Chinese (traditional)Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him. So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. Those who listen to instruction will prosper;
those who trust the Lord will be joyful. You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. You who love the Lord, hate evil!
He protects the lives of his godly people
and rescues them from the power of the wicked. For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says,
‘The stone that you builders rejected
has now become the cornerstone.’ For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building. The greater my wisdom, the greater my grief.
To increase knowledge only increases sorrow. For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do. A single day in your courts
is better than a thousand anywhere else!
I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God
than live the good life in the homes of the wicked. And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many. Work brings profit,
but mere talk leads to poverty! May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord. Asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless. This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another. But if wicked people turn away from all their sins and begin to obey my decrees and do what is just and right, they will surely live and not die. The Lord merely spoke,
and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
and all the stars were born. For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God. But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
and he will stand upon the earth at last. And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God. So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,
for I am trusting you.
Show me where to walk,
for I give myself to you. He is the one all the prophets testified about, saying that everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name. Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.Next verse!With image
