Chinese (traditional)Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out 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 praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them. I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you. Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. The Lord gives strength to his people;
the Lord blesses his people with peace. In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever. I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me;
I was found by those who did not seek me.
To a nation that did not call on my name,
I said, ‘Here am I, here am I.’ Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth. Who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. Whoever loves money never has enough;
whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.
This too is meaningless. Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I entrust my life. Who is he, this King of glory?
The Lord Almighty—
he is the King of glory. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Next verse!With image
