Beleza
A verdadeira beleza vem de dentro. A Bíblia ensina que o encanto é enganoso e a formosura é vã, mas a mulher que teme ao Senhor — essa sim merece louvor.
Charm can be deceiving,
and beauty fades away,
but a woman
who honors the Lord
deserves to be praised.
Don’t depend on things like fancy hairdos or gold jewelry or expensive clothes to make you look beautiful. Be beautiful in your heart by being gentle and quiet. This kind of beauty will last, and God considers it very special.
But the Lord told him, "Samuel, don’t think Eliab is the one just because he’s tall and handsome. He isn’t the one I’ve chosen. People judge others by what they look like, but I judge people by what is in their hearts."
I would like for women to wear modest and sensible clothes. They should not have fancy hairdos, or wear expensive clothes, or put on jewelry made of gold or pearls. Women who claim to love God should do helpful things for others,
You are the one
who put me together
inside my mother’s body,
and I praise you because of
the wonderful way
you created me.
Everything you do is marvelous!
Of this I have no doubt.
My darling, you are lovely
in every way.
So God created humans to be like himself; he made men and women.
God planned for us to do good things and to live as he has always wanted us to live. This is why he sent Christ to make us what we are.
Jerusalem, stand up! Shine!
Your new day is dawning.
The glory of the Lord
shines brightly on you.
Flowers and grass fade away,
but what our God has said
will never change.
We never give up. Our bodies are gradually dying, but we ourselves are being made stronger each day.
I tell you not to worry about your life. Don’t worry about having something to eat, drink, or wear. Isn’t life more than food or clothing?
