Chinese (traditional)Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. I will hurry, without delay,
to obey your commands. Do not nurse hatred in your heart for any of your relatives. Confront people directly so you will not be held guilty for their sin. Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against a fellow Israelite, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord. And do everything with love. Joyful is the person who finds wisdom,
the one who gains understanding. Search for the Lord and for his strength;
continually seek him. If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. Have mercy on me, O God,
because of your unfailing love.
Because of your great compassion,
blot out the stain of my sins.
Wash me clean from my guilt.
Purify me from my sin. God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent;
with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent. I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world. Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord!
Praise the Lord! And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father. Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. Every word of God proves true.
He is a shield to all who come to him for protection. And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours. The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.
The world and all its people belong to him. You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. Honor your father and mother. Love your neighbor as yourself. May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ. Choose a good reputation over great riches;
being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold. So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God. O God, you are my God;
I earnestly search for you.
My soul thirsts for you;
my whole body longs for you
in this parched and weary land
where there is no water. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm. Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair,
and you will find the right way to go. But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently. He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west. Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.”Next verse!With image
