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 the Word already was. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
In the beginning the Word already was. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The Word became human and lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son, full of grace and truth.
The Word became human and lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son, full of grace and truth.
God said, "Let there be light!" and there was light.
The Son is the radiant glory of God, and the visible expression of his true character. He sustains everything by his powerful command. When he had provided cleansing for sin he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
Through our trust in God we understand that the whole universe was created by God’s command, that what can be seen was made out of what cannot be seen.
The Lord spoke the word and the heavens were made; his mouth breathed all the stars into existence.
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.
For God’s word is alive and effective, sharper than any twin-edged sword, so penetrating it separates life and breath, bone joints and their marrow, judging the thoughts and intentions of the mind.

Doesn’t my word burn like fire? asks the Lord. Isn’t it like a hammer smashing a rock?
Wear the helmet of salvation, and carry the sword of the Spirit—the Spirit that’s the word of God.
Toda Escritura é inspirada
Toda a Escritura é inspirada por Deus e útil para ensino, correção e instrução na justiça. Ela é perfeita e imutável.
All Scripture inspired by God is useful for teaching, for confronting what is wrong, for setting us straight, and for telling us what is right.

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 shows me where to walk, it’s a light for my path.
Your word is a lamp that shows me where to walk, it’s a light for my path.
Studying your words brings light so that even the uneducated can understand.
Your word, Lord, lasts forever. It stands firm in the heavens.
How does a young person remain pure? By following what you say.
I keep what you say in mind so I won’t sin against you.
Your word can be summed up in one word: truth! All of your just laws 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.
But do what the word says—don’t just listen to it and delude yourselves.
But do what the word says—don’t just listen to it and delude yourselves.
But do what the word says—don’t just listen to it and delude yourselves. If you just listen to the word, and don’t act on it, it’s like staring at your own face in a mirror. You see yourself, but then you leave, and immediately forget what you looked like.
So get rid of all that’s filthy and evil. Humbly accept the word that’s been implanted within you—for this is what can save you.
Everyone that hears the words I say, and follows them, is like a wise man who built his house on solid rock.
Jesus answered, "As Scripture says, ‘Human beings do not live by only eating bread, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’"
Jesus answered, "As Scripture says, ‘Human beings do not live by only eating bread, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’"
But Jesus said, "Even more blessed are those who hear God’s word, and follow what it says."
"It is written in Scripture, ‘You shall not live on bread alone,’" Jesus answered.
They were all amazed and asked each other, "What is this teaching? With power and authority he orders evil spirits to leave—and they do!"
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.
Heaven and earth may pass away, but my words won’t pass away.
Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my teachings will not.
However, even though the grass wilts and the flower fades, the word of our God will endure forever."
For the word of the Lord is true, and he is trustworthy in everything he does.
For the word of the Lord is true, and he is trustworthy in everything he does.
Every word God says has been proved true. He defends everyone who comes to him for protection.
The Lord is the source of wisdom; what he says provides knowledge that makes sense.

O poder da Palavra
A Palavra transforma, sara e liberta. Quem permanece na Palavra de Jesus conhece a verdade, e a verdade o liberta.
Then Jesus said to those Jews who trusted in him, "If you follow my teaching then you really are my disciples.
Then Jesus said to those Jews who trusted in him, "If you follow my teaching then you really are my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
I tell you the truth, anyone who follows my teaching will never die."
I tell you the truth: those who follow what I say and trust the one who sent me have eternal life. They won’t be condemned, but have gone from death to life.
Jesus replied, "Those who love me will do as I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with them.
You are already pruned and made clean through what I’ve told you.
Make them holy by the truth; your word is truth.
After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered what he said, and so they believed in Scripture and Jesus' own words.
and because of what he told them many more trusted in him.
If you trust in me, you will have streams of life-giving water flowing out from within you, as Scripture says."
Meditar na Palavra
A meditação na Palavra traz prosperidade e bom sucesso. Ela é fonte de sabedoria, consolo e orientação para toda a vida.
Keep on reminding the people about the law. Meditate on it day and night, so you can be sure to do what it requires. Then you will be successful and prosper in what you do.
When I received your messages, I ate them up! What you said made me really happy—I was delighted. I belong to you, Lord God Almighty!
For if you declare that you accept Jesus as Lord, and you are convinced in your mind that God raised him from the dead, then you will be saved. Your trust in God makes you right and good, and your declaration of accepting God saves you.
I thank God for his promises. I trust in God, so why should I be fearful? What can mere human beings do to me?
God’s way is absolutely right. What the Lord says is trustworthy. He is a shield to all who come to him for protection.
You protect me with the shield of your salvation; you support me with your powerful right hand; your help has made me great.
You gave me space in which to walk, and prevented my feet from slipping.
Who of you wants to live a long and happy life?
Then don’t let your tongue speak evil, or your lips tell lies.
He humbled you, and when you were hungry he gave you manna to eat, which nobody, including you and your forefathers, had ever had before. This was in order to make it clear to you that human beings do not live by only eating bread, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
You should become like newborn babies who only want pure spiritual milk, so you can grow in salvation
So then, if you’re encouraged by being in Christ, if you’re comforted by his love, if you share together in the Spirit, if you have compassion and sympathy— then make my joy complete by thinking the same way and loving the same way, spiritually united and having one purpose. Don’t do anything from a spirit of selfishness or pride, but humbly think of others better than you do of yourself. None of you should be preoccupied about your own things—instead concern yourself with the interests of others too.
The attitude you should have is the same as that of Christ Jesus. Though in his nature he was always God, he wasn’t concerned to cling onto his equality with God. Instead he emptied himself, taking the nature of a servant, becoming like a human being. Coming in human form, humbling himself, he submitted himself to death—even death on a cross.
That’s why God placed him in the position of greatest honor and power, and gave him the most prestigious name— so that in the name of Jesus everyone should bow in respect, whether in heaven or on earth or under the earth, and all will declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
So, my good friends, continue to work towards the goal of salvation with complete reverence and respect for God, following what you were told—not just when I was with you, but even more so now I’m away from you. For it’s God who is working within you, creating the will and the ability to do what he wants you to do. Do everything without complaining or arguing so that you’ll be sincere, innocent of any wrong. Be God’s blameless children living in the middle of a dishonest and corrupt people. Shine among them as lights to the world, holding out to them the word of life. That way I’ll have something to be proud of when Christ returns, proving I didn’t run around and work for nothing! So even if I pour out my life as a sacrifice and offering so you may trust in God, I’m happy for it, and I’m glad together with all of you, just as you have such joy and are glad with me.
I’m hoping, if that’s what the Lord Jesus wants, to send Timothy to you soon. It will cheer me up once I know how you’re doing. I don’t know anyone who genuinely cares about you as he does. Other people only worry about their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. But you already know what he’s like—just as a child working to help his father, so he’s worked with me to spread the good news. So I hope to send him as soon as I see how I’m doing, and I trust in the Lord that shortly I’ll be able to come too. But I thought it was important to send Epaphroditus to you. He’s a brother to me, a co-worker and fellow-soldier. He’s the one you sent to look after me, and he’s been longing to see all of you, worried about you because you’d heard he was sick. He certainly was sick—he nearly died—but God had mercy on him. Not just on him, but on me too, so that I wouldn’t have tragedy upon tragedy. That’s why I’m so keen to send him, so that when you see him you’ll be happy, and I won’t have to be so anxious. So welcome him with much happiness in the Lord. Honor people like him, because in working for Christ he nearly died, putting his life on the line to make up for the help you weren’t in a position to give me.
Palavras de vida
As palavras de Deus são espírito e vida. Quem fala deve falar como oráculos de Deus, com verdade, sabedoria e edificação.
Some people’s hasty words cut like a knife, but the words of the wise bring healing.
If you’re anxious, you’re weighed down, but an encouraging word will cheer you up.
What good people say is a spring that gives life, but what the wicked say hides their violent nature.
A kind reply wards off anger, but hurtful words make people mad.
Make sure you’re satisfied with what you say—you have to live with your words.
What you say has the power to bring life or to kill; those who love talking will have to deal with the consequences.
But what comes out through the mouth comes from the mind, and that’s what defiles you. For what comes from the mind are evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, and blasphemy
I tell you, people will have to account for every careless thing they say on the Day of Judgment. For what you say will either vindicate you or condemn you."
You viper’s brood, how can you who are evil say anything good? For your mouth simply says what your mind is busy thinking about.
All of us make mistakes in many ways. Anyone who doesn’t make mistakes in what they say is truly a good person who can keep the whole body under control.
We put bridles into the mouths of horses so that they’ll obey us, and we can direct them wherever we want. Look at ships as well: even though they’re very big and are driven along by strong winds, they’re steered by a very small rudder in the direction the pilot wants to go.
In just the same way the tongue is a very small part of the body, but it makes great boasts! Think how a big forest can be set on fire by a very small flame! And the tongue is a fire! The tongue is a world of evil among the parts of the body. It disgraces all you are as a person, and can burn down the whole of your life, since it is set on fire by Gehenna. People have tamed all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and sea creatures, but no one can tame the tongue—it’s an evil thing, hard to control, full of deadly poison.
Trusting in God comes from hearing—hearing the message of Christ.
It’s not that they haven’t heard. Quite the opposite: "The voices of those speaking for God have been heard all over the earth—their message went out to the whole world."
