Chinese (traditional)Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. How can a young man keep his way pure?
By guarding it according to your word. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. Know that wisdom is such to your soul;
if you find it, there will be a future,
and your hope will not be cut off. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
even as we hope in you. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. But he said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.” I am the Lord your God; walk in my statutes, and be careful to obey my rules, and keep my Sabbaths holy that they may be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. By insolence comes nothing but strife,
but with those who take advice is wisdom. If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
and saved him out of all his troubles. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. Make your face shine on your servant;
save me in your steadfast love! And rend your hearts and not your garments.
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
and he relents over disaster. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Put away from you crooked speech,
and put devious talk far from you. But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied. For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation. The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
who seek him with their whole heart. Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”
