Chinese (traditional)You will be enriched in every way for your great generosity, which will produce thanksgiving to God through us. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Deceit is in the mind of those who plan evil,
but those who counsel peace have joy. Jesus said to him, “If you are able!—All things can be done for the one who believes.” See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. You show me the path of life.
In your presence there is fullness of joy;
in your right hand are pleasures forevermore. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. There is no Holy One like the Lord,
no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God. Honor widows who are really widows. And live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,
and the glory of children is their parents. Blessed is anyone who endures temptation. Such a one has stood the test and will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. A cheerful heart is a good medicine,
but a downcast spirit dries up the bones. May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus. On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me.” You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your right hand has supported me;
your help has made me great.
You gave me a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip. No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it. And whoever does not provide for relatives, and especially for family members, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. Get wisdom; get insight: do not forget, nor turn away
from the words of my mouth. The grass withers, the flower fades;
but the word of our God will stand forever. For what will it profit them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life? With the Lord on my side I do not fear.
What can mortals do to me? Therefore I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities for the sake of Christ; for whenever I am weak, then I am strong. Let the wicked forsake their way,
and the unrighteous their thoughts;
let them return to the Lord, that he may have mercy on them,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. A person's pride will bring humiliation,
but one who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor. If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him! Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord! And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.” Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.Next verse!With image
