Chinese (traditional)Two are better than one:
they earn a far greater reward for their toil. Indeed, creation itself eagerly awaits the revelation of the children of God. Jesus looked at them and said, “For men it is impossible, but not for God. For God all things are possible.” Teach us to comprehend how few our days are
so that our hearts may be filled with wisdom. Each person should give as much as he has decided in his heart, not with reluctance or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person. For the temple of God is holy, and you are that temple. Wealth hastily acquired will dwindle away,
but when amassed little by little, it will increase. For just as in one body we have many parts, and the parts do not all have the same function, so we, though many, make up one body in Christ, and individually we are all parts of one another. Whatever you do, do it wholeheartedly, as if you were doing it for the Lord and not for others, since you know that you will receive from the Lord an inheritance as your reward for you are serving the Lord Christ. Even if an army encamps against me,
my heart will not succumb to fear;
even if war breaks out against me,
I will not have my trust shaken. Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in uprightness, so that the man of God may be proficient and equipped for good work of every kind. Banish grief from your heart
and ignore the sufferings of your body,
for youth and the prime of life are fleeting. Let your love be sincere. Loathe what is evil and hold fast to what is good. Jesus then said to her,
“I am the resurrection and the life.
Whoever believes in me,
even though he dies, will live,
and everyone who lives
and believes in me
will never die.
Do you believe this?” You who abide in the shelter of the Most High,
who rest in the shadow of the Almighty,
say to the Lord, “You are my refuge and my fortress,
my God in whom I place my trust.” Blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see God. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, Jews as well as Greeks, slaves as well as free men, and we were all given the same Spirit to drink. O Lord, do not withhold your mercy from me;
may your kindness and your truth keep me safe forever. The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has been unable to overcome it. For since death came into the world through a man, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a man. Riches will be of no avail on the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from death. For just as through the disobedience of one man the many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one man the many will be made righteous. But for you who fear my name
the sun of justice will arise
with its healing rays.
You will emerge leaping
like calves released from the stall. I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise will be continually on my lips. However, now that you have been freed from sin and bound to the service of God, the benefit you receive is sanctification, and the end is eternal life. But as for me, I will look to the Lord.
I place my hope in God my savior;
my God will hear me. It is honorable to avoid strife,
but every fool is quarrelsome. And learn to do good.
Pursue justice and rescue the oppressed;
listen to the plea of the orphan
and defend the widow. And every tongue should proclaim
to the glory of God the Father:
Jesus Christ is Lord. The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and merciful in everything he does. Then he said to them, “Go forth into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to all creation.” When Jesus heard this, he said, “Do not be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be saved.”Next verse!With image
