Chinese (traditional)- One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.
- The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife.
- The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
- My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
- I made a covenant with my eyes
not to look lustfully at a young woman. - If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
- Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise.
- Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.
- Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower.
- However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
- You are to be holy to me because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own.
- I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.
- For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
- Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
- This, then, is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.’ - Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
- For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
- Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident. - The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid? - A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
- He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
- In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
- What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them? - For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
- I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.Who is he, this King of glory?
The Lord Almighty—
he is the King of glory. You, God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.Next verse!With image
