Chinese (traditional)All day long he craves and craves,
but the righteous gives and does not hold back. For I know that my Redeemer lives,
and at the last he will stand upon the earth. This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. Trust in the Lord, and do good;
dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. There is a way that seems right to a man,
but its end is the way to death. God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God. He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Gracious words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the body. Seek good, and not evil,
that you may live;
and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you,
as you have said. If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. As far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us. He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God? And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Whoever gives thought to the word will discover good,
and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord. For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you today, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. Oh, how abundant is your goodness,
which you have stored up for those who fear you
and worked for those who take refuge in you,
in the sight of the children of mankind! For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
and passing over transgression
for the remnant of his inheritance?
He does not retain his anger forever,
because he delights in steadfast love. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths. And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.Next verse!With image
