Chinese (traditional)Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do!
And whatever else you do, develop good judgment. Don’t you realize that I could ask my Father for thousands of angels to protect us, and he would send them instantly? So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. As a face is reflected in water,
so the heart reflects the real person. What are you waiting for? Get up and be baptized. Have your sins washed away by calling on the name of the Lord. For,
There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father. O Israel, my faithless people,
come home to me again,
for I am merciful.
I will not be angry with you forever. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. For you bless the godly, O Lord;
you surround them with your shield of love. Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him.” No one is holy like the Lord!
There is no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God. He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world. Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
May your gracious Spirit lead me forward
on a firm footing. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people. He reveals deep and mysterious things
and knows what lies hidden in darkness,
though he is surrounded by light. After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness. But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you. You are my rock and my fortress.
For the honor of your name, lead me out of this danger. He proclaimed his covenant—the Ten Commandments—which he commanded you to keep, and which he wrote on two stone tablets. But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. Deceit fills hearts that are plotting evil;
joy fills hearts that are planning peace! For the Lord your God is living among you.
He is a mighty savior.
He will take delight in you with gladness.
With his love, he will calm all your fears.
He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.Next verse!With image
