Chinese (traditional)- So today acknowledge it and take it to heart that the Lord is God in the heavens above and on the earth below. There is no other.
- Therefore, I say to you: ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
- He who called you is holy. Therefore, be holy yourselves in all your conduct. For Scripture says, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
- You must understand, brethren, that it is through him that forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you. All those who believe are justified from all the things from which they could not be justified by the Law of Moses.
- Now, if you will obey my voice and keep my covenant, you will be my own possession from among all the peoples, for the entire earth is mine.
- Now in regard to the eating of meat sacrificed to idols, we know that idols are nothing in the world and that there is only one God.
- You shall observe my commandments and obey them. I am the Lord.
- In everything, deal with others as you would like them to deal with you. This is the Law and the Prophets.
- Therefore, take care to live as intelligent people, and do not be like those who are senseless. Make the most of the present time, for this is a wicked age.
- For this reason, I rejoice when I endure weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and distress for the sake of Christ. For it is when I am weak that I am strong.
- But he answered me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” Hence, I will boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell within me.
- Therefore, whenever you give alms, do not trumpet your generosity, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets in order to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have already received their reward.
- Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from anything that can defile flesh or spirit, and thereby make our holiness perfect in the fear of God.
- Therefore, the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from their trials and to hold the wicked for punishment until the Day of Judgment.
- As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
- You are truly my rock and my fortress;
for the sake of your name, lead and guide me. - When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
- The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart places its trust in him.
He has helped me, and I exult;
then with my song I praise him. - Because the sentence for committing an evil act is not carried out quickly, people’s hearts are prone to act wickedly.
- How great you are, Lord God! There is no one like you, and there is no God except you alone, as everything that we have heard confirms.
- For no one can be regarded as justified in the sight of God by keeping the Law. The Law brings only the consciousness of sin.
- While Peter was thus imprisoned, the Church prayed fervently to God for him.
- I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, says the Lord God. Repent and live!
- So we must not fall asleep as the others do, but we must stay alert and sober.
- The Lord God said, “Behold, man has become like one of us, for he has knowledge of that which is good and that which is evil. Now, we must prevent him from reaching out and taking the fruit of the tree of life lest he eat it and live forever.” The Lord God cast him out of the Garden of Eden; henceforth he was to labor tilling the soil from which he had come.
O Lord, all my longing is known to you,
and my sighs are not hidden from you.
