Amor próprio
O amor próprio saudável reconhece o valor que Deus nos deu. Fomos criados à imagem de Deus, maravilhosamente formados. Aceitar-se é honrar o Criador.
I will praise youi; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvelous [are] youri works; and [that] my soul knows right well.
How precious also are youri thoughts unto me, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]! how great is the sum of them!
[If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with youi.
When I consider youri heavens, the work of youri fingers, the moon and the stars, which youi have ordained;
What is man, that youi are mindful of him? and the son of man, that youi visit him?
For youi have made him a little lower than the Angels [in Hebrew: A little lower than Elohim/God], and have crowned him with glory and honour.
He raises up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifts the needy out of the dunghill;
That he may set [him] with princes, [even] with the princes of his people.
But the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto Sh’mu’el [His name is El], Look not on his Countenance (Face, appearance; show favor), or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) sees] not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) looks on the heart.
But you2f [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar (particular; special; one’s own) people; that you2f should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God-Theos?
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you2f are of more value than many sparrows.
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God-The Father has dealt to every man the measure of faith.
