Chinese (traditional)Great peace have those who love your law;
nothing can make them stumble. And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. Let your eyes look directly forward,
and your gaze be straight before you. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of the Lord! God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. For we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life;
he who despises his ways will die. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations. You shall be holy to me, for I the Lord am holy and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be mine. For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine. Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths. Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, and the rich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away. Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. In the way of your testimonies I delight
as much as in all riches. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. A man without self-control
is like a city broken into and left without walls. Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.” So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. Whoever brings blessing will be enriched,
and one who waters will himself be watered. He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.Next verse!With image
