Undoubtedly, The Holy Bible is a book charged with wisdom, insights, and knowledge, often encapsulated in powerful passages. Till now, these are my learnings and favorite passages:
Lernings
- Romans 12:3 NLT: Be honest in your personal assessment
“Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.”
- Romans 12:20 NLT: Don't lower yourself to the level of your enemies
“Instead, “If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.”

- Romans 5:3-5 NLT: Rejoice in difficult situations
«We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.»
- Matthew 7:2, 4-5 NLT: Don't judge others without first judging yourself
«For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged. How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.»

«Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and nights. No one said a word to Job, for they saw that his suffering was too great for words.»
- 1 Corinthians 13:4 NLT: True Love
'Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. '
- Se menciona en cierto plan: Rejected people in turn reject others
"Eliab se sentía rechazado, y la gente rechazada rechaza a otros".
Dice más adelante, “por mucho que quisiéramos que no fuera así, las opiniones de los demás son importantes”.
También menciona cómo una palabra puede echar raíces en nuestra mente y causar estragos después.
- Ephesians 4:29 NLT: May your words inspire others
«Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.»
- Matthew 6:34 NLT: Don't worry about tomorrow
«“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.»

“The wicked borrow and never repay, but the godly are generous givers. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.”
- Proverbs 25:19 NLT: About trusting on this kind of people
Putting confidence in an unreliable person in times of trouble is like chewing with a broken tooth or walking on a lame foot.
