Chinese (traditional)But godliness with contentment is great gain. I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance. I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies,
as much as in all riches. The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent. Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Seek Yahweh and his strength.
Seek his face forever more. The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yes, God has made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything after him. Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever! Amen. This is Yahweh’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies. The prospect of the righteous is joy,
but the hope of the wicked will perish. Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God. But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it. By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made:
all their army by the breath of his mouth. Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. Don’t turn to the right hand nor to the left.
Remove your foot from evil. But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son, cleanses us from all sin. Even to old age I am he,
and even to gray hairs I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear.
Yes, I will carry, and will deliver. Turn my heart toward your statutes,
not toward selfish gain. Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Praise Yahweh, my soul!
All that is within me, praise his holy name! Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. He heals the broken in heart,
and binds up their wounds. Charge those who are rich in this present age that they not be arrogant, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving. Children’s children are the crown of old men;
the glory of children is their parents. He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to the whole creation.” Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.Next verse!With image
