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.
23 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.
26 My son, give Me your heart, and let your eyes take pleasure in observing My ways.
1 My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commandments,2 for they shall add length of days and long life and peace to you.
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. 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.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
23 Search me, O Mighty God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties;24 and find out if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way eternal.
2 Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; purify my being and my heart.3 For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your Truth.
3 You have examined my heart; You have visited me in the night; You have tried me, and found nothing; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.4 Concerning the works of men, by the Words of Your lips, I have kept from the paths of the destroyer.5 My steps have been upheld in Your paths, so that my footsteps have not slipped.
7 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.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may take heed to do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.
10 With my whole heart have I sought You; O let me not wander from Your Commandments!11 Your Word have I hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.
5 And you shall love Jehovah your God with all your heart, with all your soul, exceedingly in every way.6 And these Words which I am commanding you today shall be in your heart.
46 and He said to them: Set your hearts on all the words which I am testifying against you today, that you 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.
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
8 You also be patient. Make your hearts firm, for the coming of the Lord draws near.
1 If then you are raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.
