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 the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due 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.
Do nothing from selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility regard others as more important than yourselves.
Glory be to our God and Father forever and ever! Amen.
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and beloved, put on tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,
with all humility and gentleness, and with patience, bearing with one another in love,
You were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another in love.
Finally, you must all be of one mind, sympathetic, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, and kind.
Do not adorn yourselves outwardly with elaborately braided hair, gold jewelry, or fancy clothing.

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."
So when yoʋ give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before yoʋ, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward.
So Jesus sat down, called the twelve over, and said to them, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and a servant to all."
Then he said to them, "Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who will be great."
Humildade verdadeira
O que se exige de ti? Praticar a justiça, amar a misericórdia e andar humildemente com teu Deus.
Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be embittered against them.
Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.
God chose what is lowly and despised in the world, things that are regarded as nothing, to nullify the things that are regarded as something, so that no flesh might boast before God.
Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct he should show that his works are done with the gentleness that comes from wisdom.
