Chinese (traditional)Amen, amen, I say to you,
whoever receives the one I send
receives me,
and whoever receives me
receives the one who sent me. Every good act of giving and every perfect gift are from above, coming down from the Father of all light. With him there is no alteration or shadow caused by change. To do what is right and just
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. However, the Lord is faithful. He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. Then he said to all who were with him, “Anyone who wishes to follow me must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.” Your statutes are my everlasting heritage;
they are the very joy of my heart. If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person. For the temple of God is holy, and you are that temple. No one has ever seen God,
but if we love one another,
God abides in us,
and his love is made complete in us. A man’s ways may seem right to him,
but the Lord weighs the heart. Let what you heard from the beginning
remain in you.
If what you heard from the beginning
remains in you,
then you will remain in the Son
and in the Father. And a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Surely God is my helper;
the Lord is the one who sustains me. When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all assembled together in one place. Suddenly, there came from heaven a sound similar to that of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were sitting. And when he comes,
he will prove the world wrong
about sin and righteousness and judgment. What god can compare with you,
the God who takes away guilt
and forgives the transgressions
of the remnant of your people?
You will not allow your anger to fester forever,
for your delight is in bestowing mercy. However, if we confess our sins,
he who is faithful and just
will forgive our sins
and cleanse us from all wrongdoing. So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. In my anguish I cried out to the Lord
and called to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears. When you call out to me and come forth and pray to me, I will listen to you. All of these were constantly engaged in prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. The hope of the righteous brings them joy,
but the expectations of the wicked are frustrated. Behold, he is coming with the clouds;
every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him.
All the peoples of the earth will mourn him.
So shall it be. Amen. After he said this, he was lifted up as they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight. I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah You believe that there is one God. You do well to assert that. But even the demons believe and tremble. For we are not struggling against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, the powers, and the cosmic rulers of this present darkness, and against the spirits of evil in the heavens. The fear of others will prove to be a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is secure. But without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever comes to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them. For it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.” As a father has compassion for his children,
so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him. Do not work for food that perishes
but for the food that endures for eternal life,
which the Son of Man will give you.
For it is on him
that God the Father has set his seal. He did not spare his own Son but gave him up for all of us. How then can he fail also to give us everything else along with him? Jesus replied, “Did I not tell you that if you have faith you will see the glory of God?”Next verse!With image
