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 be they that be of clean heart, for they shall see God.
Who shall ascend or go up into the hill of the Lord; either who shall stand in the holy place of him?
The innocent in hands, that is, in works, and in clean heart; which took not his soul in vain, neither swore in guile to his neighbour.
He shall take blessing of the Lord; and mercy of God his health.
Turn away thy face from my sins; and do away all my wickednesses.
God, make thou a clean heart in me; and make thou new a rightful spirit in my entrails.
Cast thou me not away from thy face; and take thou not away from me thine holy spirit.
The psalm of Asaph. God of Israel is full good; to them that be of rightful [or right] 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 each man that hath this hope in him, maketh himself holy, as he is holy.
Most dear brethren, now we be the sons of God, and yet it appeared not, what we shall be. We know, that when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
And each man that hath this hope in him, maketh himself holy, as he is holy.
For the end of the commandment is charity of clean heart, and good conscience, and of faith not feigned.
And flee thou [the] desires of youth, but follow thou rightwiseness, faith, charity, peace, with them that inwardly call [or that in-call] the Lord of a clean heart.
And this thing I pray, that your charity be plenteous more and more in knowing [or in science], and in all wit;
that ye approve the better things, that ye be clean and without offence in the day of Christ;
[full]-filled with the fruit of rightwiseness by Jesus Christ, into the glory and praising of God.
And do ye all things without grutchings, and doubtings;
that ye be without complaint, and simple as the sons of God, without reproof, in the middle of a shrewd nation and a wayward; among which ye shine as givers of light in the world.
And hold ye together the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ; for I have not run in vain, neither I have travailed in vain.
And make ye chaste your souls in obedience of charity, in love of brotherhood; of simple heart love ye together more busily.
All the ways of men be open to the eyes of God; the Lord is a weigher of spirits, that is, of wills, yielding to man after his deservings.
