Chinese (traditional)Blessed is the one
whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered. Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. With my whole heart I seek you;
let me not wander from your commandments! Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.” Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man's envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven. Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God. Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. Wealth gained hastily will dwindle,
but whoever gathers little by little will increase it. And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven. And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. I sought the Lord, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears. Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds. Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. As far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
