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 haughtiness before a fall.
The Lord detests the proud;
they will surely be punished.
There is a path before each person that seems right,
but it ends in death.
All who fear the Lord will hate evil.
Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance,
corruption and perverse speech.
Pride leads to disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.
Pride leads to disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.
Pride ends in humiliation,
while humility brings honor.
Pride ends in humiliation,
while humility brings honor.
Haughtiness goes before destruction;
humility precedes honor.
Haughtiness goes before destruction;
humility precedes honor.
The Lord tears down the house of the proud,
but he protects the property of widows.
Humildade como caminho
Humilhai-vos diante do Senhor e Ele vos exaltará. A grandeza no Reino vem pelo serviço humilde, não pela autopromoção.
And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say,
"God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble."
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.
Believers who are poor have something to boast about, for God has honored them. And those who are rich should boast that God has humbled them. They will fade away like a little flower in the field.
In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for
"God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble."
So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."
Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
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 the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.
If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.
If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.
As the Scriptures say, "If you want to boast, boast only about the Lord."
When people commend themselves, it doesn’t count for much. The important thing is for the Lord to commend them.
And then he added, "It is what comes from inside that defiles you.For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder,adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you."
Pride leads to conflict;
those who take advice are wise.
True humility and fear of the Lord
lead to riches, honor, and long life.
Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment.
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, "Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
"Stop acting so proud and haughty!
Don’t speak with such arrogance!
For the Lord is a God who knows what you have done;
he will judge your actions.
My hands have made both heaven and earth;
they and everything in them are mine.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
"I will bless those who have humble and contrite hearts,
who tremble at my word.
"Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and glorify and honor the King of heaven. All his acts are just and true, and he is able to humble the proud."
The king of Israel sent back this answer: "A warrior putting on his sword for battle should not boast like a warrior who has already won."
Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
