Ensinamentos de Isa Al-Masih

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on […]

“Então, respondeu ele: Não tendes lido que o Criador, desde o princípio, os fez homem e mulher e que disse: Por esta causa deixará o homem pai e mãe e se unirá a sua mulher, tornando-se os dois uma só carne? De modo que já não são mais dois, porém uma só carne. Portanto, o que Deus ajuntou não o separe o homem” (Mt 19:4-6).

“It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” (Matthew 5: 31-32)

“E um deles (Fariseus), intérprete da Lei, experimentando-o, lhe perguntou: Mestre, qual é o grande mandamento na Lei? Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Amarás o Senhor, teu Deus, de todo o teu coração, de toda a tua alma e de todo o teu entendimento. Este é o grande e primeiro mandamento. O segundo, semelhante a este, é: Amarás o teu próximo como a ti mesmo. Destes dois mandamentos dependem toda a Lei e os Profetas." (Mt 22:35-40)

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut […]

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And […]

“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” […]

“Todas estas coisas disse Jesus às multidões por parábolas e sem parábolas nada lhes dizia; para que se cumprisse o que foi dito por intermédio do profeta: Abrirei em parábolas a minha boca; publicarei coisas ocultas desde a criação [do mundo]” (Mt 13:34-35).

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a […]

“Ora, a fé é a certeza de coisas que se esperam, a convicção de fatos que se não veem. Pois, pela fé, os antigos obtiveram bom testemunho. Pela fé, entendemos que foi o universo formado pela palavra de Deus, de maneira que o visível veio a existir das coisas que não aparecem” (Hb 11:1-3).

“This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.” (Isaiah 30: 15)

“Como escaparemos nós, se negligenciarmos tão grande salvação? A qual, tendo sido anunciada inicialmente pelo Senhor, foi-nos depois confirmada pelos que a ouviram” (Hb 2:3).
