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 Be humbled, therefore, under the mighty hand of Aloha, that he may exalt you at the right 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 And do nothing in contention or vainglorying, but in meekness of mind let a man consider his neighbour as better than himself.
20 To Aloha our Father be praise and glory to the age of ages. Amen.
12 Wear, therefore, as the chosen of Aloha, saints and beloved, compassions and tenderness, and benignity, and lowliness of mind, and composure, and patience.
2 in all lowliness of mind, and composedness, and long-suffering; and be patient towards one another in love.
13 But you have been called unto liberty, my brethren: only let not your liberty be for an occasion of the flesh; but in love be subjected one to another.
8 But, finally be all unanimous, and suffer with those who suffer, and love one another, and be merciful and gentle;
3 Neither be adorned with outward adornings of the entwinement of your hair, or necklaces of gold, or of excelling vestments,4 but adorn yourselves in the hidden man of the heart, with the spirit of gentleness which perisheth not, the ornament of excellence before Aloha.
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 Bear my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am peaceful and lowly in my heart, and you shall find repose for your souls.30 For my yoke is kindly, and my burden is light.
2 When, therefore, thou art doing alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as do the assumers of faces in the assemblies and streets, so that they may be praised from men; and, Amen I say to you, they receive their reward.
35 And Jeshu sat, and he called the twelve, and said to them, Whoever wills to be the first, shall be the last of all, and the servant of all.
48 And he said to them, Every one who receiveth a child like this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever receiveth me, he receiveth Him who sent me. For he who is least among you, he shall be greatest.
Humildade verdadeira
O que se exige de ti? Praticar a justiça, amar a misericórdia e andar humildemente com teu Deus.
18 WIVES, be subject to your husbands, as it is right in the Meshiha.19 Men, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
16 And what you think of yourselves, (that) also think of your brethren; nor think with a high mind, but incline to them who are humble; and be not wise in the conceit of your own mind.
28 and he hath chosen those of low birth in the world, and the outcasts, and those who are nothing, to bring to nothing those who are;29 that no flesh may boast before him.
13 Who of you is wise and instructed? let him show his works in good conversations in meek wisdom.
