Chinese (traditional)Rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer. So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger. But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength.
They will mount up with wings like eagles.
They will run, and not be weary.
They will walk, and not faint. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. For you will light my lamp, Yahweh.
My God will light up my darkness. For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins. Yahweh, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. You are my hiding place.
You will preserve me from trouble.
You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know. But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation. When I am afraid,
I will put my trust in you. Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. So then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober. The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
like an unscalable wall in his own imagination. For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace. My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth. For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past,
like a watch in the night. You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth. Commit your deeds to Yahweh,
and your plans shall succeed. So that with good courage we say,
“The Lord is my helper. I will not fear.
What can man do to me?” Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart,
when I learn your righteous judgments. But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints. All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins. Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.Next verse!With image
