Morte
A morte é a realidade que todos enfrentam, mas para o cristão ela não é o fim. A Bíblia ensina que Cristo venceu a morte e nos dá a esperança da ressurreição e da vida eterna.
Cristo venceu a morte
Onde está, ó morte, o teu aguilhão? Cristo destruiu o poder da morte e nos deu a vitória pela ressurreição.
Death [APO] will not win a victory over us. Death will not be able to hurt us.
It is because we sin [MET] that we die, and it is because we have God’s laws that we know that we have sinned. But because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done, he enables us to be free from having to obey God’s laws to be saved and to be free of being afraid to die. We should thank God for that!
The last thing that he will get rid of is death. But he certainly will get rid of death, which is like an enemy to us.
What one man, Adam, did affects us all. We all die. Similarly, what one man—Christ—did affects us(inc) all: God will cause all believers to become alive again.
Because of what Adam did, all of us who are descended from him die. Similarly, because of what Christ did, all of us who have a close relationship with him will be brought back to life {God will make alive all of us who have a close relationship with Christ}.
Endure everything as you remember that these words that we all say/sing (OR, that we teach people) are trustworthy:
Since we have stopped behaving as we did in the past, as though we died when he died,
we shall also live with him.
◄God will be pleased with/How happy will be► those who live again that first time. God will consider them holy. They will not die [PRS] a second time. Instead, they will be priests who serve God and Christ, and they will rule with Christ during those 1,000 years.
A esperança da vida eterna
Jesus disse: 'Eu sou a ressurreição e a vida.' Quem crê nele não está morto, mas apenas adormecido — e um dia despertará para a glória.
Jesus said to her, "I am the one who enables people to become alive again and who causes people to live eternally. Those who believe in me, even if they die, will live again. Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, their souls will not die forever. Do you believe that?"
Jesus said to her, "I am the one who enables people to become alive again and who causes people to live eternally. Those who believe in me, even if they die, will live again. Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, their souls will not die forever. Do you believe that?"
Just like sheep heed the voice of their true shepherd [MET], my people pay attention to what I say. I know them, and they have become my disciples. I will give them eternal life. No one will separate them from me, not ever. No one shall ever pull them away from belonging to me.
God sent his Son into the world to save everyone who trusts in him.
God loved us people [MTY] in the world so much that he gave his only Son as a sacrifice for us, in order that everyone who believes in him would not be separated from God forever. Instead, they would have eternal life.
God will cause to live again those believers who died and will bring them to the sky with Jesus. Encourage each other by telling this message.
My fellow believers, we also want you to understand well [LIT] what will happen to our fellow believers who now are dead [EUP]. You must not be/do like the unbelievers. They grieve deeply for people who die because they do not confidently expect people to live again after they die. We believers know that it is true that Jesus died and that he came back to life again. So we also know well that when Jesus returns, God will cause those believers who died [EUP] to live again and to come with Jesus.
It is the Lord Jesus himself who will descend from heaven. When he comes down, he will command all of us believers to rise from their graves. The chief angel will shout loudly, and another angel will blow a trumpet for God. Then (OR, As a result), the first thing that will happen is that the people who trusted in Christ before they died will live again. After that, God will powerfully take up into the clouds all of us believers who are still living on this earth. He will take us and those other believers who have died, in order that we all might together meet/welcome the Lord Jesus in the sky. As a result of that, we all will be with him forever.
Não temas a morte
Não temas os que matam o corpo. Para o cristão, viver é Cristo e morrer é lucro. O vale da sombra da morte não assusta quem caminha com o Pastor.
Do not be afraid of people who are able to kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear God because he is able to destroy both a person’s body and a person’s soul in hell.
You must do that, because those who try to save their lives by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me will not live eternally, but those who are killed because of being my disciples will live with God eternally.
As for me, I live in order to honor Christ. But if I die, it will be better for me than if I continue to live, because then I will be with him.
That is, I am not sure which of those two I prefer. I long to leave this world and go to be with Christ, because that will be very much better for me. Nevertheless, it is more important that I remain alive than that I go to be with Christ because you still need me to help you.
But remember that we are citizens of heaven. And we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to return from there. By the power that enables him to put everything under his own control, he will change our weak bodies to become like his glorious body.
Even when I am walking through very dangerous dark ravines
where I might be killed,
I will not be afraid of anything
because you are with me.
You protect me like a shepherd protects his sheep.
He uses his club and his walking stick to protect them from being attacked by wild animals.

While we live, it is the Lord whom we belong to and should be trying to please, and not just ourselves. And when we die, it is the Lord whom we should be trying to please. So, while we live and also when we die, we should be trying to please the Lord to whom we belong, not just ourselves,
A eternidade nos aguarda
Deus enxugará toda lágrima. A morte será o último inimigo destruído. Para os salvos, a morte é a porta de entrada na presença eterna de Deus.
I heard a loud voice that spoke from the throne of God. It said, "Listen to this! Now God will live with people. He will live right in the midst of them [DOU]! They will be his people. God himself will be with them, and he will be their God. As a result, he will cause them to no longer be sad. It will be as though he will [MTY] wipe every tear from their eyes. None of them will ever again die or mourn or cry [DOU] or suffer pain, because the former things that make us sad will have disappeared."
As a result, he will cause them to no longer be sad. It will be as though he will [MTY] wipe every tear from their eyes. None of them will ever again die or mourn or cry [DOU] or suffer pain, because the former things that make us sad will have disappeared."
All people must die once, and after that God will judge them for their sins.
I am absolutely certain that neither being dead (OR, being killed), nor what happens to us while we live, nor angels, nor demons, nor present events, nor future events, nor powerful beings/forces, nor powerful beings above the horizon or below the horizon [MTY], nor anything else that God has created can cause God to stop loving us. God showed us that he loves us by sending Jesus Christ our Lord to die for us.
Rarely would anyone die on behalf of another person, even if that person were righteous, although someone might be courageous enough to die on behalf of a truly good person person. Nevertheless, as for God, the way he showed us that he loves us is that Christ died on our behalf while we were still rebelling against God.
All people die [MET, PRS] because of what one man, Adam, did. But now many of us experience that God has abundantly acted towards us in ways we did not deserve, and we experience that he has erased the record of our sins without our earning it. It is also very certain that we will rule with Christ (OR, share the glory of Christ’s being king), in heaven. This will happen because of what one man, Jesus Christ, did for us.
What people receive for sinning is that they are eternally separated from God. That is like wages that people receive [MET]. But what God gives us is a gift. What he gives us is that we live eternally because of our relationship with (OR, because we are united to) Christ Jesus our Lord.
A morte na perspectiva bíblica
Há tempo de nascer e tempo de morrer. A morte é realidade humana, mas Deus é Senhor tanto dos vivos quanto dos mortos.
The best things in life
Having a good reputation [MTY] is better than fine perfume,
and the day that we die is better than the day that we are born.
and now they have peace.
They continually lived righteously,
and now they rest peacefully in their graves.
Some day, it will be as though [MET] the people who walked in darkness will see a great light.
A great light will shine on those who live in a land where they have great troubles/distress.
But Yahweh said to him, "You must not eat the fruit of the tree that will enable you to know what actions are good to do and what actions are evil to do. If you eat any fruit from that tree, on that day your relationship with me will end. But I will permit you to eat the fruit of any of the other trees in the park/garden."
No one can [RHQ] keep on living and never die;
◄No one can [RHQ] avoid going/Everyone will go► to the place of the dead.
(Think about that!)
◄Where could I go to escape from your Spirit?/I could not go anywhere to escape from your Spirit.► [RHQ]
◄Where could I go to get away from you?/I could not go anywhere to get away from you.► [RHQ]
If I went up to heaven, you would be there.
If I lay down in the place where the dead people are, you would be there.
Keep me close to you,
like [SIM] a seal on your heart,
or like [SIM] a bracelet on your arm.
Our love for each other is as powerful as death,
it is as enduring as the grave.
It is as though our love for each other bursts into flames
and burns like a hot fire.
"It is almost time for me to die, like everyone does [EUP]. You know in your hearts [DOU] that Yahweh has done for you [LIT] everything that he promised to do.
I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I am not pleased about your dying. So repent, and remain alive!"
As that happened, Jesus shouted loudly, "Father, I put my spirit into your care [MTY]!" When he said that, he [EUP] died.
In the place where dead people wait for God to judge them, he was suffering great pain. He looked up and saw Abraham far away, and he saw Lazarus sitting close to Abraham. So he shouted, ‘Father Abraham, I am suffering very much in this fire! So please pity me, and send Lazarus here so that he can dip his finger in water and touch my tongue to cool it!’
Then, because they have desired [MET] to do evil [PRS] things, they begin to [MET] do [PRS] them. And when they have become ones who habitually do what is evil [MET], if they do not turn away from their sinful behavior, they will be separated from God forever.
