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.
With all keeping keep thine heart, for life cometh forth of it.
My son, give thine heart to me, and thine eyes keep my ways.
My son, forget thou not my law; and thine heart keep my command-ments.
For they shall set to thee the length of days, and the years of life, and peace.
A good man of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good things, and an evil man of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things; for of the plenty of the heart the mouth speaketh.
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, make thou a clean heart in me; and make thou new a rightful spirit in my entrails.
Blessed be they that be of clean heart, for they shall see God.
God, prove thou me, and know thou mine heart; ask thou me, and know thou my paths.
And see thou, if way of wicked-ness is in me; and lead thou me forth in [the] everlasting way.
Lord, prove thou me, and assay me; burn thou my reins, and mine heart.
For why thy mercy is before mine eyes; and I pleased in thy truth.
Thou hast proved mine heart, and hast visited me in [the] night; thou hast examined, or assayed, me by fire, and wickedness is not found in me.
That my mouth speak not of the works of men; for the words of thy lips I have kept hard ways.
Make thou perfect my goings in thy paths; that my steps be not moved.
God, mine heart is ready, mine heart is ready; I shall sing, and I shall say psalm.
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 do not ye be conformed to this world, but be ye reformed in newness of your wit, that ye prove which is the will of God, good, and well pleasing, and perfect.
The book of this law depart not from thy mouth, but thou shalt think therein in days and nights, that thou keep and do all things that be written therein; then thou shalt dress thy way, and thou shalt understand it.
In all mine heart I sought thee; put thou me not away from thy behests.
In mine heart I hid thy speeches; that I do not sin against thee.
Thou shalt love thy Lord God of all thine heart, and of all thy soul, and of all thy strength.
And these words which I command to thee today, shall be in thine heart;
and said to them, Put ye your hearts into all the words which I witness to you today, that ye command to your sons, to keep, and to do those [or them], and to fulfill all things that be written in the book 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 ye nothing busy, but in all prayer and beseeching, with doing of thankings, be your askings known at God.
And the peace of God, that passeth all wit, keep your hearts and understandings in Christ Jesus.
Nigh ye to God, and he shall nigh to you. Ye sinners, cleanse ye the hands, and ye double in soul [or ye double of will], purge ye the hearts.
And be ye patient, and confirm ye your hearts, for the coming of the Lord shall nigh.
Therefore if ye have risen together with Christ, seek ye those things that be above, where Christ is sitting on the right half of God.
