Guardar o coração
Guardar o coração é o mandamento mais urgente de Provérbios. Sobre tudo o que se deve guardar, guarda o teu coração, porque dele procedem as fontes da vida.
Sobre tudo, guarda o coração
O coração é a nascente de tudo — pensamentos, desejos, decisões. Guardá-lo é proteger toda a vida espiritual e emocional.
23 And keep watch over your heart with all care; so you will have life.
26 My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes take delight in my ways.
1 My son, keep my teaching in your memory, and my rules in your heart:2 For they will give you increase of days, years of life, and peace.
45 The good man, out of the good store of his heart, gives good things; and the evil man, out of his evil store, gives evil: for out of the full store of the heart come the words of the mouth.
Coração puro e renovado
Cria em mim um coração puro, ó Deus. Os puros de coração verão a Deus — e o Espírito renova nosso interior.
10 \51:8\Make me full of joy and rapture; so that the bones which have been broken may be glad.
8 Happy are the clean in heart: for they will see God.
23 O God, let the secrets of my heart be uncovered, and let my wandering thoughts be tested:24 See if there is any way of sorrow in me, and be my guide in the eternal way.
2 Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.3 For your mercy is before my eyes; and I have gone in the way of your good faith.
3 You have put my heart to the test, searching me in the night; you have put me to the test and seen no evil purpose in me; I will keep my mouth from sin.4 As for the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.5 I have kept my feet in your ways, my steps have not been turned away.
7 \57:6\They have made ready a net for my steps; my soul is bent down; they have made a great hole before me, and have gone down into it themselves. (Selah.)
Guardar com a Palavra
Não vos conformeis com este mundo. A Palavra de Deus guardada no coração nos protege do pecado e nos direciona.
2 And let not your behaviour be like that of this world, but be changed and made new in mind, so that by experience you may have knowledge of the good and pleasing and complete purpose of God.
8 Let this book of the law be ever on your lips and in your thoughts day and night, so that you may keep with care everything in it; then a blessing will be on all your way, and you will do well.
10 I have made search for you with all my heart: O let me not go wandering far from your teaching.11 I have kept your sayings secretly in my heart, so that I might do no sin against you.
5 And the Lord your God is to be loved with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.6 Keep these words, which I say to you this day, deep in your hearts;
46 Moses said to them, Let the words which I have said to you today go deep into your hearts, and give orders to your children to do every word of this law.
Vigilância e paz
A paz de Deus guarda nossos corações em Cristo Jesus. Chegai-vos a Deus, purificai os corações — e Ele estará convosco.
6 Have no cares; but in everything with prayer and praise put your requests before God.7 And the peace of God, which is deeper than all knowledge, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evil-doers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind.
8 Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.
1 If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
