Justiça

33 Seek the Kingdom of God*above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

18 Evil people get rich for the moment,

but the reward of the godly will last.

21 Whoever pursues righteousness and unfailing love

will find life, righteousness, and honor.

3 The Lord is more pleased when we do what is right and just

than when we offer him sacrifices.

2 People may be right in their own eyes,

but the Lord examines their heart.

2 Tainted wealth has no lasting value,

but right living can save your life.

21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin,* so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

11 For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people. 12 And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God,

Paul’s Final Instructions

11 But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

7 Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.

9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

18 And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.*

16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

8 Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.

28 For the Lord loves justice,

and he will never abandon the godly.

He will keep them safe forever,

but the children of the wicked will die.

15 The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right;

his ears are open to their cries for help.

6 Such people will not be overcome by evil.

Those who are righteous will be long remembered.

1 Oh, the joys of those who do not

follow the advice of the wicked,

or stand around with sinners,

or join in with mockers.

10 I have tried hard to find you—

don’t let me wander from your commands.

6 He will judge everyone according to what they have done.

15 See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people.

14 But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats.

33 And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that much!

25 Don’t trap yourself by making a rash promise to God

and only later counting the cost.
