Chinese (traditional)Godliness produces great gain, but only to those who are content. In the same way, I tell you, there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance. I rejoice in following your statutes
more than I would rejoice in endless riches. God has overlooked the times of human ignorance, but now he commands people everywhere to repent. Therefore, put on the armor of God, so that you will be able to hold fast on the evil day and to hold your ground with all your strength. Reflect on the Lord and his strength;
seek his face continually. And this is the testimony:
God gave us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift freely given by God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. When things are going well, be grateful for your blessings,
and in times of adversity consider this:
God has made both of them,
so that we cannot predict with confidence
what the future holds. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. This is the Lord’s message to Zerubbabel: Not by force, nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. The hope of the righteous brings them joy,
but the expectations of the wicked are frustrated. Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And yet not one of them is forgotten in God’s sight. Even the hairs on your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth far more than any number of sparrows. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. The heavens were made by the word of the Lord,
and all their host by the breath of his mouth. Do not associate with unbelievers. For what basis can there be for a partnership between righteousness and lawlessness? What do light and darkness have in common? In my Father’s house
there are many dwelling places.
If there were not,
would I have told you
that I am going to prepare a place for you? Do not swerve either to the right or to the left;
keep your foot far from evil. However, if we live in the light
as he himself is in the light,
then we have fellowship with one another,
and the blood of Jesus his Son
purifies us from all sin. Even when you reach old age
I will still be the same.
Even when your hair is gray,
I will still carry you.
I have made you and I will uphold you;
I will carry you and save you. Dispose my heart to follow your statutes
and to flee selfish gain. Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ Meanwhile, the Church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria enjoyed peace, building up strength and living in the fear of the Lord. Encouraged by the Holy Spirit, the Church grew in numbers. Bless the Lord, O my soul;
my entire being, bless his holy name. Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good. Go and learn what this text means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ I have come to call not the righteous but sinners. He heals the brokenhearted
and bandages their wounds. Instruct those who are rich in this world’s goods that they should not be proud, nor should they trust in the uncertainty of riches but rather in God who richly provides us with everything we need for our enjoyment. Persevere in prayer, with alert minds and thankful hearts. Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,
and the glory of children is their parents. Then he said to them, “Go forth into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to all creation.” Although you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with a joy that is indescribable and glorious. For you are achieving the goal of your faith, that is, the salvation of your souls.Next verse!With image
