Chinese (traditional)Then Peter addressed them: “I now understand how true it is that God has no favorites, but that in every nation all those who fear God and do what is right are acceptable to him.” Let no one delude himself. If anyone among you considers himself to be wise by worldly standards, he must become a fool in order to be truly wise. One who is covetous will never be satisfied with money,
nor will the lover of wealth be content with gain.
This too is vanity. Those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. At dawn let me experience your kindness,
for in you I place my trust.
Show me the path I must walk,
for to you I lift up my soul. And my God will fully supply all your needs out of the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. But you are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people claimed by God as his own possession,” so that you may proclaim the praise of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but the one who hates correction is stupid. But as for you, man of God, you must shun all this. Rather, pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, fortitude, and gentleness. But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. The prudent man perceives danger and seeks shelter,
while the simple continue forward and pay the penalty. Then Jesus said to those Jews who did believe in him,
“If you remain faithful to my word,
you will truly be my disciples.
You will know the truth,
and the truth will set you free.” What then? Should we sin because we are not under the Law but under grace? Of course not! I am confident that I will behold the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. As much as possible, and to the extent of your ability, live in peace with everyone. A man is haughty until disaster overtakes him,
but humility comes before honors. Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. God chose those in the world who were lowly and despised, those who count for nothing, to reduce to nothing those who were regarded as worthy, so that no one could boast in the presence of God. Give thanks to the Lord, invoke his name;
proclaim his deeds among the peoples. I will strengthen the house of Judah,
and I will save the house of Joseph.
I will bring them back
because I have taken pity on them,
and they will be
as though I had never cast them off;
for I am the Lord, their God,
and I will answer them. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is preferable for you to lose one part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into Gehenna. Hatred stirs up strife,
but love overlooks all offenses. For I, the Lord, am your God
and I grasp your right hand.
It is I who say to you,
Do not fear; I will help you. Jesus answered him,
“Whoever loves me will keep my word,
and my Father will love him,
and we will come to him
and make our abode with him.” Where can I go to hide from your spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to the heavens, you are there;
if I take my rest in the netherworld, you are also there. And so you should put to death everything in your nature that is earthly: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desires, and greed (which is idolatry). For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there in their midst. The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall lack.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me to tranquil streams. The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord shine his face upon you and be gracious to you.
The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace. As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us. Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have received from God, and that you are not your own? You have been purchased at a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body.Next verse!With image
