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 sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Good and upright is the Lord;
Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.
The humble He guides in justice,
And the humble He teaches His way.
A man’s pride will bring him low,
But the humble in spirit will retain honor.
Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty,
And before honor is humility.
Humildade como virtude
Considerai os outros como superiores a vós mesmos. Revesti-vos de humildade, mansidão e paciência no trato uns com os outros.
Let nothing bedone through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Character of the New Man
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;
with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,
For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
Called to Blessing
Finally, all ofyoube of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous;
Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather letitbethe hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very 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 lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, "If anyone desires to be first, he shall 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. For he who is least among you all will be great."
By humility and the fear of the Lord
Are riches and honor and life.
The fear of the Lordis the instruction of wisdom,
And before honor is humility.
When pride comes, then comes shame;
But with the humble is wisdom.
Humildade verdadeira
O que se exige de ti? Praticar a justiça, amar a misericórdia e andar humildemente com teu Deus.
He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
The Christian Home
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.
Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence.
Heavenly Versus Demonic Wisdom
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works aredone in the meekness of wisdom.
