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 is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
Your adornment must not be merely the external—braiding the hair, wearing gold jewelry, or putting on apparel; but it should be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.
But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God does not see as man sees, since man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive apparel, but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.
For You created my innermost parts;
You wove me in my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks to You, because I am awesomely and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
"You are altogether beautiful, my darling,
And there is no blemish on you.
So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
"Arise, shine; for your light has come,
And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever.
Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer person is decaying, yet our inner person is being renewed day by day.
"For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing?
