Chinese (traditional)The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers. Honor widows who are truly widows. Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but he who hates reproof is stupid. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin. Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents. And I shall walk in a wide place,
for I have sought your precepts. For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: “Seek me and live.” In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace. The one who conceals hatred has lying lips,
and whoever utters slander is a fool. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” As he came from his mother's womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil that he may carry away in his hand. I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope. Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. A wise son makes a glad father,
but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother. And it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to do all this commandment before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us. But if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths. Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
but those who plan peace have joy.
