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.
Guard your heart above all else,
for it is the source of life.
My son, give me your heart,
and let your eyes observe my ways.
My son, don’t forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commands;
for they will bring you
many days, a full life, , and well-being.
A good person produces good out of the good stored up in his heart. An evil person produces evil out of the evil stored up in his heart, for his mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.
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.
God, create a clean heart for me
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my concerns.
See if there is any offensive way in me;
lead me in the everlasting way.
Test me, Lord, and try me;
examine my heart and mind.
For your faithful love guides me,
and I live by your truth.
You have tested my heart;
you have examined me at night.
You have tried me and found nothing evil;
I have determined that my mouth will not sin.
Concerning what people do:
by the words from your lips
I have avoided the ways of the violent.
My steps are on your paths;
my feet have not slipped.
My heart is confident, God, my heart is confident.
I will sing; I will sing praises.
Guardar com a Palavra
Não vos conformeis com este mundo. A Palavra de Deus guardada no coração nos protege do pecado e nos direciona.
Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to meditate on it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do.
I have sought you with all my heart;
don’t let me wander from your commands.
I have treasured your word in my heart
so that I may not sin against you.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart.
he said to them, "Take to heart all these words I am giving as a warning to you today, so that you may command your children to follow all the words of this law carefully.
Vigilância e paz
A paz de Deus guarda nossos corações em Cristo Jesus. Chegai-vos a Deus, purificai os corações — e Ele estará convosco.
Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
You also must be patient. Strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.
So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
