Chinese (traditional)Then Peter began to speak to them: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.” Do not deceive yourselves. If you think that you are wise in this age, you should become fools so that you may become wise. The lover of money will not be satisfied with money; nor the lover of wealth, with gain. This also is vanity. For all 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. Let me hear of your steadfast love in the morning,
for in you I put my trust.
Teach me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul. And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but those who hate to be rebuked are stupid. But as for you, man of God, shun all this; pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. The clever see danger and hide;
but the simple go on, and suffer for it. Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” What then? Should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living. For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many. If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Before destruction one's heart is haughty,
but humility goes before honor. Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. God chose what is low and despised in the world, things that are not, to reduce to nothing things that are, so that no one might boast in the presence of God. O give thanks to the Lord, call on his name,
make known 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 compassion on them,
and they shall be as though I had not rejected them;
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 better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all offenses. For I, the Lord your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Do not fear,
I will help you.” Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” Where can I go from your spirit?
Or where can I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. Put to death, therefore, whatever in you is earthly: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry). For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters. The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. As far as the east is from the west,
so far he removes our transgressions from us. Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.”Next verse!With image
