Chinese (traditional)Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven,
for all his works are truth,
and his ways are justice;
and he is able to bring low
those who walk in pride. Those who keep the commandment will live;
those who are heedless of their ways will die. For we brought nothing into the world, so that we can take nothing out of it; but if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these. No one, when tempted, should say, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil and he himself tempts no one. In you, O Lord, I seek refuge;
do not let me ever be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me. For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life. By faith he received power of procreation, even though he was too old—and Sarah herself was barren—because he considered him faithful who had promised. No one who conceals transgressions will prosper,
but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these. Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear to my cry;
do not hold your peace at my tears.
For I am your passing guest,
an alien, like all my forebears. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by becoming like him in his death. You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. I will praise you with an upright heart,
when I learn your righteous ordinances. I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. For what the flesh desires is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit desires is opposed to the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you want. The young lions suffer want and hunger,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. And those who are in the flesh cannot please God. And whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. God gives the desolate a home to live in;
he leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but the rebellious live in a parched land. For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,
but one who rejects a rebuke goes astray. Why do you see the speck in your neighbor's eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? But I do not count my life of any value to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news of God's grace. Even before a word is on my tongue,
O Lord, you know it completely. I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.” But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.Next verse!With image
