Vitória
A vitória do cristão não depende de suas próprias forças, mas do poder de Deus que opera em nós. As Escrituras declaram que somos mais que vencedores por meio daquele que nos amou.
A vitória vem de Deus
O Senhor luta por nós. Quando confiamos nele, nenhuma arma forjada contra nós prosperará e nenhum inimigo prevalecerá.
because Yahweh our God will go with you. He will fight your enemies for you, and he will enable you to defeat them.’
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of those armies! I will enable your army to defeat them [IDM]. None of them will be able to ◄resist/fight and defeat► your army."
We can get horses ready to fight in a battle,
but Yahweh is the one who enables us to ◄win victories/defeat our enemies►.
It was not by using their own swords that they conquered the people that lived in that land,
and it was not by their own power that they were victorious;
it was only by your power [MTY, DOU] that they did those things;
and they were sure that you were with them,
and that showed that you were pleased with them.
You are my King and my God;
it is you who enable us, your people [MTY], to defeat our enemies.
Mais que vencedores
Em todas as circunstâncias, a fé nos dá a vitória. O mundo tenta nos derrubar, mas Cristo já venceu o mundo e nos faz triunfar.
All of us whom God has caused to become his children have been able to successfully resist ◄doing what/conducting our lives like► the people [MTY] who oppose God do. It is only by our trusting in Christ that we are able to ◄resist doing what/conducting our lives like► people in the world who are opposed to God [MTY] do.
But even though all these bad things may happen to us, we win a great victory/triumph over these things because Christ, who loves us, helps us. I am absolutely certain that neither being dead (OR, being killed), nor what happens to us while we live, nor angels, nor demons, nor present events, nor future events, nor powerful beings/forces, nor powerful beings above the horizon or below the horizon [MTY], nor anything else that God has created can cause God to stop loving us. God showed us that he loves us by sending Jesus Christ our Lord to die for us.
So ◄I will tell you what we must conclude from all these things that God does for us./what shall we conclude from all these things that God does for us?► [RHQ] Because God is acting on our behalf, ◄no one can win against us!/can anyone defeat us? (OR, it does not matter if anyone opposes us)!► [RHQ]
Death [APO] will not win a victory over us. Death will not be able to hurt us.
It is because we sin [MET] that we die, and it is because we have God’s laws that we know that we have sinned. But because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done, he enables us to be free from having to obey God’s laws to be saved and to be free of being afraid to die. We should thank God for that!
Força para a batalha
Deus nos reveste com sua armadura espiritual, nos fortalece e nos encoraja. Mesmo que o justo caia sete vezes, ele se levanta.
Therefore, just like a soldier puts on all his ◄armor/things to help him fight► [MET], use well all the spiritual resources/helps that God provides for you. Do that in order that you may be able to resist successfully the devil and all his powerful evil spirits [MTY] every time they ◄attack you/tempt you to sin or cause something bad to happen to you►. Do it also in order that when you have done all that you can to resist them when they attack you, you will still be ready to resist them when they attack you the next time.
Even if good people fall down seven/many times,
they always stand/get up again,
but when a disaster happens to wicked people,
it ruins/destroys them.
But with you helping us, we shall win;
you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
Even if 1,000 people fall dead alongside you,
even if 10,000 people are dying around you,
you will not be harmed.
I am able ◄to cope with/to handle► every situation because Christ gives me the strength to do that.
