Dinheiro
O dinheiro é ferramenta que pode ser usada para o bem ou para o mal. A Bíblia nos ensina a administrar recursos com sabedoria, generosidade e temor ao Senhor.
Perspectiva bíblica
Guardai-vos da avareza. A vida não consiste na abundância de bens. O dinheiro é servo, nunca senhor.
Then he said to the crowd, "Don’t be greedy! Owning a lot of things won’t make your life safe."
Your heart will always be where your treasure is.
"Wonderful!" his master replied. "You are a good and faithful servant. I left you in charge of only a little, but now I will put you in charge of much more. Come and share in my happiness!"
Your money flies away
before you know it,
just like an eagle
suddenly taking off.
Give up trying so hard
to get rich.
If you love money and wealth, you will never be satisfied with what you have. This doesn’t make a bit of sense.
Administrar com sabedoria
Honra ao Senhor com as tuas primícias. O sábio administra seus recursos com prudência e visão de eternidade.
Honor the Lord by giving him
your money and the first part
of all your crops.
When the Lord blesses you
with riches,
you have nothing to regret.
What you gain by doing evil
won’t help you at all.
Obeying God is the only way
to be saved from death.
Money wrongly gained
will disappear bit by bit;
money earned little by little
will grow and grow.
It’s much better to be wise
and sensible
than to be rich.
A good reputation and respect
are worth much more
than silver and gold.
It’s better to obey the Lord
and have only a little,
than to be very rich
and terribly anxious.
What matters most is loyalty.
It’s better to be poor
than to be a liar.
Make me absolutely honest
and don’t let me be too poor
or too rich.
Give me just what I need.
Perigos e armadilhas
Quem quer enriquecer cai em tentação. Fuja do amor ao dinheiro e busque contentamento no Senhor.
People who want to be rich fall into all sorts of temptations and traps. They are caught by foolish and harmful desires that drag them down and destroy them.
Warn the rich people of this world not to be proud or to trust in wealth that is easily lost. Tell them to have faith in God, who is rich and blesses us with everything we need to enjoy life.
Don’t fall in love with money. Be satisfied with what you have. The Lord has promised that he will not leave us or desert us.
When God is angry,
money won’t help you.
Obeying God is the only way
to be saved from death.
the rich think their money
is a wall of protection.
Tudo vem de Deus
De ti vem tudo, e das tuas mãos to damos. Os tributos são devidos — dai a César o que é de César e a Deus o que é de Deus.
But why should we be happy that we have given you these gifts? They belong to you, and we have only given back what is already yours.
Pay all that you owe, whether it is taxes and fees or respect and honor.
You must also pay your taxes. The authorities are God’s servants, and it is their duty to take care of these matters.
It is better to live right
and be poor
than to be sinful and rich.
The wicked will lose all
of their power,
but the Lord gives strength
to everyone who is good.
Obeying your instructions
brings as much happiness
as being rich.
