Chinese (traditional)For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It is well with the man who deals generously and lends;
who conducts his affairs with justice. Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?” What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? As he came from his mother's womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil that he may carry away in his hand. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed. Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved,
for you are my praise. Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his steadfast love. You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets,
but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered. He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with salvation. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
the Lord answered me and set me free. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. The wicked earns deceptive wages,
but one who sows righteousness gets a sure reward. For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed,
and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord
and their vindication from me, declares the Lord. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. As far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us. That according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love.Next verse!With image
