Chinese (traditional)Do not swerve to the right or to the left;
turn your foot away from evil. This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. But godliness with contentment is great gain. The sum of your word is truth,
and every one of your righteous rules endures forever. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.” But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. Restore us, O Lord God of hosts!
Let your face shine, that we may be saved! In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;
whoever is discerning, let him know them;
for the ways of the Lord are right,
and the upright walk in them,
but transgressors stumble in them. I hasten and do not delay
to keep your commandments. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? Say not, “Why were the former days better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask this. Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when brothers dwell in unity! So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church. He said, “Then put away the foreign gods that are among you, and incline your heart to the Lord, the God of Israel.” A dishonest man spreads strife,
and a whisperer separates close friends. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
the Lord answered me and set me free. And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. Do not toil to acquire wealth;
be discerning enough to desist. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being. You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually! Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
but those who plan peace have joy.
