Chinese (traditional)For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life? Or what will they give in return for their life? Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. Honor the Lord with your substance
and with the first fruits of all your produce. Very truly, I tell you, whoever receives one whom I send receives me; and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. Do not worry 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.
Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications! O 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 and sisters, this 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 through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it. Adulterers! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world becomes 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. If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit. Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them? says the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? says the Lord. Rise up, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;
do not forget the oppressed. But as for you, man of God, shun all this; pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness. Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil. The precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is clear,
enlightening the eyes. For I am not ashamed of the gospel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, 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. Well then, does God supply you with the Spirit and work miracles among you by your doing the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness
will find life 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, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith. You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with glad cries of deliverance. Selah It is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God. And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.” O Lord, you are my God;
I will exalt you, I will praise your name;
for you have done wonderful things,
plans formed of old, faithful and sure.Next verse!With image
