Chinese (traditional)My soul longs for you throughout the night,
and my spirit within me seeks your presence.
For when your judgments are revealed to the earth,
the inhabitants of the world learn to practice justice. Thus there are three things that endure: faith, hope, and love,
and the greatest of these is love. Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God. Beloved,
since God loved us so much,
we should love one another. For our eyes are fixed not on what is seen but rather on that which cannot be seen. What is visible is transitory; what is invisible is eternal. Whom do I have in heaven except you?
And besides you there is nothing else I desire on earth. While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus.” How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of the messenger who announces peace,
who bears good news and proclaims glad tidings,
announcing salvation and saying to Zion,
“Your God is king.” All those who have sinned outside the Law will perish outside the Law, and all who sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law. You shall obey his statutes and the commandments that I give you today, so that all may go well with you and your children after you, and that you may live long in the land that the Lord, your God, has given you for all time. My mouth is filled with your praises
as I relate your glory all day long. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools are those who despise wisdom and instruction. Have no fear of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, fear the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Seek the Lord while he still may be found;
call to him when he is close at hand. I reprove and discipline all those whom I love. Therefore, be sincere in your desire to repent. The Lord does not delay in keeping his promise, as some think in terms of delay, but he is patient with you. It is not his wish that any should perish but rather that all should be brought to repentance. You are my refuge and my shield;
I put my hope in your word. “Peace be with you,” Jesus said to them again.
“As the Father has sent me,
so I send you.” Jesus answered them,
“My teaching is not my own;
rather, it comes from him who sent me.” A fool takes no pleasure in understanding
but only delights in expressing his own opinions. For we will become partners with Christ only if we maintain firmly until the end the confidence we originally had. Yours, O Lord, are greatness,
power, glory, strength, and majesty,
for everything in heaven and on earth is yours.
Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all. Grant justice to the weak and the orphan;
defend the rights of the lowly and the poor. Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that at the proper time he may exalt you. For one believes in the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. As iron sharpens iron,
so a man sharpens the wits of his neighbor. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but rather a spirit of power and of love and of wisdom. So if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out there. If they say, ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For just as lightning comes from the east and is visible even in the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. Your word is a lamp for my feet
and a light to my path. Therefore, keep watch, for you do not know the day when your Lord is coming. Do not be deceived; God cannot be mocked. A person will reap only what he sows. Entrust everything that you do to the Lord,
and your plans will turn out to be successful.Next verse!With image
