Chinese (traditional)For the Lord grants wisdom!
From his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! Come, let us worship and bow down.
Let us kneel before the Lord our maker. How great you are, O Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you. We have never even heard of another God like you! No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you. He guards the paths of the just
and protects those who are faithful to him. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified. Taste and see that the Lord is good.
Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me!” Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. First, help me never to tell a lie.
Second, give me neither poverty nor riches!
Give me just enough to satisfy my needs. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord. I cried out, “I am slipping!”
but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death. “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.
“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.” You must not covet your neighbor’s house. You must not covet your neighbor’s wife, male or female servant, ox or donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbor. For the Lord gave us this command when he said,
‘I have made you a light to the Gentiles,
to bring salvation to the farthest corners of the earth.’ The Lord is close to all who call on him,
yes, to all who call on him in truth. See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him. Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you. True humility and fear of the Lord
lead to riches, honor, and long life. And may the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow and overflow, just as our love for you overflows. But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say,
‘People do not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down.
The Lord loves the godly. He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen. Work hard and become a leader;
be lazy and become a slave. Deceit fills hearts that are plotting evil;
joy fills hearts that are planning peace!
