A Palavra de Deus
A Palavra de Deus é viva, eficaz e eterna. Desde 'No princípio era o Verbo' até 'O céu e a terra passarão, mas as minhas palavras não hão de passar', ela é a revelação suprema do Criador.
No princípio era o Verbo
A Palavra é Deus encarnado. No princípio era o Verbo, o Verbo estava com Deus, e o Verbo era Deus. Todas as coisas foram feitas por Ele.
In the beginning was the one
who is called the Word.
The Word was with God
and was truly God.

The Word became
a human being
and lived here with us.
We saw his true glory,
the glory of the only Son
of the Father.
From him the complete gifts
of undeserved grace and truth
have come down to us.

God said, "I command light to shine!" And light started shining.
God’s Son has all the brightness of God’s own glory and is like him in every way. By his own mighty word, he holds the universe together.
After the Son had washed away our sins, he sat down at the right side of the glorious God in heaven.
Because of our faith, we know that the world was made at God’s command. We also know that what can be seen was made out of what cannot be seen.
The Lord made the heavens
and everything in them
by his word.
A Palavra é viva e eficaz
A Palavra de Deus é mais cortante que espada de dois gumes. Ela julga pensamentos e intenções do coração, transforma e liberta.
God’s word is alive and powerful! It is sharper than any double-edged sword. His word can cut through our spirits and souls and through our joints and marrow, until it discovers the desires and thoughts of our hearts.

My words are a powerful fire; they are a hammer that shatters rocks.
Let God’s saving power be like a helmet, and for a sword use God’s message that comes from the Spirit.

Luz para o caminho
A Palavra é lâmpada para os pés e luz para nosso caminho. Ela ilumina, orienta e protege o que nela medita dia e noite.
Your word is a lamp
that gives light
wherever I walk.

brings light to the minds
of ordinary people.

Your word will last as long
as the heavens.
Young people can live
a clean life

I treasure your word
above all else;
it keeps me from sinning
against you.
All you say can be trusted;
your teachings are true
and will last forever.
Obedecer a Palavra
Seja praticante da Palavra e não apenas ouvinte. Jesus disse que quem ouve e pratica é como o homem sábio que edificou sobre a rocha.
Obey God’s message! Don’t fool yourselves by just listening to it.
Obey God’s message! Don’t fool yourselves by just listening to it.
Obey God’s message! Don’t fool yourselves by just listening to it. If you hear the message and don’t obey it, you are like people who stare at themselves in a mirror and forget what they look like as soon as they leave.
You must stop doing anything immoral or evil. Instead be humble and accept the message planted in you to save you.
Anyone who hears and obeys these teachings of mine is like a wise person who built a house on solid rock.
Jesus answered, "The Scriptures say:
‘No one can live only on food.
People need every word
that God has spoken.’ "
Jesus answered, "The Scriptures say:
‘No one can live only on food.
People need every word
that God has spoken.’ "
Jesus replied, "That’s true, but the people who are really blessed are the ones who hear and obey God’s message!"
Jesus answered, "The Scriptures say, ‘No one can live only on food.’ "
They all were amazed and kept saying to each other, "What kind of teaching is this? He has power to order evil spirits out of people!"
A Palavra que permanece
Céus e terra passarão, mas as palavras de Jesus jamais passarão. A Palavra do Senhor permanece para sempre — eterna e infalível.
The sky and the earth won’t last forever, but my words will.
The sky and the earth will not last forever, but my words will.
Flowers and grass fade away,
but what our God has said
will never change.
The Lord is truthful;
he can be trusted.
The Lord is truthful;
he can be trusted.
Everything God says is true—
and it’s a shield for all
who come to him for safety.
All wisdom comes from the Lord,
and so do common sense
and understanding.

O poder da Palavra
A Palavra transforma, sara e liberta. Quem permanece na Palavra de Jesus conhece a verdade, e a verdade o liberta.
Jesus told the people who had faith in him, "If you keep on obeying what I have said, you truly are my disciples.
Jesus told the people who had faith in him, "If you keep on obeying what I have said, you truly are my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
I tell you for certain that if you obey my words, you will never die."
I tell you for certain that everyone who hears my message and has faith in the one who sent me has eternal life and will never be condemned. They have already gone from death to life.
Jesus replied:
If anyone loves me, they will obey me. Then my Father will love them, and we will come to them and live in them.
You are already clean because of what I have said to you.
Your word is the truth. So let this truth make them completely yours.
And when he was raised from death, his disciples remembered what he had told them. Then they believed the Scriptures and the words of Jesus.
Many more Samaritans put their faith in Jesus because of what they heard him say.
Have faith in me, and you will have life-giving water flowing from deep inside you, just as the Scriptures say."
Meditar na Palavra
A meditação na Palavra traz prosperidade e bom sucesso. Ela é fonte de sabedoria, consolo e orientação para toda a vida.
Long ago I promised the ancestors of Israel that I would give this land to their descendants. So be strong and brave! Be careful to do everything my servant Moses taught you. Never stop reading The Book of the Law he gave you. Day and night you must think about what it says. If you obey it completely, you and Israel will be able to take this land.
When you spoke to me,
I was glad to obey,
because I belong to you,
the Lord All-Powerful.
So you will be saved, if you honestly say, "Jesus is Lord," and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death. God will accept you and save you, if you truly believe this and tell it to others.
I praise your promises!
I trust you and am not afraid.
No one can harm me.
Your way is perfect, Lord,
and your word is correct.
You are a shield for those
who run to you for help.
You alone are my shield.
Your right hand supports me,
and by coming to help me,
you have made me famous.
You clear the way for me,
and now I won’t stumble.
Do you want to live
and enjoy a long life?
Then don’t say cruel things
and don’t tell lies.
so he made you go hungry. Then he gave you manna, a kind of food that you and your ancestors had never even heard about. The Lord was teaching you that people need more than food to live—they need every word that the Lord has spoken.
Be like newborn babies who are thirsty for the pure spiritual milk that will help you grow and be saved.
Christ encourages you, and his love comforts you. God’s Spirit unites you, and you are concerned for others. Now make me completely happy! Live in harmony by showing love for each other. Be united in what you think, as if you were only one person. Don’t be jealous or proud, but be humble and consider others more important than yourselves. Care about them as much as you care about yourselves and think the same way that Christ Jesus thought:
Christ was truly God.
But he did not try to remain
equal with God.
Instead he gave up everything
and became a slave,
when he became
like one of us.
Christ was humble.
He obeyed God and even died
on a cross.
Then God gave Christ
the highest place
and honored his name
above all others.
So at the name of Jesus
everyone will bow down,
those in heaven, on earth,
and under the earth.
And to the glory
of God the Father
everyone will openly agree,
"Jesus Christ is Lord!"
My dear friends, you always obeyed when I was with you. Now that I am away, you should obey even more. So work with fear and trembling to discover what it really means to be saved. God is working in you to make you willing and able to obey him.
Do everything without grumbling or arguing. Then you will be the pure and innocent children of God. You live among people who are crooked and evil, but you must not do anything they can say is wrong. Try to shine as lights among the people of this world, as you hold firmly to the message that gives life. Then on the day when Christ returns, I can take pride in you. I can also know that my work and efforts were not useless.
Your faith in the Lord and your service are like a sacrifice offered to him. And my own blood may have to be poured out with the sacrifice. If this happens, I will be glad and rejoice with you. In the same way, you should be glad and rejoice with me.
I want to be encouraged by news about you. So I hope the Lord Jesus will soon let me send Timothy to you. I don’t have anyone else who cares about you as much as he does. The others think only about what interests them and not about what concerns Christ Jesus. But you know what kind of person Timothy is. He has worked with me like a son in spreading the good news. I hope to send him to you, as soon as I find out what is going to happen to me. And I feel sure the Lord will also let me come soon.
I think I ought to send my dear friend Epaphroditus back to you. He is a follower and a worker and a soldier of the Lord, just as I am. You sent him to look after me, but now he is eager to see you. He is worried, because you heard he was sick. In fact, he was very sick and almost died. But God was kind to him, and also to me, and he kept me from being burdened down with sorrow.
Now I am more eager than ever to send Epaphroditus back again. You will be glad to see him, and I won’t have to worry any longer. Be sure to give him a cheerful welcome, just as people who serve the Lord deserve. He almost died working for Christ, and he risked his own life to do for me what you could not.
Palavras de vida
As palavras de Deus são espírito e vida. Quem fala deve falar como oráculos de Deus, com verdade, sabedoria e edificação.
Sharp words cut like a sword,
but words of wisdom heal.
Worry is a heavy burden,
but a kind word
always brings cheer.
The words of good people
are a source of life,
but evil hides behind
the words of the wicked.
A kind answer
soothes angry feelings,
but harsh words
stir them up.
Make your words good—
you will be glad you did.
Words can bring death or life!
Talk too much, and you will eat
everything you say.
But the words that come out of your mouth come from your heart. And they are what make you unfit to worship God. Out of your heart come evil thoughts, murder, unfaithfulness in marriage, vulgar deeds, stealing, telling lies, and insulting others.
I promise you on the day of judgment, everyone will have to account for every careless word they have spoken. On that day they will be told they are either innocent or guilty because of the things they have said.
You are a bunch of evil snakes, so how can you say anything good? Your words show what is in your hearts.
All of us do many wrong things. But if you can control your tongue, you are mature and able to control your whole body.
By putting a bit into the mouth of a horse, we can turn the horse in different directions. It takes strong winds to move a large sailing ship, but the captain uses only a small rudder to make it go in any direction. Our tongues are small too, and yet they brag about big things.
It takes only a spark to start a forest fire! The tongue is like a spark. It is an evil power that dirties the rest of the body and sets a person’s entire life on fire with flames that come from hell itself. All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and sea creatures can be tamed and have been tamed. But our tongues get out of control. They are restless and evil, and always spreading deadly poison.
No one can have faith without hearing the message about Christ. But am I saying that the people of Israel did not hear? No, I am not! The Scriptures say,
"The message was told
everywhere on earth.
It was announced
all over the world."
