Chinese (traditional)Blessed are those who mourn,
for they shall be comforted. But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed. With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor,
but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge. Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him. He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.” It is better to take refuge in Yahweh,
than to put confidence in man. But Yahweh said to Samuel, “Don’t look on his face, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for I don’t see as man sees. For man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart.” We love him, because he first loved us. Why do you set your eyes on that which is not?
For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky. Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge; and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness; and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love. You shall serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you. Those who love your law have great peace.
Nothing causes them to stumble. But just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior, because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” Yahweh, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth. A man of many companions may be ruined,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him. If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart.
I will tell of all your marvelous works. Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil.
I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth. For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory. So that with good courage we say,
“The Lord is my helper. I will not fear.
What can man do to me?” Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but Yahweh delivers him out of them all. Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil. You shall keep his statutes and his commandments which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which Yahweh your God gives you for all time. Yahweh is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness. Always rejoice. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake. A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger. Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good. Abstain from every form of evil. As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us. Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.Next verse!With image
