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 in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time,
and 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, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
The Lord is good and upright;
Therefore He instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in justice,
And He teaches the humble His way.
A person’s pride will bring him low,
But a humble spirit will obtain honor.
Before destruction the heart of a person is haughty,
But humility goes 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 from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves;
Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, andpatience;
with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love.
To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, loving, compassionate, and humble;
Your adornment must not be merely the external—braiding the hair, wearing gold jewelry, or putting on apparel; but it should be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of 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.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will findrest for your souls.For My yoke is comfortable, and My burden is light."
"So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, so that they will be praised by people. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
And sitting down, He called the twelve and *said to them, "If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all."
and He said to them, "Whoever receives this child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; for the one who is least among all of you, this is the one who is great."
The reward of humility andthe fear of the Lord
Are riches, honor, and life.
The fear of the Lord is the instruction for wisdom,
And before honor comes humility.
When pride comes, then comes dishonor;
But with the humble there is wisdom.
Humildade verdadeira
O que se exige de ti? Praticar a justiça, amar a misericórdia e andar humildemente com teu Deus.
He has told you, mortal one, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justice, to love kindness,
And to walk humbly with your God?
Family Relations
Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not become bitter against them.
Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.
and the insignificant things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no human may boast before God.
Wisdom from Above
Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
