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.
Keep thy heart more than anything that is guarded; for out of it are the issues of life.
My son, give me thy heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
My son, forget not my teaching, and let thy heart observe my commandments; for length of days, and years of life, and peace shall they add to thee.
The good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, brings forth good; and the wicked man out of the wicked, brings forth what is wicked: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
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.
Create in me a clean heart, O God and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Blessed the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Search me, O ·God and know my heart; prove me, and know my thoughts; And see if there be any grievous way in me; and lead me in the way everlasting.
Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart: For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.
Thou hast proved my heart, thou hast visited me by night; thou hast tried me, thou hast found nothing: my thought goeth not beyond my word. Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept from the paths of the violent man. When thou holdest my goings in thy paths, my footsteps slip not.
My heart is fixed, O God my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms.
Guardar com a Palavra
Não vos conformeis com este mundo. A Palavra de Deus guardada no coração nos protege do pecado e nos direciona.
And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
This book of the law shall not depart from thy mouth; and thou shalt meditate upon it day and night, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is written therein; for then shalt thou have good success in thy ways, and then shalt thou prosper.
With my whole heart have I sought thee: let me not wander from thy commandments.
Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.
and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart;
he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words that I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to take heed to do, all the words 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.
Be careful about nothing; but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses every understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts by Christ Jesus.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.
Ye also have patience: stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is drawn nigh.
If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things which are above, where the Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God:
