Chinese (traditional)Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice,
for they will have their fill. I am not asking you
to take them out of the world,
but I do ask you
to protect them from the evil one. Remain sober and alert, for your enemy the devil is on the prowl like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Dispose my heart to follow your statutes
and to flee selfish gain. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. No, throughout all these things we are conquerors because of him who loved us. It is honorable to avoid strife,
but every fool is quarrelsome. He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” If you heed the voice of the Lord, your God, and you carefully observe all of the commandments that I have given you today, then the Lord, your God, will lift you up above all the other nations upon the earth. How can a young man lead a spotless life?
By living according to your word. For everything that is in the world—
the concupiscence of the flesh,
the concupiscence of the eyes,
and the pride of life—
comes not from the Father
but from the world. He has rescued us from the power of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Give us this day our daily bread. Therefore, put on the armor of God, so that you will be able to hold fast on the evil day and to hold your ground with all your strength. Indeed, persecution will afflict all who want to lead a godly life in Christ Jesus. Entrust your cares to the Lord,
and he will uphold you;
he will never allow the righteous to waver. Although you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with a joy that is indescribable and glorious. For you are achieving the goal of your faith, that is, the salvation of your souls. Jesus looked at them and said, “For men it is impossible, but not for God. For God all things are possible.” For I, the Lord, am your God
and I grasp your right hand.
It is I who say to you,
Do not fear; I will help you. Everyone who seeks a prize submits himself to rigorous self-discipline in every respect. They do so to win a perishable crown, while we seek an imperishable one. I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you already have so that no one may rob you of your crown. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In his great mercy he has given us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. O Lord, let your kindness rest upon us,
for we have placed our hope in you. Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots to divide his garments. O Lord, at daybreak you hear my voice;
at daybreak I bring my petition before you
and await your reply. The love of money is the root of all evils, and in their desire for it some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many serious wounds. Rather, grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To him be glory both now and for all eternity. Amen. Let my teaching fall down like rain,
and my words descend like the dew.
Like rain upon the sprouts,
and like showers upon the grass. Jesus then said to her,
“I am the resurrection and the life.
Whoever believes in me,
even though he dies, will live,
and everyone who lives
and believes in me
will never die.
Do you believe this?” We know that God makes all things work together for good for those who love him and who are called according to his purpose. To him all the Prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins through his name.
