Chinese (traditional)Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.” Teach us to realize the brevity of life,
so that we may grow in wisdom. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple. Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears;
wealth from hard work grows over time. Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ. Though a mighty army surrounds me,
my heart will not be afraid.
Even if I am attacked,
I will remain confident. Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. So refuse to worry, and keep your body healthy. But remember that youth, with a whole life before you, is meaningless. Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?” Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him. God blesses those whose hearts are pure,
for they will see God. Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit. Lord, don’t hold back your tender mercies from me.
Let your unfailing love and faithfulness always protect me. The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it. So you see, just as death came into the world through a man, now the resurrection from the dead has begun through another man. Riches won’t help on the day of judgment,
but right living can save you from death. Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous. But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture. I will praise the Lord at all times.
I will constantly speak his praises. But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life. As for me, I look to the Lord for help.
I wait confidently for God to save me,
and my God will certainly hear me. Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor;
only fools insist on quarreling. Learn to do good.
Seek justice.
Help the oppressed.
Defend the cause of orphans.
Fight for the rights of widows. And every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. The Lord is righteous in everything he does;
he is filled with kindness. And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.” So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.Next verse!With image
