Chinese (traditional)The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end. Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand on the path of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers. Honor widows who are widows indeed. Preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching. Whoever loves correction loves knowledge,
but he who hates reproof is stupid. Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions, so iniquity will not be your ruin. Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting. I will walk in liberty,
for I have sought your precepts. For Yahweh says to the house of Israel:
“Seek me, and you will live.” In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace. He who hides hatred has lying lips.
He who utters a slander is a fool. What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a right spirit within me. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me. For of him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen. Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it. Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. For you, God, have tested us.
You have refined us, as silver is refined. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.” As he came out of his mother’s womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand. I wait for Yahweh.
My soul waits.
I hope in his word. Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again. And hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. A wise son makes a glad father;
but a foolish son brings grief to his mother. It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all these commandments before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Show me your ways, Yahweh.
Teach me your paths. Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,
but joy comes to the promoters of peace.
