Chinese (traditional)Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what such people do secretly. O Lord, you have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from far away. Indeed, we live as human beings, but we do not wage war according to human standards. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Until a spirit from on high is poured out on us,
and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field is deemed a forest. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever. Put to death, therefore, whatever in you is earthly: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry). Let us test and examine our ways,
and return to the Lord. And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. O give thanks to the Lord, call on his name,
make known his deeds among the peoples. So I will display my greatness and my holiness and make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. The one who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? What then? Should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Blessed be the Lord,
who daily bears us up;
God is our salvation. Selah Some judge one day to be better than another, while others judge all days to be alike. Let all be fully convinced in their own minds. Do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
but those who act faithfully are his delight. As servants of God, live as free people, yet do not use your freedom as a pretext for evil. If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way. When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you, to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways. Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
when it is in your power to do it. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin. Take words with you
and return to the Lord;
say to him,
“Take away all guilt;
accept that which is good,
and we will offer
the fruit of our lips.” So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name. Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.Next verse!With image
