Chinese (traditional)But test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken. I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;
bind them around your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favor and good success
in the sight of God and man. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. But let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. Lead me in your truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all the day long. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts;
his name is the Lord;
exult before him!
Father of the fatherless and protector of widows
is God in his holy habitation. But they who wait for the Lord
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint. But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life;
he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. I will extol you, my God and King,
and bless your name forever and ever. Because you are precious in my eyes,
and honored, and I love you,
I give men in return for you,
peoples in exchange for your life. Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger. Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding,
but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. I have chosen the way of faithfulness;
I set your rules before me. For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts. Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him. And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge. Blessed are those who mourn,
for they shall be comforted. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.
