Chinese (traditional)For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind. Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom.
Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment. May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s holy people. Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.” You have given me your shield of victory.
Your right hand supports me;
your help has made me great.
You have made a wide path for my feet
to keep them from slipping. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all! The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich,
and he adds no sorrow with it. God alone, who gave the law, is the Judge. He alone has the power to save or to destroy. So what right do you have to judge your neighbor? So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom. Keep me safe, O God,
for I have come to you for refuge. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord. Evil people get rich for the moment,
but the reward of the godly will last. I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust him, and he will help you.
He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds. For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! Mark out a straight path for your feet;
stay on the safe path. And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their fellow believers. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! I praise God for what he has promised.
I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me? And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness. May God give you more and more mercy, peace, and love. A fool is quick-tempered,
but a wise person stays calm when insulted. But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats. So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today. Hear my prayer, O Lord;
listen to my plea!
Answer me because you are faithful and righteous. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth. Deceit fills hearts that are plotting evil;
joy fills hearts that are planning peace! For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.Next verse!With image
