Chinese (traditional)Then the disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed— for until then they still hadn’t understood the Scriptures that said Jesus must rise from the dead. God blesses those who mourn,
for they will be comforted. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. After supper he took another cup of wine and said, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood, which is poured out as a sacrifice for you.” Yes, I came from the Father into the world, and now I will leave the world and return to the Father. Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life. The Lord is my strength and shield.
I trust him with all my heart.
He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.
I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. Rejoice, O people of Zion!
Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem!
Look, your king is coming to you.
He is righteous and victorious,
yet he is humble, riding on a donkey—
riding on a donkey’s colt. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you. The Lord is good,
a strong refuge when trouble comes.
He is close to those who trust in him. So let’s stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. Oh, what joy for those
whose disobedience is forgiven,
whose sin is put out of sight! Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You will keep in perfect peace
all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.” Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear. Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life. Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us. He will judge everyone according to what they have done. My child, never forget the things I have taught you.
Store my commands in your heart.
If you do this, you will live many years,
and your life will be satisfying. Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them. Do you think that I like to see wicked people die? says the Sovereign Lord. Of course not! I want them to turn from their wicked ways and live. Arise, O Lord!
Punish the wicked, O God!
Do not ignore the helpless! Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged;
parents are the pride of their children. As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.” So God created human beings in his own image.
In the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them. I take joy in doing your will, my God,
for your instructions are written on my heart. Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful. If you return to him, he will not continue to turn his face from you.Next verse!With image
