Ídolos
A Bíblia condena a idolatria com veemência. Um ídolo é qualquer coisa que ocupa o lugar de Deus no coração. Os cristãos são chamados a guardar-se dos ídolos e servir ao Deus vivo.
Guardai-vos dos ídolos
Filhinhos, guardai-vos dos ídolos. A cobiça é idolatria. Tudo que ocupa o trono de Deus no coração é um ídolo.
21 Dear children, do you keep yourselves from the idols.
5 Put you to death therefore the members of you those on the earth, fornication, impurity, passion, desire evil, and the covetousness, which is idol worship;
10 A root for of all of the evils is the love of money; which some longing after wandered from the faith, and themselves pierced around with sorrows many.
O único Deus verdadeiro
O Senhor é Deus nos céus e na terra — não há outro. Escolham hoje a quem servir, mas eu e a minha casa serviremos ao Senhor.
9 Or not know you, that unjust ones of God a kingdom not shall inherit? Not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminates, nor Sodomites,10 nor thieves, nor covetous persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, not extortioners, a kingdom of God not shall inherit.
Vencer a idolatria
Não tenhas comunhão com as obras das trevas. Revesti-vos da armadura de Deus para resistir às ciladas do diabo.
11 and not be you jointpartakers with the works with those unfruitful of the darkness, rather but even do you reprove.12 The things for in secret being done by them, indecent it is even to say.
11 Put you on the complete armor of the God, for that to enable you to stand against the crafty ways of the accuser;
15 Not I ask, that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them from the evil one.
21 Not be overcome by the evil, but overcome by the good the evil.
56 The but sting of the death, the sin; the and power of the sin, the law.
