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 goes before destruction,
and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Everyone who is proud in heart is detestable to the LORD;
be assured that he will not go unpunished.
There is a way that seems right to a man,
but its end is the way of death.
To fear the LORD is to hate evil;
I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech.
When pride comes, disgrace follows,
but with humility comes wisdom.
When pride comes, disgrace follows,
but with humility comes wisdom.
A man’s pride will bring him low,
but a humble spirit will obtain honor.
A man’s pride will bring him low,
but a humble spirit will obtain honor.
Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud,
but humility comes before honor.
Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud,
but humility comes before honor.
The LORD tears down the house of the proud,
but He protects the boundaries of the widow.
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 us more grace. This is why it says:
"God opposes the proud,
but gives grace to the humble."
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position. But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.
Young men, in the same way, submit yourselves to your elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
"God opposes the proud,
but gives grace to the humble."
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for 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 empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Let this mind be in you which was also in 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 all that is in the world — the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life — is not from the Father but from the world.
So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.
If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.
He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast in His presence.
Rather, "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
He continued: "What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him. For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,Many texts move adultery to verse 22. greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness. All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man."
Arrogance leads only to strife,
but wisdom is with the well-advised.
The rewards of humility and the fear of the LORD
are wealth and honor and life.
Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be conceited and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides all things for us 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 consider his appearance or height, for I have rejected him; the LORD does not see as man does. For man sees the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart."
Do not boast so proudly,
or let arrogance come from your mouth,
for the LORD is a God who knows,
and by Him actions are weighed.
Has not My hand made all these things?
And so they came into being,"
declares the LORD.
"This is the one I will esteem:
he who is humble and contrite in spirit,
who trembles at My word.
Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, for all His works are true and all His ways are just. And He is able to humble those who walk in pride.
And the king of Israel replied, "Tell him: ‘The one putting on his armor should not boast like one taking it off.’"
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
