In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

我告诉你们，一个罪人悔改，在神的使者面前也是这样为他欢喜。”

我告诉你们，一个罪人悔改，上帝的使者也是这样为他欢喜。”

我告诉你们，一个罪人悔改，神的使者也是这样为他欢喜。”

我告诉你们，同样，一个罪人悔改，上帝的众天使也会这样为他欢喜。”

我告诉你们，因为一个罪人悔改，神的使者也必这样为他欢乐。”

同样，我告诉你们：一个罪人的悔改，会让神的天使们面前有喜乐。”

我告訴你們，一個罪人悔改，在神的使者面前也是這樣為他歡喜。」

我告訴你們，一個罪人悔改，上帝的使者也是這樣為他歡喜。」

我告訴你們，因為一個罪人悔改，神的使者也必這樣為他歡樂。”

我告訴你們，為了一個罪人悔改，在上帝的使者面前也這樣地有喜樂。』

同樣，我告訴你們：一個罪人的悔改，會讓神的天使們面前有喜樂。」

我語汝、罪人有一改悔者、在上帝使者前、為之喜亦然、○

吾語汝、罪人有一悔改、則在上帝使者前、其喜之亦然、○

我告爾、有一罪人悔改、則在天主使者前、亦為之喜、○

故予語爾、上主之天神、見一罪人回頭、其歡忻雀躍、亦復如是。』

I tell you, it is the same in heaven. There is joy in heaven over one sinner who turns away from sin.”

Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents.”

I tell you, in the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

I tell you, in the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”

Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.

I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

Say to them,‘ As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel?’

Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders.In a loud voice they were saying:“ Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:“ To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”The four living creatures said,“ Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!

One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him and said,“ Cornelius!”Cornelius stared at him in fear.“ What is it, Lord?” he asked. The angel answered,“ Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God.Now send men to Joppa to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter.

In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.

Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven— as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”

I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”

When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying,“ So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”

And when he prayed to him, the Lord was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea; so he brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord is God.Afterward he rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David, west of the Gihon spring in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate and encircling the hill of Ophel; he also made it much higher. He stationed military commanders in all the fortified cities in Judah.He got rid of the foreign gods and removed the image from the temple of the Lord, as well as all the altars he had built on the temple hill and in Jerusalem; and he threw them out of the city.Then he restored the altar of the Lord and sacrificed fellowship offerings and thank offerings on it, and told Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel.The people, however, continued to sacrifice at the high places, but only to the Lord their God.The other events of Manasseh’s reign, including his prayer to his God and the words the seers spoke to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are written in the annals of the kings of Israel.His prayer and how God was moved by his entreaty, as well as all his sins and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself— all these are written in the records of the seers.

“ See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever—

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.( This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)And everyone went to their own town to register.So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.But the angel said to them,“ Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,“ Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out.

The angel said to the women,“ Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.Then go quickly and tell his disciples:‘ He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
