Chinese (traditional)Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul. Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. Do not fear, for I am with you,
do not be afraid, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Where can I go from your spirit?
Or where can I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved. But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.” Anxiety weighs down the human heart,
but a good word cheers it up. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.” You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name. As a father has compassion for his children,
so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us. Love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but whoever follows perverse ways will be found out. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be done in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honor. Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory. Selah Yet even now, says the Lord,
return to me with all your heart,
with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning. From that time Jesus began to proclaim, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” To do righteousness and justice
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. “All things are lawful,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, says the Lord God. Turn, then, and live. For not by their own sword did they win the land,
nor did their own arm give them victory;
but your right hand, and your arm,
and the light of your countenance,
for you delighted in them. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work. You must follow exactly the path that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you are to possess. Speak out, judge righteously,
defend the rights of the poor and needy. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do this. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow.
