Chinese (traditional)But he is to ask with faith, without doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed about by the wind. The fear of the Lord implies hatred of evil;
I hate pride and arrogance,
evil ways and perverse speech. Then he sat down, summoned the Twelve, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to be first, he must become the last of all and the servant of all.” God is not human, that he should lie,
or the son of man, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act,
does he promise and then not fulfill it? I will offer praise to you, O Lord,
with my whole heart;
I will recount all your wondrous deeds. I urge you, brethren, to watch out for those who incite dissensions and obstacles in opposition to the teaching that you have learned. Take care to avoid them. Therefore, we can say with confidence:
“The Lord is my helper;
I will not be afraid.
What can anyone do to me?” Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips
and from deceitful tongues. This is how everyone will know
that you are my disciples:
if you love one another. So we must not fall asleep as the others do, but we must stay alert and sober. This is the end of my teaching.
All has been heard.
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for that is the responsibility of everyone. You shall serve the Lord, your God. He will bless your bread and water and take away sickness from your midst. Blessed be the God,
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in Christ
with every spiritual blessing in the heavens. The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in kindness. Do not love the world
or what is in the world.
If anyone does love the world,
the love of the Father is not in him. They answered, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, and so too will your household.” The tongue of the just man is like pure silver;
the heart of the wicked is without worth. But the Almighty we cannot find;
he is unequaled in power and judgment,
and in his righteousness he will not violate justice. No one should seek his own advantage in preference to that of his neighbor. The misfortunes of the righteous man are many,
but the Lord delivers him, from all of them. Rejoice always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. The fear of others will prove to be a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is secure. Arise and shine forth, for your light has come
and the glory of the Lord has dawned upon you. Our temporary light afflictions are preparing for us an incomparable weight of eternal glory. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
and let your glory shine over all the earth. But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid! I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised, as he promised he would be. Come and see the place where he lay.” For it has been granted you not only to believe in Christ but also to suffer for him. He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live in righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. Help us, O God, our Savior,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us and wipe away our sins
for your name’s sake. Do not be deceived; God cannot be mocked. A person will reap only what he sows. 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.Next verse!With image
