Chinese (traditional)- I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
- Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
- Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.
- One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple. - If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
- I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
- I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong— that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.
- I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
- But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.
- But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing the Lord’s praise,
for he has been good to me. - I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
- “Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the Lord.
“Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord. - And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
- For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
- When I said, “My foot is slipping,”
your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. - Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me. - I rejoice in following your statutes
as one rejoices in great riches. - My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
- You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am.
- Keep my commands and follow them. I am the Lord.
- But I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble. - My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praise to you—
I whom you have delivered. - Since you are precious and honored in my sight,
and because I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you,
nations in exchange for your life. - I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
- I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
