Orgulho
O orgulho é um dos pecados mais condenados na Bíblia. Deus resiste aos soberbos, mas dá graça aos humildes. A humildade é o caminho da honra verdadeira.
Deus resiste ao soberbo
A soberba precede a ruína e o orgulho antecede a queda. Deus abomina o coração altivo e promete humilhar quem se exalta.
Pride comes before destruction,
and an arrogant spirit before a fall.
Everyone with a proud heart is detestable to the Lord;
be assured, he will not go unpunished.
There is a way that seems right to a person,
but its end is the way to death.
To fear the Lord is to hate evil.
I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct,
and perverse speech.
When arrogance comes, disgrace follows,
but with humility comes wisdom.

A person’s pride will humble him,

but he protects the widow’s territory.
Humildade como caminho
Humilhai-vos diante do Senhor e Ele vos exaltará. A grandeza no Reino vem pelo serviço humilde, não pela autopromoção.
But he gives greater grace. Therefore he says:
God resists the proud
but gives grace to the humble.,
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Let the brother of humble circumstances boast in his exaltation, but let the rich boast in his humiliation because he will pass away like a flower of the field.
In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because
God resists the proud
but gives grace to the humble.,
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your cares on him, because he cares about you.
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted."
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. Everyone should look not to his own interests, but rather to the interests of others.
Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus,
Os perigos do orgulho
O orgulho cega, gera contendas e afasta de Deus. A Escritura adverte contra a soberba da vida e a vã glória mundana.
For everything in the world — the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride in one’s possessions — is not from the Father, but is from the world.
So, whoever thinks he stands must be careful not to fall.
And if I give away all my possessions, and if I give over my body in order to boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.
God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world — what is viewed as nothing — to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence.
So let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.,For it is not the one commending himself who is approved, but the one the Lord commends.
And he said, "What comes out of a person is what defiles him.For from within, out of people’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immoralities,thefts, murders,adulteries,greed,evil actions, deceit,self-indulgence,envy,slander,pride,and foolishness.All these evil things come from within and defile a person."
Arrogance leads to nothing but strife,
but wisdom is gained by those who take advice.
Humility, the fear of the Lord,
results in wealth, honor, and life.
Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be arrogant or to set their hope on the uncertainty of wealth, but on God, who richly provides us with all things to enjoy.
O olhar de Deus
O Senhor não olha como o homem. Ele vê o coração e se agrada dos quebrantados de espírito e dos que tremem diante da sua Palavra.
But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or his stature because I have rejected him. Humans do not see what the Lord sees, for humans see what is visible, but the Lord sees the heart."
Do not boast so proudly,
or let arrogant words come out of your mouth,
for the Lord is a God of knowledge,
and actions are weighed by him.
My hand made all these things,
and so they all came into being.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
I will look favorably on this kind of person:
one who is humble, submissive in spirit,
and trembles at my word.
Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt, and glorify the King of the heavens, because all his works are true and his ways are just. He is able to humble those who walk in pride.
The king of Israel answered, "Say this: ‘Don’t let the one who puts on his armor boast like the one who takes it off.’ "
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud; instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The law is not against such things.
