Chinese (traditional)For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also. Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed;
a high tower in times of trouble. He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s. Let your eyes look straight ahead.
Fix your gaze directly before you. Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? As the deer pants for the water brooks,
so my soul pants after you, God. For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you today, that Yahweh your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past,
like a watch in the night. Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward. For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips. I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Yahweh, you have searched me,
and you know me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up.
You perceive my thoughts from afar. I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown. And keep the instruction of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn yourself. Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice.
In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly. Don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Do the things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me, and the God of peace will be with you. Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all wrongs. For I, Yahweh your God, will hold your right hand,
saying to you, ‘Don’t be afraid.
I will help you.’ If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him. Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens,
even the God who is our salvation. Selah. One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind. Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers. That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness.
A poor man is better than a liar. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to the whole creation.”
