A palavra
A Palavra de Deus é viva, eficaz e mais cortante que espada de dois gumes. Ela é lâmpada, alimento e purificação — tudo o que o cristão precisa para viver e crescer em fé.
God’s word is alive and powerful! It is sharper than any double-edged sword. His word can cut through our spirits and souls and through our joints and marrow, until it discovers the desires and thoughts of our hearts.
I treasure your word
above all else;
it keeps me from sinning
against you.
Understanding your word
brings light to the minds
of ordinary people.
In the beginning was the one
who is called the Word.
The Word was with God
and was truly God.
The Word became
a human being
and lived here with us.
We saw his true glory,
the glory of the only Son
of the Father.
From him the complete gifts
of undeserved grace and truth
have come down to us.
The Spirit is the one who gives life! Human strength can do nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are from that life-giving Spirit.
You are already clean because of what I have said to you.
Jesus answered, "The Scriptures say:
‘No one can live only on food.
People need every word
that God has spoken.’ "
The sky and the earth won’t last forever, but my words will.
Do your best to win God’s approval as a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed and who teaches only the true message.
Be like newborn babies who are thirsty for the pure spiritual milk that will help you grow and be saved.
