Hebreus 3:4

4 Porque toda casa é edificada por alguém, mas quem edificou todas as coisas é Deus.

Hebreus 3:4 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 3:4

For every house is built by some man
Or by some one; for a house does not build itself: this is true of houses properly taken, or improperly, as nations, tribes, families, and kindred, of the whole church in general, of particular congregations, and of individual believers; the greatest saints, even apostles and prophets, such an one as Moses, are built by and upon Christ; their persons are built on him; they receive all their gifts for edification from him, and their success is owing to him; though they are to be esteemed of in their proper places: the apostle's design is to bring down the high esteem the Jews had of Moses, that they might rightly value Christ.

But he that built all things is God;
Christ has built all things, and therefore he is God, and must be infinitely above Moses; for this is not to be understood of God and of the creation of the world, and of all things in it by him; but of Christ, and of his building the church, and of his ordering and managing of that, and all affairs relating to it; such as the constitution of it, settling the worship of God, and the ordinances in it, the redemption and salvation of the members of it, and its rule and government; all which prove him to be God, and above Moses.

Hebreus 3:4 In-Context

2 como ele foi fiel ao que o constituiu, assim como também o foi Moisés em toda a casa de Deus.

3 Pois ele é tido por digno de tanto maior glória do que Moisés, quanto maior honra do que a casa tem aquele que a edificou.

4 Porque toda casa é edificada por alguém, mas quem edificou todas as coisas é Deus.

5 Moisés, na verdade, foi fiel em toda a casa de Deus, como servo, para testemunho das coisas que se haviam de anunciar;

6 mas Cristo o é como Filho sobre a casa de Deus; a qual casa somos nós, se tão-somente conservarmos firmes até o fim a nossa confiança e a glória da esperança.
