Chinese (traditional)And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. O how abundant is your goodness
that you have laid up for those who fear you,
and accomplished for those who take refuge in you,
in the sight of everyone! Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive. Peter said to them, “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.” Commit your work to the Lord,
and your plans will be established. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the body. How happy is the one whom God reproves;
therefore do not despise the discipline of the Almighty. But Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is impossible, but for God all things are possible.” Do not forsake your friend or the friend of your parent;
do not go to the house of your kindred in the day of your calamity.
Better is a neighbor who is nearby
than kindred who are far away. Repent therefore, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back. To make an apt answer is a joy to anyone,
and a word in season, how good it is! If we say that we have fellowship with him while we are walking in darkness, we lie and do not do what is true. When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart. My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. For I am longing to see you so that I may share with 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 hills—
from where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. Just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life 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 is wise and understanding among you? Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of wisdom. A capable wife who can find?
She is far more precious than jewels. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption. I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us. He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber. As far as the east is from the west,
so far he removes our transgressions from us. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.Next verse!With image
