Chinese (traditional)For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. Honor the Lord with your wealth
and with the firstfruits of all your produce. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy! Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruits. Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever! For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord.
Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord. Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;
forget not the afflicted. But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. The precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. But you, O Lord, reign forever;
your throne endures to all generations. Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith? Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness
will find life, righteousness, and honor. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with shouts of deliverance. SelahNext verse!With image
