Chinese (traditional)For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, “The one who is righteous will 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! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It is well with those who deal generously and lend,
who conduct their 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 are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? As they came from their mother's womb, so they shall go again, naked as they came; they shall take nothing for their toil, which they may carry away with their hands. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Pay to all what is due them—taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due. Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved;
for you are my praise. Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his steadfast love. You want something and do not have it; so you commit murder. And you covet something and cannot obtain it; so you engage in disputes and conflicts. You do not have, because you do not ask. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. A gossip goes about telling secrets,
but one who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a confidence. The one 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 victory. Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. See, I am coming soon; my reward is with me, to repay according to everyone's work. Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
the Lord answered me and set me in a broad place. So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today's trouble is enough for today. May mercy, peace, and love be yours in abundance. The wicked earn no real gain,
but those who sow righteousness get a true reward. For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. For God is not unjust; he will not overlook your work and the love that you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to you,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. No weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper,
and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord
and their vindication from me, says the Lord. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. As far as the east is from the west,
so far he removes our transgressions from us. Blessed are those who trust in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.
They shall be like a tree planted by water,
sending out its roots by the stream.
It shall not fear when heat comes,
and its leaves shall stay green;
in the year of drought it is not anxious,
and it does not cease to bear fruit.Next verse!With image
