Chinese (traditional)As iron sharpens iron,
so a friend sharpens a friend. Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven. You must faithfully keep all my commands by putting them into practice, for I am the Lord. Trust in the Lord and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” Some people are always greedy for more,
but the godly love to give! The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these. Do not add to or subtract from these commands I am giving you. Just obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you. Your laws are my treasure;
they are my heart’s delight. But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Those who control their tongue will have a long life;
opening your mouth can ruin everything. Believers who are poor have something to boast about, for God has honored them. And those who are rich should boast that God has humbled them. They will fade away like a little flower in the field. If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. You are altogether beautiful, my darling,
beautiful in every way. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you. The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’ But God is my helper.
The Lord keeps me alive! Asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless. I have chosen to be faithful;
I have determined to live by your regulations. That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Then the Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain. Stay there, and I will give you the tablets of stone on which I have inscribed the instructions and commands so you can teach the people.” Those who listen to instruction will prosper;
those who trust the Lord will be joyful. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take. And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? I will cause your descendants to become as numerous as the stars of the sky, and I will give them all these lands. And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed. I will do this because Abraham listened to me and obeyed all my requirements, commands, decrees, and instructions. People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life,
but those who ignore correction will go astray. He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.Next verse!With image
