Chinese (traditional)And let us consider how to spur one another to love and good works. Do not neglect to attend your assemblies, as some do, but rather encourage one another, especially since you can see the Day approaching. I have told you these things
so that my joy may be in you
and your joy may be complete. How great is your goodness, O Lord,
which you have stored up for those who fear you
and which you bestow on those who take refuge in you,
in the presence of all the people. Whatever you ask for in faith-filled prayer, you will receive. Peter answered, “Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Entrust everything that you do to the Lord,
and your plans will turn out to be successful. And not only that, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we realize that suffering develops perseverance, and perseverance produces character, and character produces hope. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Pleasing words are like a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and affording health to the body. Blessed is the man whom God reproves.
Therefore, do not reject the discipline of the Almighty. Jesus looked at them and said, “For men this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.” Do not forsake your friend or the friend of your father,
and do not run to your brother’s house when troubles befall you;
far better is a friend nearby
than a brother who is far away. Repent, therefore, and be converted so that your sins may be wiped away. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap. The measure that you use for others will be used to measure you. A man is joyful when he utters apt answers,
and even more satisfying is a word in season. If we claim that we have fellowship with him
while we continue to live in darkness,
we are lying and do not live in the truth. When you search for me, you will find me. When you seek me with all your heart. Even should my heart and my flesh fail,
God is the rock of my heart
and my portion forever. About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. For I am longing to see you so that I may bestow on you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— or, rather, so that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine. I lift up my eyes to the mountains;
from where will I receive help?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth. Hence, be imitators of God, as beloved children. In the same way, the Son of Man did not come to be served but rather to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit. Who among you is wise and understanding? Prove by your good life that your works are done with the humility that comes from wisdom. Who can find a worthy wife?
She is far more precious than pearls. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God who has marked you with his seal for the day of redemption. I consider that the sufferings we presently endure are not worth comparing with the glory to be revealed in us. He will not permit your foot to stumble;
he who guards you will not fall asleep. As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
