Chinese (traditional)But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first. Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit,
but righteousness delivers from death. You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for your goodness' sake, O Lord! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit. The human mind plans the way,
but the Lord directs the steps. Therefore keep the commandments of the Lord your God, by walking in his ways and by fearing him. If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If the member listens to you, you have regained that one. What are human beings that you are mindful of them,
mortals that you care for them? Ah Lord God! It is you who made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
the righteous run into it and are safe. The end of all things is near; therefore be serious and discipline yourselves for the sake of your prayers. Pursue peace with everyone, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. For the word of the Lord is upright,
and all his work is done in faithfulness. God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Be strong and bold; have no fear or dread of them, because it is the Lord your God who goes with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Better is a little with righteousness
than large income with injustice. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. See, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too hard for me? For, while physical training is of some value, godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously;
let this be known in all the earth. No one who denies the Son has the Father; everyone who confesses the Son has the Father also. Just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many. The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid? I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. The Rock, his work is perfect,
and all his ways are just.
A faithful God, without deceit,
just and upright is he. Deceit is in the mind of those who plan evil,
but those who counsel peace have joy. But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.Next verse!With image
