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.
Humildade como virtude
Considerai os outros como superiores a vós mesmos. Revesti-vos de humildade, mansidão e paciência no trato uns com os outros.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard one another as being better than yourselves.
Now to our God and Father be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
with all humility and courtesy, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
Now you, brothers, have been called to freedom; only do not use that freedom as an opening for the flesh, but slave for one another through love.
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.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls; for my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Therefore, whenever 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 the people. Assuredly I say to you, they already have their reward.
So He sat down, called the twelve and said to them, "If anyone desires to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."
and said to them: "Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me receives Him who sent me. Further, he who is least among all of you, he will be great."
Humildade verdadeira
O que se exige de ti? Praticar a justiça, amar a misericórdia e andar humildemente com teu Deus.
and God has chosen the lowly things of the world and the despised things—even the ‘nothings’—that He might nullify the ‘somethings’; so that no flesh should boast in God's presence.
