Chinese (traditional)But you, O Lord, reign forever;
your throne endures from age to age. The Lord has told you, O man, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
Only this: to do what is right, to show mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God. Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments and how unfathomable his ways! This is how everyone will know
that you are my disciples:
if you love one another. I will offer praise to you, O Lord,
with my whole heart;
I will recount all your wondrous deeds. Rejoice always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. And when he had been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him. Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting,
but the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. This is the end of my teaching.
All has been heard.
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for that is the responsibility of everyone. However, whoever lives by the truth
comes to the light
so that it may be clearly seen
that his deeds have been done in God. But you, O Lord, are a shield to protect me;
you are my glory and the one who raises my head high. If the world hates you,
be aware that it hated me
before it hated you. What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his very life? Or what can he give in exchange for his life? A truthful witness does not lie,
but a false witness lies incessantly. And anyone who does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Do not love the world
or what is in the world.
If anyone does love the world,
the love of the Father is not in him. And so does kindness, O Lord.
You reward each person
in accordance with his deeds. Hence, be subject to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Can someone hide in a secret place
so that I cannot see him?
Do I not fill heaven and earth? No one should seek his own advantage in preference to that of his neighbor. Faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the conviction about things that cannot be seen. He will not permit your foot to stumble;
he who guards you will not fall asleep. For Christ is the fulfillment of the Law for the justification of all who believe. He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live in righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. Because the sentence for committing an evil act is not carried out quickly, people’s hearts are prone to act wickedly. In the same way, even the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs that cannot be put into words. Our temporary light afflictions are preparing for us an incomparable weight of eternal glory. No one who conceals his transgressions will prosper,
but one who confesses and renounces them will obtain mercy. Be on your guard that you do not lose what we have worked to accomplish so that you will receive your reward in full. In love there is no fear;
indeed, perfect love casts out fear,
because fear has to do with punishment,
and whoever fears
has not yet achieved perfection in love. To him all the Prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins through his name.
