Orgulho

Por Bíblia Online –

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.

18 Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

25 There is a way that seemeth right to a man, but the end of it is the ways of death.

13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.

23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.

12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor is humility.

12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor is humility.

25 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border 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.

6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.

10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will lift you up.

9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves to the elder. Yes, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

11 For whoever exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

3 Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.5 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.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.

3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness;23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well-advised is wisdom.

4 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honor, and life.

17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly 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.

7 But the LORD said to Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the hight of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogance come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

2 For all these things hath my hand made, and all these things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

11 And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.

16 Be of the same mind one towards another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
