Bem
Fazer o bem é mandamento de Deus e expressão prática do amor cristão. A Bíblia convida a praticar o bem a todos, com alegria, sem se cansar — porque colheremos no tempo próprio.
Do good instead of evil
and try to live at peace.
Trust the Lord and live right!
The land will be yours,
and you will be safe.
but I know I will live
to see how kind you are.
Please, Lord, remember,
you have always
been patient and kind.
Forget each wrong I did
when I was young.
Show how truly kind you are
and remember me.
Our Lord, everything you do
is kind and thoughtful,
With wisdom you will learn
what is right
and honest and fair.
What matters most is loyalty.
It’s better to be poor
than to be a liar.
God’s Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled. There is no law against behaving in any of these ways.
We should help people whenever we can, especially if they are followers of the Lord.
Stop all your dirty talk. Say the right thing at the right time and help others by what you say.
Instead, be kind and merciful, and forgive others, just as God forgave you because of Christ.
Be sincere in your love for others. Hate everything that is evil and hold tight to everything that is good.
Don’t let evil defeat you, but defeat evil with good.
Some of you say, "We can do whatever we want to!" But I tell you not everything may be good or helpful.
Don’t fool yourselves. Bad friends will destroy you.
God can bless you with everything you need, and you will always have more than enough to do all kinds of good things for others.
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,
He gave himself to rescue us from everything evil and to make our hearts pure. He wanted us to be his own people and to be eager to do right.
Do your best to improve your faith by adding goodness, understanding, self-control, patience, devotion to God, concern for others, and love.
Can anyone really harm you for being eager to do good deeds?
The Lord said:
My people, when you stood
at the crossroads,
I told you, "Follow the road
your ancestors took,
and you will find peace."
But you refused.
The Lord is good.
He protects those who trust him
in times of trouble.
and no one lights a lamp and puts it under a clay pot. Instead, it is placed on a lampstand, where it can give light to everyone in the house. Make your light shine, so others will see the good you do and will praise your Father in heaven.
Have pity on others, just as your Father has pity on you.
