Chinese (traditional)Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good? He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.” Riches don’t profit in the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from death. Not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking. Yahweh is righteous in all his ways,
and gracious in all his works. For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps. I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Every word of God is flawless.
He is a shield to those who take refuge in him. You shall walk after Yahweh your God, fear him, keep his commandments, and obey his voice. You shall serve him, and cling to him. Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.” I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice,
and my cries for mercy.
Because he has turned his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live. In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yes, God has made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything after him. Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him. “For the mountains may depart,
and the hills be removed,
but my loving kindness will not depart from you,
and my covenant of peace will not be removed,”
says Yahweh who has mercy on you. To whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. Learn to do well.
Seek justice.
Relieve the oppressed.
Defend the fatherless.
Plead for the widow. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.” For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth. I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go.
I will counsel you with my eye on you. But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves. Don’t judge,
and you won’t be judged.
Don’t condemn,
and you won’t be condemned.
Set free,
and you will be set free. Even to old age I am he,
and even to gray hairs I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear.
Yes, I will carry, and will deliver. Don’t let him who eats despise him who doesn’t eat. Don’t let him who doesn’t eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him. For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. Because your loving kindness is better than life,
my lips shall praise you.
So I will bless you while I live.
I will lift up my hands in your name. Not rendering evil for evil or insult for insult; but instead blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,
but joy comes to the promoters of peace. But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.Next verse!With image
