Chinese (traditional)And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. But I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me a fortress
and a refuge in the day of my distress. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Remove vexation from your heart, and put away pain from your body, for youth and the dawn of life are vanity. Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God. Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows. For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked, what is perverse. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. The Lord redeems the life of his servants;
none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned. But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me. And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. I have not departed from the commandment of his lips;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food. Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name! But as for me, I will look to the Lord;
I will wait for the God of my salvation;
my God will hear me. The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
but those who plan peace have joy. Can a woman forget her nursing child,
that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.
Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.Next verse!With image
