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.
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you.
and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
Good and upright is the LORD;
therefore He shows sinners the way.
He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them His way.
A man’s pride will bring him low,
but a humble spirit will obtain honor.
Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud,
but humility comes before honor.
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 empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.
To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love.
Finally, all of you, be like-minded and sympathetic, love as brothers, be tenderhearted and humble.
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes, but from the inner disposition of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.
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.

So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all."
And He said to them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest."
The rewards of humility and the fear of the LORD
are wealth and honor and life.
The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom,
and humility comes before honor.
When pride comes, disgrace follows,
but with humility comes wisdom.
Humildade verdadeira

And what does the LORD require of you
but to act justly, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God?

He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast in His presence.
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
