Chinese (traditional)But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you. How can a young person stay pure?
By obeying your word. Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth. May the Lord bless you
and protect you.
May the Lord smile on you
and be gracious to you.
May the Lord show you his favor
and give you his peace. In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul.
If you find it, you will have a bright future,
and your hopes will not be cut short. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins. Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord,
for our hope is in you alone. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. He replied, “What is impossible for people is possible with God.” I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance;
therefore, I will hope in him!” ‘I am the Lord your God,’ I told them. ‘Follow my decrees, pay attention to my regulations, and keep my Sabbath days holy, for they are a sign to remind you that I am the Lord your God.’ No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. Pride leads to conflict;
those who take advice are wise. If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened;
he saved me from all my troubles. And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that much! You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls. Let your favor shine on your servant.
In your unfailing love, rescue me. “Don’t tear your clothing in your grief,
but tear your hearts instead.”
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is merciful and compassionate,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
He is eager to relent and not punish. For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. Avoid all perverse talk;
stay away from corrupt speech. But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice,
for they will be satisfied. I wait quietly before God,
for my victory comes from him. “The time promised by God has come at last!” he announced. “The Kingdom of God is near! Repent of your sins and believe the Good News!” If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. Joyful are those who obey his laws
and search for him with all their hearts. Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.” Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see.
For the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you.Next verse!With image
