Coração puro

8 Blessed are the pure in heart,

for they will see God.*

3 Who may ascend the mountain of the  Lord?

Who may stand in his holy place?  *

4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,  *

who has not appealed to  *  what is false,  *

and who has not sworn deceitfully.

5 He will receive blessing from the  Lord,  *

and righteousness  * from the God of his salvation.  *

9 Turn your face away  * from my sins

and blot out all my guilt.  *

10 God, create a clean heart for me

and renew a steadfast  *  spirit within me.  *

11 Do not banish me from your presence

or take your Holy Spirit from me.  *

God’s Ways Vindicated

1 God is indeed good to Israel,

to the pure in heart.  *

3 And everyone who has this hope  * in him purifies himself just as he is pure.  *

2 Dear friends, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed.  * We know that when he appears,  * we will be like him  * because we will see him as he is.  *3 And everyone who has this hope  * in him purifies himself just as he is pure.  *

5 Now the goal of our instruction is love  * that comes from a pure heart,  * a good conscience,  * and a sincere faith.  *

22 Flee  * from youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace,  * along with those who call on the Lord  * from a pure heart.

9 And I pray this: that your love  * will keep on growing  * in knowledge and every kind of discernment,  *10 so that you may approve the things that are superior  * and may be pure  * and blameless  * in the day of Christ,  *11 filled with the fruit  * of righteousness  * that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory  * and praise of God.

14 Do everything without grumbling  * and arguing,  *15 so that you may be blameless  * and pure,  * children of God who are faultless  * in a crooked  * and perverted  * generation,  * among whom you shine like stars in the world, 16 by holding firm to the word  * of life. Then I can boast  * in the day of Christ  * that I didn’t run or labor for nothing.

22 Since you have purified yourselves by your obedience to the truth,  * so that you show sincere brotherly love for each other,  * from a pure  * heart love one another constantly,  *,*

2 All a person’s ways seem right to him,

but the Lord weighs motives.  *,*
