Honestidade

Por Bíblia Online –

A honestidade é virtude cristã fundamental. Deus é Deus de verdade e nos chama a viver com integridade, transparência e retidão em todos os nossos relacionamentos e negócios.

Integridade diante de Deus

O Senhor abomina a balança falsa, mas o peso justo é seu prazer. A integridade dos justos os guia pelos caminhos retos.

1 A false balance is an abomination to Jehovah; but a just weight is his delight.3 The integrity of the upright guideth them; but the crookedness of the unfaithful destroyeth them.

3 The integrity of the upright guideth them; but the crookedness of the unfaithful destroyeth them.

9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness and judgment and equity: every good path.

3 To exercise justice and judgment is more acceptable to Jehovah than sacrifice.

25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

2 But we have rejected the hidden things of shame, not walking in deceit, nor falsifying the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.

21 for we provide for things honest, not only before {the} Lord, but also before men.

Praticar a honestidade

Falai a verdade, pagai o que deveis, não negueis ao próximo o bem. A honestidade prática é testemunho do evangelho.

9 Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds,

7 Render to all their dues: to whom tribute {is due}, tribute; to whom custom, custom; to whom fear, fear; to whom honour, honour.

6 For on this account ye pay tribute also; for they are God's officers, attending continually on this very thing.

17 recompensing to no one evil for evil: providing things honest before all men:

27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thy hand to do it.

8 Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues without right.

2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness delivereth from death.

Confissão e transparência

Confessai as vossas ofensas uns aos outros. Quem confessa e deixa o pecado encontra misericórdia e restauração.

13 He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh {them} shall obtain mercy.

16 Confess therefore your offences to one another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. {The} fervent supplication of the righteous {man} has much power.

12 But before all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay, that ye do not fall under judgment.

17 But the wisdom from above first is pure, then peaceful, gentle, yielding, full of mercy and good fruits, unquestioning, unfeigned.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not practise the truth.

18 Children, let us not love with word, nor with tongue, but in deed and in truth.

Coração puro

Bem-aventurados os puros de coração, porque verão a Deus. A honestidade começa no interior e se manifesta nas ações.

8 Blessed the pure in heart, for *they* shall see God.

7 Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him that prospereth in his way, because of the man that bringeth mischievous devices to pass.

5 It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment.

15 Strive diligently to present thyself approved to God, a workman that has not to be ashamed, cutting in a straight line the word of truth.

16 And no one having lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel or puts it under a couch, but sets it on a lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light.

13 In the transgression of the lips is an evil snare; but a righteous {man} shall go forth out of trouble.17 He that uttereth truth sheweth forth righteousness; but a false witness deceit.

28 A false man soweth contention; and a talebearer separateth very friends.
