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.
The good person brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil person brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart, for out of the abundance of his 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.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
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 determine what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.
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 about nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. And the peace of God that 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, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
You also must be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord has drawn near.
Put On the New Self
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
