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 the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Who may ascend onto the hill of the Lord?
And who may stand in His holy place?
One who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to deceit
And has not sworn deceitfully.
He will receive a blessing from the Lord
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
Hide Your face from my sins
And wipe out all my guilty deeds.
Create in me a clean heart, God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
God certainly is good to Israel,
To those who are pure in heart!
Purificar-se
Todo o que tem essa esperança em Cristo se purifica. O amor procede de coração puro, boa consciência e fé sincera.
And everyone who has this hope set on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. And everyone who has this hope set on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from a sincere faith.
Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
And this I pray, that your love may overflow still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may discover the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ; having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, for the glory and praise of God.
Do all things without complaining or arguments; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, holding firmly the word of life, so that on the day of Christ I can take pride because I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.
Since you have purified your souls in obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brothers and sisters, fervently love one another from the heart,
All the ways of a person are clean in his own sight,
But the Lord examines the motives.
