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 suitable for its time; moreover he has put a sense of past and future into their minds, yet they cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. Happy are those
who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
or take the path that sinners tread,
or sit in the seat of scoffers. Honor widows who are really widows. Proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching. Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but those who hate to be rebuked are stupid. Repent and turn from all your transgressions; otherwise iniquity will be your ruin. Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. I shall walk at liberty,
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. Lying lips conceal hatred,
and whoever utters slander is a fool. What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? So we have known and believe the love that God has for us.
God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and put a new and right spirit within me. Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you and eat with you, and you with me. For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Not that I am referring to being in need; for I have learned to be content with whatever I have. Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and 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. The scripture says, “No one who believes in him will be put to shame.” As they came from their mother's womb, so they shall go again, naked as they came; they shall take nothing for their toil, which they may carry away with their hands. I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. And hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. A wise child makes a glad father,
but a foolish child is a mother's grief. If we diligently observe this entire commandment before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, we will be in the right. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths. Deceit is in the mind of those who plan evil,
but those who counsel peace have joy. For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.Next verse!With image
