Chinese (traditional)But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too. The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
He delights in every detail of their lives. But who am I, and who are my people, that we could give anything to you? Everything we have has come from you, and we give you only what you first gave us! Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. A single day in your courts
is better than a thousand anywhere else!
I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God
than live the good life in the homes of the wicked. But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.” As I learn your righteous regulations,
I will thank you by living as I should! For we live by believing and not by seeing. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. This is the day the Lord has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it. For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.” Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life. So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? I will hurry, without delay,
to obey your commands. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good? I love the Lord because he hears my voice
and my prayer for mercy.
Because he bends down to listen,
I will pray as long as I have breath! And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. What blessings await you when people hate you and exclude you and mock you and curse you as evil because you follow the Son of Man. You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Better to have little, with godliness,
than to be rich and dishonest. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom.
All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom.
Praise him forever! Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong. But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one. And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.” There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.Next verse!With image
