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.
For none of them that wait on thee shall in anywise be ashamed:
Let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.
Show me thy ways, O Lord;
And teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me:
For thou art God my Savior:
And I have waited on thee all the day.
Behold the man who made not God his help;
But trusted in the abundance of his wealth,
And strengthened himself in his vanity.
But I am as a fruitful olive in the house of God:
I have trusted in the mercy of God
Forever, even for evermore.
I will give thanks to thee forever, for thou hast done it:
And I will wait on thy name;
For it is good before thy saints.
A Psalm of instruction for Asaph.
Wherefore hast thou rejected us, O God, forever?
Wherefore is thy wrath kindled against the sheep of thy pasture?
Purificar-se
Todo o que tem essa esperança em Cristo se purifica. O amor procede de coração puro, boa consciência e fé sincera.
All the works of the humble man are manifest with God;
But the ungodly shall perish in an evil day.
