Paciência
A paciência é fruto do Espírito e virtude essencial da vida cristã. Deus é paciente conosco, e nos chama a ser pacientes com os outros e nas provações.
A paciência de Deus
Deus é clemente e tardio em irar-se. Sua paciência revela seu desejo de que todos se arrependam e cheguem ao conhecimento da verdade.
The Lord is merciful and loving,
slow to become angry and full of constant love.
The Lord is not slow to do what he has promised, as some think. Instead, he is patient with you, because he does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants all to turn away from their sins.
But do not forget one thing, my dear friends! There is no difference in the Lord’s sight between one day and a thousand years; to him the two are the same.
Let your broken heart show your sorrow;
tearing your clothes is not enough."
Come back to the Lord your God.
He is kind and full of mercy;
he is patient and keeps his promise;
he is always ready to forgive and not punish.
but God was merciful to me in order that Christ Jesus might show his full patience in dealing with me, the worst of sinners, as an example for all those who would later believe in him and receive eternal life.
And yet the Lord is waiting to be merciful to you. He is ready to take pity on you because he always does what is right. Happy are those who put their trust in the Lord.
Esperar com paciência
Os que esperam no Senhor renovam as forças. A paciência produz caráter, e o caráter produz esperança que não decepciona.
Trust in the Lord.
Have faith, do not despair.
Trust in the Lord.
Be patient and wait for the Lord to act;
don’t be worried about those who prosper
or those who succeed in their evil plans.
you hear my voice in the morning;
at sunrise I offer my prayer
and wait for your answer.
But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Let your hope keep you joyful, be patient in your troubles, and pray at all times.
The Lord will fight for you, and all you have to do is keep still."
Paciência nas provações
O amor é paciente. A paciência é marca de maturidade espiritual e nos permite perseverar mesmo quando as circunstâncias são adversas.
Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs;
So let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest.
And may God, the source of patience and encouragement, enable you to have the same point of view among yourselves by following the example of Christ Jesus,
Be always humble, gentle, and patient. Show your love by being tolerant with one another.
You are the people of God; he loved you and chose you for his own. So then, you must clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
to preach the message, to insist upon proclaiming it (whether the time is right or not), to convince, reproach, and encourage, as you teach with all patience.
Perseverança até o fim
Quem perseverar até o fim será salvo. O domínio próprio é maior que a conquista de uma cidade.
But whoever holds out to the end will be saved.
Watch out, then, because you do not know what day your Lord will come.
It is better to be patient than powerful. It is better to win control over yourself than over whole cities.
If you stay calm, you are wise, but if you have a hot temper, you only show how stupid you are.
I am coming soon. Keep safe what you have, so that no one will rob you of your victory prize.
His anger lasts only a moment,
his goodness for a lifetime.
Tears may flow in the night,
but joy comes in the morning.
