Chinese (traditional)May the Lord grant strength to his people.
May the Lord bless his people with peace. Jesus said to him, “Go on your way! Your faith has made you well.” Immediately, he received his sight and followed him along the road. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but rather a spirit of power and of love and of wisdom. The powerful suffer want and go hungry,
but those who seek the Lord want for no good thing. The Lord does not delay in keeping his promise, as some think in terms of delay, but he is patient with you. It is not his wish that any should perish but rather that all should be brought to repentance. If you listen to the voice of the Lord, your God, and you do what is right in his sight, if you listen to his ordinances and observe all of his laws, I will not bring upon you any of the diseases that I brought upon the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you. Your word is a lamp for my feet
and a light to my path. Jesus answered them,
“I am the bread of life.
Whoever comes to me will never be hungry,
and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” Seek the Lord while he still may be found;
call to him when he is close at hand. Remember your Creator in the days of your youth
before the bad times come
and the years draw near when you will say,
“I take no pleasure in them”. However, if we confess our sins,
he who is faithful and just
will forgive our sins
and cleanse us from all wrongdoing. And when he had been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him. As a father has compassion for his children,
so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him. Do not succumb to the love of money, but be content with what you have, for God has said, “I will never forsake you or abandon you.” Therefore, encourage one another and strengthen one another, as indeed you are doing. The law of the Lord is perfect,
affording refreshment to the soul.
The decree of the Lord is worthy of trust,
imparting wisdom to the simple. Therefore, my beloved brethren, stand firm and immovable, devoting yourselves completely to the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. Jesus replied, “Blessed, rather, are those who hear the word of God and obey it!” Then keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies. I have given you a command. Be strong and brave, do not be afraid nor dismayed. I, the Lord, your God, will be with you wherever you go. This is my commandment:
love one another
as I have loved you. I keep the Lord always before me,
for with him at my right hand
I will never fall. While Peter was thus imprisoned, the Church prayed fervently to God for him. But without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever comes to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. You are my refuge and my shield;
I put my hope in your word. In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem, but throughout Judea and Samaria, and indeed to the farthest ends of the earth. O Lord, you are kind and forgiving,
filled with kindness for all who cry to you. This, in fact, is what you have been called to do, because Christ himself suffered for you and left an example for you to follow in his footsteps. I rejoice in following your statutes
more than I would rejoice in endless riches. Then he said to them, “Go forth into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to all creation.” However, if we confess our sins,
he who is faithful and just
will forgive our sins
and cleanse us from all wrongdoing.Next verse!With image
