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 stumbling.
Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
Be assured, he will not go unpunished.
There is a way which seems right to a person,
But its end is the way of death.
"The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
Pride, arrogance, the evil way,
And the perverted mouth, I hate.
When pride comes, then comes dishonor;
But with the humble there is wisdom.
When pride comes, then comes dishonor;
But with the humble there is wisdom.
A person’s pride will bring him low,
But a humble spirit will obtain honor.
A person’s pride will bring him low,
But a humble spirit will obtain honor.
Before destruction the heart of a person is haughty,
But humility goes before honor.
Before destruction the heart of a person is haughty,
But humility goes before honor.
The Lord will tear down the house of the proud,
But He will set the boundary 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 a greater grace. Therefore it says, "God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
Now the brother or sister of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position; but the rich person is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.
You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God is opposed to the proud, but He gives grace to the humble.
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time, having cast all your anxiety 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 from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves 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 lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
Therefore let the one who thinks he stands watch out that he does not fall.
And if I give away all my possessions to charity, and if I surrender my body so that I may glory, but do not have love, it does me no good.
and the insignificant things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no human may boast before God.
But the one who boasts is to boast in the Lord. For it is not the one who commends himself that is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
And He was saying, "That which comes out of the person, that is what defiles the person.For from within, out of the hearts of people, come the evil thoughts, acts of sexual immorality, thefts, murders, acts of adultery,deeds of greed, wickedness, deceit, indecent behavior, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.All these evil things come from within and defile the person."
Through overconfidence comes nothing but strife,
But wisdom is with those who receive counsel.
The reward of humility andthe fear of the Lord
Are riches, honor, and life.
Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies 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 at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God does not see as man sees, since man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
"Do not go on boasting so very proudly,
Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth;
For the Lord is a God of knowledge,
And with Him actions are weighed.
"For My hand made all these things,
So all these things came into being," declares the Lord.
"But I will look to this one,
At one who is humble and contrite in spirit, and who trembles at My word.
Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt, and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just; and He is able to humble those who walk in pride."
Then the king of Israel replied, "Tell him, ‘He who straps on his weapons had better not boast like one who takes them off.’ "
Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
