Chinese (traditional)Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God. After he said this, he was lifted up as they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight. Do not pride yourself on your own wisdom;
fear the Lord and turn your back on evil.
This will provide healing for your flesh
and restore strength to your body. “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “the one who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” When you call out to me and come forth and pray to me, I will listen to you. Even though I wander
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are at my side,
with your rod and your staff
that comfort me. Continue in all of the ways that the Lord, your God, has commanded you. Continue in them so that you may live and prosper and that you may long dwell on the land of your inheritance. Bear with one another, and forgive one another if anyone has reason to be offended with another. You must forgive just as the Lord has forgiven you. My mouth is filled with your praises
as I relate your glory all day long. Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from anything that can defile flesh or spirit, and thereby make our holiness perfect in the fear of God. Do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and give you help,
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. Blessed are all those who fear the Lord
and walk in his ways. Brethren, we must always give thanks to God for you, and it is only right that we do so. For your faith grows ever more, and the love that all of you have for one another continues to increase. When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
nor will the waters engulf you.
When you walk through fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not consume you. How wonderful and delightful it is
for brothers to live together in unity. “All things are lawful,” you may say—but not all things are beneficial. All things may be lawful—but not all things are constructive. No one can have greater love
than to lay down his life for his friends. My son, do not ignore the Lord’s discipline
or refuse to accept his rebuke.
For the Lord disciplines those whom he loves,
just as a father chastises a beloved son. Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. Can a woman forget the infant at her breast;
or feel no compassion for the child of her womb?
Even should she forget,
I will never forget you.
Behold, I have inscribed your name
on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before my eyes. The righteous call out, and the Lord hears them;
he rescues them from all their troubles.
The Lord remains close to the brokenhearted,
and he saves those whose spirit is crushed. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercy and the God of all consolation. He consoles us in all our afflictions and thereby enables us to console others in their tribulations, offering them the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God. The wicked man borrows but neglects to repay,
whereas the righteous man is generous in giving. And God is able to enrich you with an abundance of every grace, so that, with all of your needs provided for, you may be able to produce a surplus of good works. For God will repay everyone in accordance with what his deeds deserve. The Lord will protect you against all evil;
he will watch over your life.
The Lord will watch over your coming and your going
both now and forevermore. For the Lord, your God, is gracious and compassionate, and he will not turn his face away from you if you return to him. God is Spirit,
and those who worship him
must worship in Spirit and truth. Then I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I made no attempt to conceal my guilt.
I said, “I will confess my offenses to the Lord,”
and you removed the guilt of my sin. Selah And now it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. The life I live now in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me. I am the gate.
Anyone who enters through me
will be saved.
He will go in and out
and will find pasture. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vanity, but humbly regard others as better than yourselves.Next verse!With image
