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 deceive, and beauty fades, but a woman who honors the Lord should be praised.
Don't focus on outward attractiveness—hairstyles, gold jewelry, or fashionable clothes— instead let it come from within, the lasting attractiveness of a gentle and peaceful spirit on the inside. That's what God values.
But the Lord said to Samuel, "Don't look at his outward appearance or how tall he is, because I have rejected him, for the Lord does not look as human beings do. Human beings only see with their eyes what's on the outside, but the Lord looks at the way people think deep inside."
In the same way, women should dress sensibly, modestly, and appropriately. They should be attractive not in their hairstyle or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but by the good things they do—as is appropriate for women who claim to follow God.
You made me from the inside out, shaping me in my mother's womb.
I praise you for making me in such an awesome and wonderful way. What you do is incredible—I realize this completely!
You are incredibly beautiful, my darling—you are absolutely flawless!
So God created human beings in his own image. He created them in the image of God. He created them male and female.
We're the product of what God does, created in Christ Jesus to do good, which God already planned that we should do.
Stand up and shine, for your light has come; the glory of the Lord has risen on you.
However, even though the grass wilts and the flower fades, the word of our God will endure forever."
So we don't give up. Even though our physical bodies are falling apart, our inner selves are being renewed daily.
That's why I'm telling you not to worry about your life. Don't worry about what to eat, or what to drink, or what clothes to put on. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
