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 word, [that is, God’s son], and the word was at God, and God was the word.

Which when also he is the brightness of glory, and [the] figure of his substance, and beareth all things by word of his virtue, he maketh purgation of sins, and sitteth on the right half of the majesty in heavens;
By faith we understand that the worlds were made [or were shaped] by God’s word, that visible things were made of invisible things.
Heavens be made steadfast by the word of the Lord; and all the virtue of those [or them] by the spirit of his mouth.
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 the word of God is quick, and speedy in working, and more able to pierce than any twain-edged sword, and stretcheth forth [till] to the parting of the soul and of the spirit, and of the jointures and marrows, and [it is the] deemer of thoughts, and of intents of hearts.

Whether my words be not as fire burning, saith the Lord, and as an hammer all-breaking a stone?
And take ye the helmet of health, and the sword of the Ghost, that is, the word of God.

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Meditar na Palavra
A meditação na Palavra traz prosperidade e bom sucesso. Ela é fonte de sabedoria, consolo e orientação para toda a vida.
The book of this law depart not from thy mouth, but thou shalt think therein in days and nights, that thou keep and do all things that be written therein; then thou shalt dress thy way, and thou shalt understand it.

Therefore if any comfort is in Christ, if any solace of charity, if any fellowship of Spirit, if any inwardness of mercy doing,
[ful] fill ye my joy, that ye under-stand the same thing, and have the same charity, of one will, and feel the same thing;
nothing [doing] by strife, neither by vain glory, but in meekness, deeming each other to be higher [in virtue] than himself;
not beholding each by himself what things be his own, but those things that be of other men.
And feel ye this thing in you, which was also in Christ Jesus;
which when he was in the form of God, deemed not raven, that himself were even to God [or himself to be even to God],
but he lowed [or meeked] himself, taking the form of a servant, and was made into the likeness of men,
and in habit was found as a man. He meeked himself, and was made obedient to the death, yea, to the death of the cross.
For which thing God enhanced him, and gave to him a name that is above all name;

that ye be without complaint, and simple as the sons of God, without reproof, in the middle of a shrewd nation and a wayward; among which ye shine as givers of light in the world.
And hold ye together the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ; for I have not run in vain, neither I have travailed in vain.
But though I be offered or slain on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I have joy, and I thank you all.
And for the same thing have ye joy, and [together] thank ye me.
And I hope in the Lord Jesus, that I shall send Timothy soon to you, that I be of good comfort, when those things be known that be about you.
For I have no man so of one will, that is busy for you with clean affection.
For all men seek those things that be their own, not those that be of Christ Jesus.
But know ye the assay of him, for as a son to the father he hath served with me in the gospel.
Therefore I hope that I shall send him to you, anon as I see what things be about me.
And I trust in the Lord, that also myself shall come to you soon.
And I guessed it needful to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and even-worker, and mine even-knight, but your apostle, and the minister of my need.
For he desired you all, and he was sorrowful, therefore that ye heard that he was sick.
For he was sick to the death, but God had mercy on him; and not only on him, but also on me, lest I had heaviness on heaviness.
Therefore more hastily I sent him, that when ye have seen him, ye have joy again, and I be without heaviness.
Therefore receive ye him with all joy in the Lord, and have ye such with all honour.
For the work of Christ he went to death, giving his life, that he should fulfill that that failed of you with my service.
