Chinese (traditional)But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints. Yahweh is my strength and my shield.
My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped.
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices.
With my song I will thank him. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you. Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth. As you don’t know what is the way of the wind,
nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child;
even so you don’t know the work of God who does all. Arise, shine; for your light has come,
and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you! The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.” The father of the righteous has great joy.
Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him. So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition 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 thoughts in Christ Jesus. Honor Yahweh with your substance,
with the first fruits of all your increase. They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you.
Bind them around your neck.
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favor,
and good understanding in the sight of God and man. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would happen, how the Christ must suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to the Gentiles. Establish my footsteps in your word.
Don’t let any iniquity have dominion over me. You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants 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 humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Turn at my reproof.
Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you.
I will make known my words to you. Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them. Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Not to us, Yahweh, not to us,
but to your name give glory,
for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake. Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek. Open your mouth for the mute,
in the cause of all who are left desolate. Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen. It shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant. My son, keep your father’s commandment,
and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching. I will greatly rejoice in Yahweh!
My soul will be joyful 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 with a garland
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 life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life? As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us. Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance.Next verse!With image
