Chinese (traditional)For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen. Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your right hand supported me,
and your gentleness made me great.
You gave a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. The blessing of the Lord makes rich,
and he adds no sorrow with it. There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor? Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. The wicked earns deceptive wages,
but one who sows righteousness gets a sure reward. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
and your justice as the noonday. Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. Ponder the path of your feet;
then all your ways will be sure. And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother. But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me? And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. The vexation of a fool is known at once,
but the prudent ignores an insult. But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Hear my prayer, O Lord;
give ear to my pleas for mercy!
In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness! Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
but those who plan peace have joy. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.Next verse!With image
