently observe his commandments. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace when we are in need of help. Behold, I am coming soon, and I will bring with me my reward to repay everyone as his deeds deserve. The explanation of your words gives light
and imparts understanding to the simple. While he was departing as they gazed upward toward the sky, suddenly two men dressed in white robes stood beside them, and they said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking up into the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.” The Lord, your God, is in your midst,
a warrior and a savior.
He will rejoice over you with gladness
and renew you through his love.
He will exult over you with shouts of joy. If someone says, “I love God,”
but at the same time hates his brother,
he is a liar.
For whoever does not love the brother
whom he has seen
cannot love God whom he has not seen. When my anxious thoughts multiplied,
your comfort filled my soul with joy. For you know that the testing of your faith will develop perseverance. When Jesus heard this, he said, “Do not be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be saved.” A man’s ways may seem right to him,
but the Lord weighs the heart. Love one another with genuine affection. Esteem others more highly than yourself. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. Wait quietly for the Lord
and be patient until he comes.
Do not fret over the man who prospers
because of his evil schemes. Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that at the proper time he may exalt you. Cure the sick who are there, and say, ‘The kingdom of God has come unto you.’ Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in accord with the law of the Lord. Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their prayer.
However, the face of the Lord
is set against those who do evil. Come forth! Let us bow down to worship him;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker. But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them. For it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.” Repent and renounce all your transgressions. Otherwise your iniquity will prove to be your downfall. In my anguish I cried out;
the Lord heard my plea,
and I was saved from all my troubles. For one believes in the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. There is no salvation in anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to men by which we can be saved. God is our refuge and our strength,
a well-proved help in times of trouble. When you call out to me and come forth and pray to me, I will listen to you. And now, brethren, farewell. Mend your ways. Encourage one another. Be of one mind and live in peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you. When I realized that my foot was slipping,
your kindness, O Lord, raised me up. Then he said to them, “Go forth into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to all creation.”
