Humildade
A humildade é o caminho da honra verdadeira. Deus resiste aos soberbos, mas dá graça aos humildes. Jesus lavou os pés dos discípulos e nos ensinou que o maior é aquele que serve.
Humilhar-se diante de Deus
Humilhai-vos diante do Senhor e Ele vos exaltará. Quem se humilha será exaltado, e quem se exalta será humilhado.
10 Be humbled before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
Humildade como virtude
Considerai os outros como superiores a vós mesmos. Revesti-vos de humildade, mansidão e paciência no trato uns com os outros.
3 doing nothing according to selfish ambition or conceit, but with humility, regarding one another as being better than yourselves.
20 Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, patience;
2 with all humility and meekness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,
13 For you, brothers were called to freedom; only do not use freedom for an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
8 Finally, all [of you] be like-minded, sympathetic, loving the brothers, compassionate, friendly,
3 Of whom let it not be the outward adorning of braiding of hair, and wearing of gold, or of putting on of [fine] clothes,4 rather [let it be] the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible [attitude] of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious before God.
O exemplo de Jesus
Aprendei de mim, que sou manso e humilde de coração. O maior entre vós seja o que serve — esse é o caminho do Reino.
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
2 Whenever therefore you do charitable giving, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by men. Assuredly I say to you, they receive their reward in full.
35 And having sat down He called the twelve, and said to them, "If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all."
48 and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all shall be great."
Humildade verdadeira
O que se exige de ti? Praticar a justiça, amar a misericórdia e andar humildemente com teu Deus.
18 Wives, subject yourselves to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.
16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but [rather ]associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
28 And the lowly things of the world, and the despised things God has chosen, and the things which are not, in order that He might nullify the things which are,29 so that no man may boast before God.
13 Is there anyone wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct [that] his works [are] in meekness of wisdom.
