Chinese (traditional)Be strong and courageous in your hearts,
all you who place your hope in the Lord. May the Lord, our God, be with us, just as he was with our fathers; may he not leave us or abandon us. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his very life? A cheerful heart is excellent medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Therefore, you have no excuse, whoever you may be, when you pass judgment on others. For in judging others you condemn yourself, since you are doing the same things. For the grace of God has appeared bringing salvation to the entire human race. It teaches us to reject godless ways and worldly desires, and in the present age to lead lives that are temperate, just, and godly. This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us exult and rejoice in it. As sorrowful, and yet we are always rejoicing; as poor, and yet we make many rich; as having nothing, and yet we possess everything. May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. A true friend is one at all times,
and a brother is born to render help in time of need. And where a single man can be overcome,
two together will be able to resist.
A cord with three strands is not easily broken. You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, what can be done to make it salty once again? It is no longer good for anything, and thus it is cast out and trampled underfoot. Place your hope in the Lord:
be strong and courageous in your heart,
and place your hope in the Lord. I will give you a new heart and place a new spirit within you. I will remove from your body a heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh in its place. When Jesus heard this, he said, “Do not be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be saved.” A wholesome tongue is a tree of life,
but an undisciplined tongue crushes the spirit. And just as no human being comprehends any person’s innermost being except the person’s own spirit within him, so also no one comprehends what pertains to God except the Spirit of God. I will put my Spirit in you and make you follow my statutes and my ordinances. The way of God is blameless,
and the Lord’s promise proves true;
he is a shield to all
who flee to him for safety. Jesus replied,
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
no one can see the kingdom of God
without being born from above.” Like newborn infants, long for pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may advance on the path to salvation. The upright are guarded by their integrity;
the treacherous are destroyed by their own duplicity. When Jesus heard this, he said, “It is not the healthy who need a physician, but rather those who are sick.” Through faith you are all children of God in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves in Christ. I keep the Lord always before me,
for with him at my right hand
I will never fall. Wealth and honor are from you,
you reign over all.
In your hand are power and might;
it to is in your hand make great and to give strength to all. Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of your opportunity. Let your speech always be gracious and seasoned with wisdom, so that you will know how to respond properly to all. When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it, for God has no pleasure in fools. Fulfill the vow you have made. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Therefore, we fasted and prayed to God to grant us a safe journey, and he answered our prayer. The righteous call out, and the Lord hears them;
he rescues them from all their troubles.
The Lord remains close to the brokenhearted,
and he saves those whose spirit is crushed. Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,
but those who counsel peace have joy. Arise and shine forth, for your light has come
and the glory of the Lord has dawned upon you.Next verse!With image
