Chinese (traditional)I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose. The Lord your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous. For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you. Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing. Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit,
but righteousness delivers from death. But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. One thing have I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
and to inquire in his temple. Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. A fool despises his father's instruction,
but whoever heeds reproof is prudent. Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. You are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in your word. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness:
He was manifested in the flesh,
vindicated by the Spirit,
seen by angels,
proclaimed among the nations,
believed on in the world,
taken up in glory. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
but the Lord weighs the heart. But Jesus on hearing this answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well.” If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,
over the man who carries out evil devices! As far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
