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.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.SHINAll those who do his work have a good understanding.TAVHis praise endures forever!
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
33 The fear of the Lord teaches wisdom.Before honor is humility.
28 To man he said,'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom.To depart from evil is understanding.'"
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever.The Lord's ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.10 More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold;sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.11 Moreover by them is your servant warned.In keeping them there is great reward.
