Chinese (traditional)Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
It will be a healing for your flesh
and a refreshment for your body. “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you. Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff—
they comfort me. You must follow exactly the path that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you are to possess. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all day long. Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and of spirit, making 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, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. Happy is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in his ways. We must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of everyone of you for one another is increasing. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you. How very good and pleasant it is
when kindred live together in unity! “All things are lawful,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. My child, do not despise the Lord's discipline
or be weary of his reproof,
for the Lord reproves the one he loves,
as a father the son in whom he delights. So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. Can a woman forget her nursing child,
or show no compassion for the child of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.
See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me. When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears,
and rescues them from all their troubles.
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted,
and saves the crushed in spirit. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation, who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God. The wicked borrow, and do not pay back,
but the righteous are generous and keep giving. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work. For he will repay according to each one's deeds. The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time on and forevermore. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face 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 did not hide my iniquity;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and you forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah And it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!Next verse!With image
