Coração puro
Bem-aventurados os puros de coração, porque verão a Deus. A pureza de coração é alvo, privilégio e busca constante do cristão que deseja contemplar a face do Senhor.
Coração puro
Bem-aventurados os puros de coração. A pureza interior precede toda transformação externa e abre os olhos para ver a Deus.
God blesses those people
whose hearts are pure.
They will see him!
Who may climb the Lord's hill
or stand in his holy temple?
Only those who do right
for the right reasons,
and don’t worship idols
or tell lies under oath.
The Lord God, who saves them,
will bless and reward them,
Turn your eyes from my sin
and cover my guilt.
Create pure thoughts in me
and make me faithful again.
Don’t chase me away from you
or take your Holy Spirit
away from me.
God is truly good to Israel,
especially to everyone
with a pure heart.
Purificar-se
Todo o que tem essa esperança em Cristo se purifica. O amor procede de coração puro, boa consciência e fé sincera.
This hope makes us keep ourselves holy, just as Christ is holy.
My dear friends, we are already God’s children, though what we will be hasn’t yet been seen. But we do know when Christ returns, we will be like him, because we will see him as he truly is. This hope makes us keep ourselves holy, just as Christ is holy.
You must teach people to have genuine love, as well as a good conscience and true faith.
Run from temptations that capture young people. Always do the right thing. Be faithful, loving, and easy to get along with. Worship with people whose hearts are pure.
I pray that your love will keep on growing and you will fully know and understand how to make the right choices. Then you will still be pure and innocent when Christ returns. And until that day, Jesus Christ will keep you busy doing good deeds that bring glory and praise to God.
Do everything without grumbling or arguing. Then you will be the pure and innocent children of God. You live among people who are crooked and evil, but you must not do anything they can say is wrong. Try to shine as lights among the people of this world, as you hold firmly to the message that gives life. Then on the day when Christ returns, I can take pride in you. I can also know that my work and efforts were not useless.
You obeyed the truth, and your souls were made pure. Now you sincerely love each other. But you must keep on loving with all your heart.
We may think we know
what is right,
but the Lord is the judge
of our motives.
