Chinese (traditional)The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm. “Abba, Father,” he cried out, “everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.” But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. And may the Lord our God show us his approval
and make our efforts successful.
Yes, make our efforts successful! Rejoice, O people of Zion!
Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem!
Look, your king is coming to you.
He is righteous and victorious,
yet he is humble, riding on a donkey—
riding on a donkey’s colt. Suppose you sin by violating one of the Lord’s commands. Even if you are unaware of what you have done, you are guilty and will be punished for your sin. Do not withhold good from those who deserve it
when it’s in your power to help them. Have you never heard?
Have you never understood?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
No one can measure the depths of his understanding. I never shrank back from telling you what you needed to hear, either publicly or in your homes. Joyful is the person who finds wisdom,
the one who gains understanding. No, this is the kind of fasting I want:
Free those who are wrongly imprisoned;
lighten the burden of those who work for you.
Let the oppressed go free,
and remove the chains that bind people. For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen. Look straight ahead,
and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul.
If you find it, you will have a bright future,
and your hopes will not be cut short. And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. Don’t long for “the good old days.”
This is not wise. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity— all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved. In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God. I am counting on the Lord;
yes, I am counting on him.
I have put my hope in his word. So we fasted and earnestly prayed that our God would take care of us, and he heard our prayer. So Jesus told them, “My message is not my own; it comes from God who sent me.” Avoid all perverse talk;
stay away from corrupt speech. You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected. Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all! Show me the right path, O Lord;
point out the road for me to follow. All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west. And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.Next verse!With image
