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.
Blessed are those who have pure minds, for they will see God.
Who is allowed to go up the Lord’s mountain? Who is permitted to stand in his holy place?
Those who have clean hands and pure minds, who don’t worship idols, and who don’t lie under oath.
They will take with them the blessing of the Lord, vindicated by the God who saves them.
Turn your face away from looking at my sins; please wipe away my guilt.
Create a pure mind in me, God, and make me trustworthy again.
Don’t expel me from your presence; don’t take away your Holy Spirit from me.
Truly God is good to Israel, to those whose minds are pure.
Purificar-se
Todo o que tem essa esperança em Cristo se purifica. O amor procede de coração puro, boa consciência e fé sincera.
All those who have this hope in them make sure they are pure, just as he is pure.
My friends, we are already God’s children; however what we shall become hasn’t been revealed just yet. But we do know that when he appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he really is. All those who have this hope in them make sure they are pure, just as he is pure.
The reason why I insist on this is so we may have love that comes from a pure heart, from a clear conscience and sincere trust in God.
Run away from anything that fires up the desires of youth. Run after what is right and trustworthy, run after love and peace along with those who are true and pure Christians.
My prayer is that your love may grow more and more in knowledge and understanding, so that you can work out what’s really important. That way you can be genuine and blameless when Christ returns, filled with the fruits of living right that come through Jesus Christ and give glory and praise to God.
Do everything without complaining or arguing so that you’ll be sincere, innocent of any wrong. Be God’s blameless children living in the middle of a dishonest and corrupt people. Shine among them as lights to the world, holding out to them the word of life. That way I’ll have something to be proud of when Christ returns, proving I didn’t run around and work for nothing!
Now that you’ve dedicated yourselves by following the truth, love each other sincerely like a true family.
People think that whatever they do is fine, but the Lord looks at their intentions.
