Chinese (traditional)Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
He delights in every detail of their lives. No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever. And forgive us our sins,
as we have forgiven those who sin against us. May the Lord our God be with us as he was with our ancestors; may he never leave us or abandon us. The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear.
What can mere people do to me? God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right,
for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all. An honest witness does not lie;
a false witness breathes lies. God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. The grass withers and the flowers fade,
but the word of our God stands forever. A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you. You have given me your shield of victory.
Your right hand supports me;
your help has made me great.
You have made a wide path for my feet
to keep them from slipping. May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus. That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him.” A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.
“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.” The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. Better to have little, with godliness,
than to be rich and dishonest. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Wait patiently for the Lord.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang:
“Blessing and honor and glory and power
belong to the one sitting on the throne
and to the Lamb forever and ever.” That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you. So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls. He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west. Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,
for I am trusting you.
Show me where to walk,
for I give myself to you.Next verse!With image
