Chinese (traditional)The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,
and whatever else you get, get insight. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. I will both lie down and sleep in peace;
for you alone, O Lord, make me lie down in safety. Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you. Bear fruit worthy of repentance. Just as water reflects the face,
so one human heart reflects another. And now why do you delay? Get up, be baptized, and have your sins washed away, calling on his name. For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human. You show me the path of life.
In your presence there is fullness of joy;
in your right hand are pleasures forevermore. But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. Return, faithless Israel,
says the Lord.
I will not look on you in anger,
for I am merciful,
says the Lord;
I will not be angry forever. I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. For you bless the righteous, O Lord;
you cover them with favor as with a shield. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have stripped off the old self with its practices and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator. But, as it is written,
“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
nor the human heart conceived,
what God has prepared for those who love him” There is no Holy One like the Lord,
no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God. And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
Let your good spirit lead me
on a level path. Since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what is in the darkness,
and light dwells with him. When they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. You are indeed my rock and my fortress;
for your name's sake lead me and guide me. He declared to you his covenant, which he charged you to observe, that is, the ten commandments; and he wrote them on two stone tablets. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy. Deceit is in the mind of those who plan evil,
but those who counsel peace have joy. Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and of spirit, making holiness perfect in the fear of God.Next verse!With image
