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 with all diligence,
for from it flow springs of life.
My son, give me your heart,
and let your eyes delight in my ways.
My son, do not forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments;
for they will add length to your days,
years and peace to your life.
The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart the 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 right spirit within me.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my concerns.
See if there is any offensive way in me;
lead me in the way everlasting.
Test me, O LORD, and try me;
examine my heart and mind.
For Your loving devotion is before my eyes,
and I have walked in Your truth.
You have tried my heart;
You have visited me in the night.
You have tested me and found no evil;
I have resolved not to sin with my mouth.
As for the deeds of men —
by the word of Your lips
I have avoided the ways of the violent.
My steps have held to Your paths;
my feet have not slipped.
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast.
I will sing and make music.
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 world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in all you do.
With all my heart I have sought You;
do not let me stray from Your commandments.
I have hidden Your word in my heart
that I might not sin against You.
And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts.
he said to them, "Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to carefully follow 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 anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
You, too, be patient and strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.
Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
