Chinese (traditional)If I have the gift of prophecy
and the ability to understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
and have all the faith necessary to move mountains,
but do not have love,
I am nothing. Examine me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and understand my thoughts.
See if I follow an evil way,
and guide me on the way to eternity. From that day forward Jesus began to proclaim the message: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is close at hand.” And thus we can have confidence in him
that if we ask anything
that is in accordance with his will,
he hears us. One who forgives a misdeed fosters friendship,
but he who divulges it separates good friends. Likewise, you who are husbands must show consideration for your wives in your life together. Treat your wife with respect, for even though she is the weaker partner, she is also an equal heir of God’s gift of life. Thus, your prayers will not be hindered in any way. Beloved,
since God loved us so much,
we should love one another. When I sing to you, my lips will rejoice,
and so will my soul, which you have redeemed. For I handed on to you as of primary importance what I received: that Christ died for our sins, in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried and that he was raised to life on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He is not here. He has been raised. Remember what he told you while he was still in Galilee: that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners and be crucified and rise again on the third day. The Lord will fulfill his plan for me.
Your kindness, O Lord, endures forever;
do not forsake the work of your hands. But he was pierced for our offenses
and crushed for our iniquity;
the punishment that made us whole fell upon him,
and by his bruises we have been healed. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. A perverse man sows strife,
and a tale-bearer destroys close friendships. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will accomplish this. O Lord, you grant peace to those who are steadfast
because of their trust in you. O Lord, grant us salvation.
O Lord, grant us success.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
We bless you from the house of the Lord. Have no fear of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, fear the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. I ask that from the riches of his glory he may grant through his Spirit that you be strengthened with power in your inner being and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Anyone who leads an honorable life walks in safety,
but whoever pursues wicked ways will be found out. I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, says the Lord God. Repent and live! For I know full well the plans I have for you, plans for your welfare and not for your misfortune, plans that will offer you a future filled with hope. May he give you your heart’s desire
and grant you success in all your plans. If you are angry, do not sin. Do not let the sun set on your anger, and do not give the devil an opening. As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their cry. Just as in Adam all die, so all will be brought to life in Christ. Rather, be kind to one another and compassionate, and forgive one another as God has forgiven you in Christ. But I will sing of your strength;
when morning dawns, I will proclaim your kindness.
For you have been my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble. Jesus replied, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” I am the gate.
Anyone who enters through me
will be saved.
He will go in and out
and will find pasture. For I, the Lord, am your God
and I grasp your right hand.
It is I who say to you,
Do not fear; I will help you.Next verse!With image
