Chinese (traditional)But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything. Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice;
he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him. So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Honor the Lord with your wealth
and with the firstfruits of all your produce. And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;
bind them around your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favor and good success
in the sight of God and man. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass: that the Christ must suffer and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles. Keep steady my steps according to your promise,
and let no iniquity get dominion over me. You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. If you turn at my reproof,
behold, I will pour out my spirit to you;
I will make my words known to you. I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness! Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Open your mouth for the mute,
for the rights of all who are destitute. Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave. My son, keep your father's commandment,
and forsake not your mother's teaching. I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
my soul shall exult in my God,
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? As far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.Next verse!With image
