Chinese (traditional)For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed. The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom.
The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen. Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.” You have also given me the shield of your salvation.
Your right hand sustains me.
Your gentleness has made me great.
You have enlarged my steps under me,
My feet have not slipped. If I give away all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing. Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits. Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth,
and he adds no trouble to it. Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another? Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you. God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Wicked people earn deceitful wages,
but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward. I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full. Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness. Commit your way to Yahweh.
Trust also in him, and he will do this:
he will make your righteousness shine out like light,
and your justice as the noon day sun. Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work. For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. Make the path of your feet level.
Let all of your ways be established. This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother. But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you. In God, I praise his word.
In God, I put my trust.
I will not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me? Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. A fool shows his annoyance the same day,
but one who overlooks an insult is prudent. But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.” Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient. Hear my prayer, Yahweh.
Listen to my petitions.
In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me. Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth. Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,
but joy comes to the promoters of peace.
