Chinese (traditional)The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich,
and he adds no sorrow with it. You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness. Fathers can give their sons an inheritance of houses and wealth,
but only the Lord can give an understanding wife. Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Oh, the joys of those who do not
follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with mockers. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their fellow believers. Work brings profit,
but mere talk leads to poverty! May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s holy people. If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back. Keep me safe, O God,
for I have come to you for refuge. So obey the commands of the Lord your God by walking in his ways and fearing him. The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers. Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death,
its jealousy as enduring as the grave.
Love flashes like fire,
the brightest kind of flame. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich.
Be wise enough to know when to quit. So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. I am the Lord, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me? For I cried out to him for help,
praising him as I spoke. But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats. For the word of God will never fail. Pride ends in humiliation,
while humility brings honor. So the Lord must wait for you to come to him
so he can show you his love and compassion.
For the Lord is a faithful God.
Blessed are those who wait for his help. For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word. For the word of the Lord holds true,
and we can trust everything he does. So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you. He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west. Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly.Next verse!With image
