Chinese (traditional)Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” Teach us to number our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple. Dishonest money dwindles away,
but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident. 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 God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. So then, banish anxiety from your heart
and cast off the troubles of your body,
for youth and vigor are meaningless. Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.” Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord;
may your love and faithfulness always protect me. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from death. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord,
I wait for God my Savior;
my God will hear me. It is to one’s honor to avoid strife,
but every fool is quick to quarrel. Learn to do right; seek justice.
Defend the oppressed.
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
plead the case of the widow. And every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and faithful in all he does. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
