Saúde
A saúde é uma bênção de Deus. A Bíblia ensina que Deus é nosso curador, que devemos cuidar do corpo como templo do Espírito e que a alegria do Senhor renova nossas forças.
Deus, o nosso curador
O Senhor é quem sara todas as nossas doenças. Ele prometeu abençoar o pão e a água e tirar as enfermidades do meio do seu povo.
You must worship me, Yahweh God. If you do that, I will bless your (OR, bless you by giving you) food and water, and I will protect you from becoming sick.
He enables those who were very discouraged to be encouraged again;
it is as though they have wounds and he bandages them.
Heal sick people, cause dead people to become alive, heal people who have leprosy, and cause demons to leave people who are controlled by them {whom demons control}. Do not charge money for helping people, because God did not charge you anything for helping you.
Jesus heard what they said, so he told them this parable: "It is people who are sick who need a doctor [MET], not people who are well." What he meant by that was that it was people who knew that they were sinners who were coming to him in order to be helped spiritually.
O corpo como templo
Nosso corpo é templo do Espírito Santo. A Bíblia nos encoraja a cuidar da saúde física com disciplina e reverência a Deus.
◄Keep in mind that your bodies are like [MET] temples of the Holy Spirit./Do you not know that your bodies are like [MET] temples of the Holy Spirit?► [RHQ] The Spirit, whom God gave you, lives within you. You do not belong to yourselves. You belong to God, because when his Son died for you it was as though [MET] God paid a price for you. So honor God by how you use your bodies!
Some people say, "It helps us in some ways if we exercise our bodies." But I say that people benefit very much if they live ◄in a godly way/in a way that pleases God►, because if people live in a godly way, that will benefit them both while they live now and when they live in the future life in heaven.
Dear friend, I ask God that things may go well for you in every way, specifically, that you will be physically healthy just like you are spiritually healthy [MTY].
Do not be proud of being wise.
Instead, revere Yahweh
and turn away from doing evil.
If you do that, your body will be healthy/strong;
it will be like medicine for you.
A alegria que cura
O coração alegre é bom remédio. A esperança do coração traz alegria, e as palavras agradáveis são como favo de mel — doçura para a alma e saúde para o corpo.
Being cheerful is like swallowing good medicine;
being discouraged/gloomy all the time will ◄drain away your energy/cause you to become weak► [MTY].
Kind words are like honey [SIM]:
We enjoy them both, and both cause our bodies to be healthy/strong.
When people do not receive the things that they are expecting to receive, ◄it causes them to despair/they become very sad►;
but if you receive what you are desiring to get, that will be like a tree [MET] whose fruit gives you life (OR, that will cause you to be joyful).
So when you are young [MTY], do not worry about anything,
and do not pay attention to the pains that you have in your body,
because we will not remain young and strong forever.
