Alma
A alma é a parte mais íntima do ser humano — sede da vida, dos afetos e do encontro com Deus. A Bíblia convida a cuidar da alma com zelo e a aquietá-la diante do Senhor.
A alma diante de Deus
Bendize ao Senhor, ó minha alma! A alma suspira por Deus como a corça suspira pelas águas — com sede de eternidade.
A psalm of David. My soul, bless thou the Lord, and all things that be within me, bless his holy name.
The psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Judah. God, my God, I wake to thee full early. My soul thirsted to thee; my flesh thirsted to thee full manyfold. In a land forsaken without way, and without water,
My soul, why art thou sorry; and why troublest thou me? Hope thou in God, for yet I shall acknowledge to him; he is the health of my cheer, and my God.
To victory, over Jeduthun, the psalm of David. Whether my soul shall not be subject to God; for mine health is of him.
and, Lord, for thy law I abode thee. My soul sustained in his word;
My lips shall make fully joy [or full out joy], when I shall sing to thee; and my soul, which thou again-boughtest.
The law of the Lord is without wem, and converteth souls; the wit-nessing of the Lord is faithful, and giveth wisdom to little, either meek, children.
For thou haddest in possession my reins; thou tookest me up from the womb of my mother.
I shall acknowledge to thee, for thou art magnified dreadfully; thy works be wonderful, and my soul shall know that full much.
Lord, deliver thou my soul from wicked lips; and from a guileful tongue.
Cuidar da alma
Que aproveita ao homem ganhar o mundo inteiro e perder a sua alma? Buscar a Deus de toda alma é o caminho da vida.
For what profiteth it to a man [or what profiteth to a man], if he win all the world, and suffer impairing of his soul? or what exchanging shall a man give for his soul?
Jesus said to him, Thou shalt love thy Lord God [or the Lord thy God], of all thine heart, and in all thy soul, and in all thy mind.
And do not ye dread them that slay the body; for they may not slay the soul; but rather dread ye him, that may lose both soul and body into hell.
And when thou hast sought there thy Lord God, thou shalt find him; if nevertheless thou seekest him with all thy heart, and with all the tribulation of thy soul.
so only that ye keep busily, and [ful] fill in work the commandment and [the] law, which law Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded to you; that ye love your Lord God, and go in all his ways, and keep his behests, and cleave to him, and serve him in all your heart, and in all your soul.
Lo! I enter today into the way of all earth, for soon I shall die, as each man shall; and ye shall know with all soul, that of all [the] words which the Lord promised himself to give to you, not one passed by in vain.
ye shall seek me, and ye shall find, when ye seek me in all your heart.
The Lord saith these things, Stand ye on ways, and see ye, and ask ye of [the] eld [or old] paths, which is the good way; and go ye therein, and ye shall find refreshing to your souls. And they said, We shall not go.
Words well-set together is a comb of honey; health of bones is the sweetness of soul.
Most dear brother, of all things I make prayer, that thou enter, and fare wealfully, as thy soul doeth wealfully.
