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.
Some women who are attractive are not really good women,
but they can deceive us regarding what they are really like.
Furthermore, women’s beauty does not last;
but women who revere Yahweh should be honored.
Do not be trying to make yourselves beautiful by decorating the outside of your bodies, such as ◄by the way you comb your hair/by your hair style► or by wearing gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, make your ◄inner beings/hearts► beautiful with qualities/attitudes that will not fade away. Specifically, have a humble and quiet/calm attitude, which is something that God considers to be very valuable.
But Yahweh said to Samuel, "No, he is not the one whom I have chosen. Don’t pay attention to his being handsome and very tall, because I have not chosen him. I do not evaluate people as people do. You people evaluate people by their appearance, but I evaluate people by what is in their inner beings."
I would like that the clothing that women wear be ◄modest and sensible/proper and appropriate► [DOU]. I want them to not fix their hair in fancy/elaborate ways, nor wear gold jewelry, nor pearls, nor expensive clothing in order that they may make themselves attractive. Instead, they should be doing things that women who ◄claim to/say that they► worship God should do; that is, they should be doing good deeds.
You created all the parts of my body;
you put the parts of my body together when I was still in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because you made my body in a very awesome and wonderful way.
Everything that you do is amazing!
I know that very well.
My darling, you are completely beautiful;
your body is perfectly formed!
So God created human beings that were like him in many ways. He made them to be like himself. He created some to be male and some to be female.
It is God who has made us what we are now. Because of our relationship with Christ Jesus, he has enabled us to receive spiritual/eternal life in order that we should conduct our lives habitually doing the good deeds that God previously planned for us to do.
You people of Jerusalem [PRS], stand up!
Yahweh has done glorious things for you,
and he has acted powerfully for you;
so show others that he is very great!
The grass withers and the flowers dry up,
but what our God promises will last forever."
So, because we know that as a result of our suffering many people will honor God, we (exc) never get so discouraged that we stop teaching his message. Although our bodies are getting weaker, God encourages us every day and strengthens us spiritually.
"Because you should be concerned about what God thinks is important and not about material goods, I tell you that you should not worry about things that you need in order to live. Do not worry about whether you will have enough food to eat, and something to drink, or enough clothes to wear. It is important to have sufficient food and drink and clothing, but the way you conduct your lives is much more important [RHQ].
