Chinese (traditional)Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
all you who wait for the Lord! The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. May he not leave us or forsake us. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age. This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it. As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything. Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all. A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for adversity. And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken. You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord! And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. But Jesus on hearing this answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well.” A gentle tongue is a tree of life,
but perverseness in it breaks the spirit. For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation. The integrity of the upright guides them,
but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.” For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. I have set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. When you vow a vow to God, do not delay paying it, for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you vow. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. So we fasted and implored our God for this, and he listened to our entreaty. When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
and saves the crushed in spirit. Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
but those who plan peace have joy. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.Next verse!With image
