Admiração
O temor do Senhor é o princípio da sabedoria. A admiração reverente por Deus é a postura que produz conhecimento, obediência e bênção na vida do crente.
The fear of the Lordis the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
"The fear of the Lordis the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
The fear of the Lordis the instruction of wisdom,
And before honor is humility.
Better is a little with the fear of the Lord,
Than great treasure with trouble.
The fear of the Lordis to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the perverse mouth I hate.
By humility and the fear of the Lord
Are riches and honor and life.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
It will be health to your flesh,
And strength to your bones.
Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man’s all.
The fear of the Lordis the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do Hiscommandments.
His praise endures forever.
The Blessed State of the Righteous
Praise the Lord!
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Whodelights greatly in His commandments.
Blessings of Those Who Fear the Lord
Blessed is every one who fears the Lord,
Who walks in His ways.
Behold, the eye of the Lordis on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,
God shall bless us,
And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.
But to you who fear My name
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out
And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
The Essence of the Law
"And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today for your good?
You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him.
And so it was, because the midwives feared God, that He provided households for them.
Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes aredue, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.
"To him who is afflicted, kindness shouldbeshown by his friend,
Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
