Obediência

22 "Does the Lord prefer burnt offerings and sacrifices, or obedience to what he says?" Samuel asked. "Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice. Paying attention is more important than offering the fat of rams.

29 But Peter and the apostles answered, "We have to obey God rather than men.

32 We are witnesses of what happened, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."

8 Even though he was God’s Son, Jesus learned through suffering what obedience really means.* 9 When his experience was complete,* he became the source of eternal salvation to everyone who does what he says,

15 If you love me, you will keep my commands.

23 Jesus replied, "Those who love me will do as I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with them.

3 Loving God means that we follow his commands, and his commands are not hard to bear.

21 Dear friends, if we’re reassured we’re not in the wrong, we can have confidence before God. 22 We’ll receive from him whatever we ask him for, because we follow his commands and do what pleases him.

46 So why do you bother to call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ when you don’t do what I say?

23 "If any one of you wants to follow me, you must deny yourself, pick up your cross daily, and follow me," Jesus told all of them.

22 But do what the word says—don’t just listen to it and delude yourselves.

7 So place yourself under God’s direction. Confront the devil, and he will run away from you.

8 Keep on reminding the people about the law.* Meditate on it day and night, so you can be sure to do what it requires. Then you will be successful and prosper in what you do.

20 My son, pay attention to your father’s instruction, and don’t reject your mother’s teaching.

17 If you accept instruction, you’re on the path to life, but if you reject correction you’ll go astray.

1 If you truly obey what the Lord your God tells you, and carefully follow all his commandments that I’m giving you today, then the Lord your God will place you high above all the nations of the earth.

29 I only wish they really did respect me and always kept my commandments so that they and their children would do well for all time.

33 Follow all the ways the Lord your God has shown you, so that you do well and live long lives in the country that you will occupy.

19 So whoever disregards* the least important commandment, and teaches people to do so, will be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches the commandments will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

58 So my dear brothers and sisters: be strong, stand firm, doing everything you can for the Lord’s work, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord is wasted.

19 Just as through one man’s disobedience many became sinners, in the same way through one man’s obedience many are made right with God.

20 When the law was introduced, sin became even more obvious. But while sin became much more obvious, grace became even more obvious!

1 So I encourage you, my brothers and sisters, because of God’s compassion* for you, to dedicate your bodies as a living offering that is holy and pleasing to God. This is the logical way to worship.

2 Don’t follow the ways of this world; instead be transformed by the spiritual renewal of your mind so you can demonstrate what God’s will really is—good, pleasing, and perfect.

11 Don’t be unwilling to work hard; serve the Lord with an enthusiastic spirit.

14 All those who are led by the Spirit of God are God’s children.

1 Everyone should obey government authorities, because no one has the power to rule unless God gives permission. These authorities have been put there by God.

32 Pray that I will come to you with gladness, as God wills, so we can enjoy one another’s company.

11 and all will declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

14 Live like children who do what they’re told. Don’t allow yourselves to be shaped by your former sinful desires when you didn’t know any better.

27 "You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and your whole spirit, and your whole strength, and your whole mind; and love your neighbor as yourself,"* the man replied.

27 But I say to those of you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. 28 Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you.

3 Do what God orders you to do, and follow his ways. Keep his rules, his commands, and his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses, so you may be successful in everything you do, and in everything you give your attention to.

44 As soon as they hear of me, they obey; foreigners cringe before me.

16 You didn’t choose me, I chose you. I have given you the responsibility to go and produce lasting fruit. So the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.

2 If you will not listen and if you will not take it to heart to honor me, says the Lord Almighty, then I will place a curse on you and I will curse your blessings—in fact I have already cursed them because you haven’t taken what I said to heart.
