Temor do Senhor
O temor do Senhor é o princípio da sabedoria. Não se trata de medo, mas de reverência profunda, respeito e admiração diante da santidade e grandeza de Deus.
O princípio da sabedoria
A Escritura afirma que temer ao Senhor é o primeiro passo para a verdadeira sabedoria. Quem teme a Deus discerne o certo e aprende a viver com prudência.
The beginning of wisdom is honoring the Lord. Those who follow what he says do well. He is to be praised forever!
Honoring the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; knowledge of the Holy One brings insight.
Respect for the Lord teaches wisdom; humility goes before honor.
He said to humankind, ‘To reverence the Lord is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’"
Reverence for the Lord is right, and lasts forever. The Lord's judgments are both true and fair.
They are more to be valued than gold, even the finest gold; they are sweeter than honey, even the purest honey coming straight from the honeycomb.
They also warn your servant. By keeping them I'm richly rewarded.
Bênçãos do temor
Quem teme ao Senhor encontra vida longa, provisão e proteção. O temor de Deus nos guarda do mal e nos conduz à humildade.
The reward you receive for being humble and respecting the Lord is wealth, honor, and life.
Honoring the Lord makes your life longer, but the years the wicked live will be cut short.
Respecting the Lord is like a fountain of life, so you can avoid the snares of death.
Sin is forgiven through trustworthy love and faithfulness; by honoring the Lord people are saved from evil.
Blessed are those who always respect the Lord, but those who are stubborn end up in a lot of trouble.
Taste, and you will see that the Lord is good! How happy are those who trust in his protection!
Show your reverence for the Lord, you who are his holy people, for those who respect him have everything they need.
Vivendo no temor do Senhor
Temer ao Senhor é obedecer seus mandamentos, andar em seus caminhos e amá-lo de todo coração. Essa reverência se expressa em justiça e integridade.
You are to follow the Lord your God and respect him. Keep his commandments and do what he says; worship him and hold onto him.
That's why you have to keep the commandments of the Lord your God, following his ways and respecting him.
Serve the Lord in reverence, celebrate with trembling!
Children, listen to me! I will teach you how to respect the Lord.
Who of you wants to live a long and happy life?
Then don't let your tongue speak evil, or your lips tell lies.
Reject what is evil, do what is good. Look for peace, and work to make it a reality.
So then, be sure to have reverence for God, obeying him and doing what he wants, for God does not permit any kind of injustice, favoritism, or bribery."
Don't speak badly about deaf people. Don't put objects in the way of blind people to trip them up. Instead show respect to your God. I am the Lord.
Don't exploit one another, but have respect for your God, because I am the Lord your God.
If any of your people become poor and can't survive, you must help them in the same way you would help a foreigner or a stranger, so that they can go on living in your neighborhood. Don't make them pay you any interest or demand more than they borrowed, but respect your God so that they can remain living in your area.
I tell you, my friends, don't be afraid of those who kill the body, for once they've done that there's no more they can do. Let me make it clear whom you should be afraid of. You should be afraid of the one who after he has killed has the power to dispose of them in Gehenna. That's the one you should be afraid of.
