Chinese (traditional)And now, brethren, farewell. Mend your ways. Encourage one another. Be of one mind and live in peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you. Persevere in prayer, with alert minds and thankful hearts. Let everything that breathes
offer praise to the Lord.
Alleluia. Whoever does not love
does not know God,
because God is love. If someone among you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without finding fault, and it will be given to him. It is better to have a little and fear the Lord
than to possess immense wealth and suffer anguish. Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying:
“To the one seated on the throne
and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might
forever and ever.” Everything that you do should be done in love. And whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it,
the world and all who live in it. God’s love was revealed to us in this way:
God sent his only-begotten Son into the world
so that we might have life through him. I have told you this
so that in me you may be in peace.
In the world
you will endure suffering.
But take courage!
I have overcome the world. Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed;
save me, and I will be saved;
you are the one whom I praise. And the one who searches hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will. Finally, all of you should be united in spirit, sympathetic, filled with love for one another, compassionate, and humble. O God, you are my God,
for whom I have been searching earnestly.
My soul yearns for you
and my body thirsts for you,
like the earth when it is parched,
arid and without water. Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill them. In other words, God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, and not holding people’s transgressions against them, and he committed to us the message of reconciliation. Although it was our afflictions that he bore,
our sufferings that he endured,
we thought of him as stricken,
as struck down by God and afflicted. In it the righteousness of God is revealed, beginning in faith and established in faith. As it is written: “The one who is righteous will live through faith.” Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is close at hand. Then I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I made no attempt to conceal my guilt.
I said, “I will confess my offenses to the Lord,”
and you removed the guilt of my sin. Selah But if we hope for what we do not yet see, then we wait for it with patience. May the Lord guide your hearts to the love of God and the steadfastness of Christ. You will again show us compassion
and wash away our guilt;
you will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea. Take care, brethren, that none of you will ever have an evil and unbelieving heart that will cause you to forsake the living God. The Lord will battle for you. Be calm! The future bodes well for him
who is generous in helping those in need
and who conducts his affairs with justice. Hence, I advise you to be guided by the Spirit, so that you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Thus you could understand that the Lord, your God, was disciplining you, just like a father disciplines his son. Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,
but those who counsel peace have joy. However, the Lord is faithful. He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.Next verse!With image
