Chinese (traditional)Consequently, anyone united to Christ is a new creation. The old order has passed away. Behold, all has become new. Then Jesus said to those Jews who did believe in him,
“If you remain faithful to my word,
you will truly be my disciples.
You will know the truth,
and the truth will set you free.” Entrust everything that you do to the Lord,
and your plans will turn out to be successful. If we claim that we have fellowship with him
while we continue to live in darkness,
we are lying and do not live in the truth. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. I will give thanks to you among the peoples, O Lord;
I will sing your praises among the nations. For this day in the city of David there has been born to you a Savior who is Christ, the Lord. She will give birth to a son, and you shall name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life;
whoever does not believe in the Son will not see life,
but the wrath of God rests upon him. I treasure your word in my heart
for fear that I may sin against you. Repent, therefore, and be converted so that your sins may be wiped away. Who among you is wise and understanding? Prove by your good life that your works are done with the humility that comes from wisdom. May the Lord grant strength to his people.
May the Lord bless his people with peace. In the same way, faith by itself is dead if it does not have works. Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be accomplished for him. Even should my heart and my flesh fail,
God is the rock of my heart
and my portion forever. I was eager to respond
to those who did not consult me.
I was anxious to be approached
by those who did not seek me.
I said, “Here I am! Here I am!”
to a nation that did not summon me. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap. The measure that you use for others will be used to measure you. For everything there is a season,
and a time for every activity under heaven. Just as the living Father sent me
and I have life because of the Father,
so whoever feeds upon me will live because of me. I am the living bread that came down from heaven.
Whoever eats this bread will live forever;
and the bread that I will give
is my flesh, for the life of the world. In my anguish I cried out to the Lord
and called to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears. Those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. When you search for me, you will find me. When you seek me with all your heart. I lift up my eyes to the mountains;
from where will I receive help?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth. He gave himself for us in order to deliver us from all iniquity and to purify for himself a people as his own who are eager to do good. And the Word became flesh
and dwelt among us.
And we saw his glory,
the glory as of the Father’s only Son,
full of grace and truth. One who is covetous will never be satisfied with money,
nor will the lover of wealth be content with gain.
This too is vanity. Let no one delude himself. If anyone among you considers himself to be wise by worldly standards, he must become a fool in order to be truly wise. Hence, be imitators of God, as beloved children. At dawn let me experience your kindness,
for in you I place my trust.
Show me the path I must walk,
for to you I lift up my soul. Then he said to them, “Go forth into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to all creation.” 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.Next verse!With image
