Compaixão
A compaixão é o coração de Deus em ação. Ele é compassivo e misericordioso, tardio em irar-se e grande em amor. Somos chamados a refletir essa compaixão no mundo.
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
3 For thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise thee.
22 It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness.
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee. 16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment; blessed are all they that wait for him.
18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again, for I have mercy upon them; and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and I will hear them.
9 Thus hath the LORD of hosts spoken, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassion every man to his brother: 10 and oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
12 Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;
32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.
8 Finally, be ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded:
17 But whoso hath the world’s goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him?
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; 4 who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
15 For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
15 Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep.
11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfected; be comforted; be of the same mind; live in peace: and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
