Luz do mundo

19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than the light, because their works were evil.20 For everyone that does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works be exposed.21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."

14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines on everything in the house.16 Thus let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and they may glorify your Father who is in heaven.

4 among whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine on them.5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus' sake.6 Because it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts to give [the] light of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of Jesus Christ.
