Domínio próprio
O domínio próprio é fruto do Espírito e marca de maturidade espiritual. A Bíblia ensina que quem governa o próprio espírito é melhor do que quem conquista uma cidade.
Fruto do Espírito
O fruto do Espírito inclui domínio próprio. A graça de Deus nos ensina a viver de maneira sóbria e justa neste mundo.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
Trained by Saving Grace
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Fruitful Growth in the Faith
But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.
Governar a si mesmo
Melhor é o que domina o seu espírito do que o que toma uma cidade. A cidade sem muros é o homem sem domínio próprio.
Hewhois slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
Whoever has no rule over his own spirit
Islike a city broken down, without walls.
A fool vents all his feelings,
But a wise man holds them back.
In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
But he who restrains his lips is wise.
Striving for a Crown
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.And everyone who competes fortheprize is temperate in all things. Now they doit to obtain a perishable crown, but we foran imperishable crown.Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as onewho beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn withpassion.
No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
Disciplina e vigilância
Sede sóbrios e vigilantes. O diabo anda em derredor como leão rugidor. A sobriedade nos protege e fortalece.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
Serving for God’s Glory
But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.
Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. For we havespent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God;
O senhorio de Cristo
Todo domínio pertence a Cristo. Ele é Senhor dos senhores e Rei dos reis — e nos capacita a viver em santidade.
Bless the Lord, all His works,
In all places of His dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And Your dominion endures throughout all generations.
"I was watching in the night visions,
And behold, One like the Son of Man,
Coming with the clouds of heaven!
He came to the Ancient of Days,
And they brought Him near before Him.
Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.
His dominion isan everlasting dominion,
Which shall not pass away,
And His kingdom theone
Which shall not be destroyed.
I thought it good to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked for me.
How great are His signs,
And how mighty His wonders!
His kingdom isan everlasting kingdom,
And His dominion is from generation to generation.
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
Therewillbe no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.
So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those whoare Christ’s at His coming. Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.
"Dominion and fear belong to Him;
He makes peace in His high places.
