Chinese (traditional)Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. People with integrity walk safely,
but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed. This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. From the depths of despair, O Lord,
I call for your help.
Hear my cry, O Lord.
Pay attention to my prayer. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. Some people are always greedy for more,
but the godly love to give! Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. I don’t want you to die, says the Sovereign Lord. Turn back and live! Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
but to your name goes all the glory
for your unfailing love and faithfulness. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else. All who fear the Lord will hate evil.
Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance,
corruption and perverse speech. Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. Though a mighty army surrounds me,
my heart will not be afraid.
Even if I am attacked,
I will remain confident. God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful. And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. For the Lord is our judge,
our lawgiver, and our king.
He will care for us and save us. The Lord will stay with you as long as you stay with him! Whenever you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you. Stay on the path that the Lord your God has commanded you to follow. Then you will live long and prosperous lives in the land you are about to enter and occupy. For he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things. So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me. Pride leads to disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom. Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me.” Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses. He loves whatever is just and good;
the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth. “I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One.” Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.Next verse!With image
