Chinese (traditional)Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace among those whom he favors! God abides in those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God, and they abide in God. And whoever does not provide for relatives, and especially for family members, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and prosper for us the work of our hands—
O prosper the work of our hands! Pay to all what is due them—taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due. But those who want to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. God, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
and makes me tread upon the heights. For nothing will be impossible with God. 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. I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer,
my God, my rock in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful. Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil. You must diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his decrees, and his statutes that he has commanded you. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it. Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his steadfast love. For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain. So that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints. It is a snare for one to say rashly, “It is holy,”
and begin to reflect only after making a vow. For it is written,
“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall give praise to God.” So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to you,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Only fear the Lord, and serve him faithfully with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you. Righteousness exalts a nation,
but sin is a reproach to any people. Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus answered them, “Very truly, I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin.” Our steps are made firm by the Lord,
when he delights in our way. So that, just as sin exercised dominion in death, so grace might also exercise dominion through justification leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. His divine power has given us everything needed for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors. Deceit is in the mind of those who plan evil,
but those who counsel peace have joy.
