Ajuda para casais
Deus fortalece casamentos. A Bíblia oferece sabedoria prática para casais: comunicar com verdade, perdoar com graça, servir com amor e buscar a Deus juntos.
Amor e respeito
Maridos, amai vossas mulheres. Mulheres, respeitem seus maridos. O amor mútuo edifica o casamento.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her
Nevertheless, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.
"Be angry, yet do not sin." Do not let the sun set upon your anger, and do not give the devil a foothold.
Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen.
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.
União e fidelidade
O que Deus ajuntou não separe o homem. Eu e minha casa serviremos ao Senhor. A fidelidade é alicerce do casamento.
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
But if it is unpleasing in your sight to serve the LORD, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD!"
Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
Christian Households
Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
And over all these virtues put on love, which is the bond of perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Perdão e paciência
Sede bondosos e compassivos uns com os outros. O amor é paciente, benigno. Permanece e persevera.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.
Do not deprive each other, except by mutual consent and for a time, so you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, so that Satan will not tempt you through your lack of self-control.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Make sure that no one repays evil for evil. Always pursue what is good for one another and for all people.
Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
He who finds a wife finds a good thing
and obtains favor from the LORD.
