Chinese (traditional)However, the Lord is faithful. He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. Who has performed these deeds and accomplished this?
Who has summoned the nations from the beginning?
I, the Lord, am the first,
and I will be there with the last. In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. Therefore, my beloved brethren, stand firm and immovable, devoting yourselves completely to the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. The wicked man borrows but neglects to repay,
whereas the righteous man is generous in giving. Brethren, we must always give thanks to God for you, and it is only right that we do so. For your faith grows ever more, and the love that all of you have for one another continues to increase. Jesus replied, “Blessed, rather, are those who hear the word of God and obey it!” A man’s ways may seem right to him,
but the Lord weighs the heart. This is my commandment:
love one another
as I have loved you. However, if we confess our sins,
he who is faithful and just
will forgive our sins
and cleanse us from all wrongdoing. Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth. Hear, O Israel, the Lord, our God, is Lord alone. You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. The way of God is blameless;
the Lord’s promise has proved true.
He is a shield to all
who take refuge in him. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God who has marked you with his seal for the day of redemption. Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from anything that can defile flesh or spirit, and thereby make our holiness perfect in the fear of God. Surely God is my helper;
the Lord is the one who sustains me. About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Let the word of Christ with all its richness dwell in you. Teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God with gratitude in your hearts. I, I alone, am the one who comforts you.
Why then do you fear mortal men who must die,
human beings who must perish like grass? Do not let this book of the law be absent from your mouth; meditate upon it day and night, so that you might carefully observe everything that is written in it. Then you will prosper and be successful. For you know that the testing of your faith will develop perseverance. I will rejoice and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. For the Lord, your God, is gracious and compassionate, and he will not turn his face away from you if you return to him. But without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever comes to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. All this knowledge comes from the Lord of hosts
whose counsel is wonderful
and whose wisdom is great. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in the knowledge that the spirits are subject to you. Rejoice rather that your names are inscribed in heaven. I have given you a command. Be strong and brave, do not be afraid nor dismayed. I, the Lord, your God, will be with you wherever you go. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory shine over all the earth. You shall not kill. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness. Honor your father and your mother. Love your neighbor as yourself. Do not be deceived; God cannot be mocked. A person will reap only what he sows. We have come to know
and to believe in
the love that God has for us.
God is love,
and whoever abides in love
abides in God,
and God in him.Next verse!With image
