Chinese (traditional)Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Unless the Lord builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. Open your mouth, judge righteously,
defend the rights of the poor and needy. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Turn away from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it. He who withholds kindness from a friend
forsakes the fear of the Almighty. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
and his greatness is unsearchable. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness. Train up a child in the way he should go;
even when he is old he will not depart from it. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down,
but a good word makes him glad. For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. But they who wait for the Lord
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint. Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. A man without self-control
is like a city broken into and left without walls. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. The Lord is with you while you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. God shall bless us;
let all the ends of the earth fear him! “Yet even now,” declares the Lord,
“return to me with all your heart,
with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”Next verse!With image
