People who speak chinese...please help

My friend visited China and bought me three scrolls that have some Chinese words on them. Im guessing they mean "Good Luck, Wellness" etc. I need someone to translate the words for me. Id really appreciate it.

You are in the Japanese forum. If you had Japanese text I could get my wife to help you, but Chinese kanji and Japanese kanji have different meanings. Sorry.

+1 Chinese and Japanese use the same basic characters but have whole different applications (relative to how English and Spanish both use a Latin derived alphabet but come out to be completely different languages).
but since i do know a little bit of Chinese i'll do my best:
1. 安(Pinyin: An; English: Peace, quiet)- 平安是福(Ping An Shi Fu; Peace/wellness is fortune)
安安平安(An An Ping An; peace/wellness)
2. 福(Fu; luck, fortune)- no clue what this one says
百福駢臻(Bai Fu Pian Zhen; )
3. 情(Qing; love, affection)- 情竟深長(Qing Jing Shen Chang; Affection is profound)
真情永遠(Zhen Qing Yong Yuan; True feelings/love is forever)

i'm no expert as you can see but i hope this helps
