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.
Each of you husbands, love your wife as Christ loved all of us who would become believers, with the result that he willingly died for our sake,
However, as for you(pl), each man must love his wife just as he loves himself, and each woman must respect her husband.
In the same way, each man should love his wife as he loves his own body. Men who love their wives, it is as though they love themselves. This is shown by the fact that no one ever hated his own body. Instead, he feeds his own body and cares for it, just like Christ also cares for all us believers. We have become one group of believers that belongs to him [MET].
Therefore, quit lying to one another. Instead, because we all belong to just one group of believers, speak truthfully to each other.
If you get angry, do not sin as a result of getting angry. Before the end of the day [MTY], stop being angry; by doing that, you will not allow the devil to make you do evil.
Do not use [MTY] foul language. Instead, say only things that are useful for helping people when they need help, things that will help spiritually the people that you talk to.
Do not be resentful at all towards others. Do not become angry in any way. Never shout abusively at others. Never ◄slander/say bad things about► others. Never act maliciously/be mean in any way. Be kind to one another. Act mercifully toward each other. Forgive each other, just like God forgave you because of what Christ has done.
União e fidelidade
O que Deus ajuntou não separe o homem. Eu e minha casa serviremos ao Senhor. A fidelidade é alicerce do casamento.
Consequently, although they functioned as two separate people before, they now become as if they were one person [MET]. Since that is true, a man must not separate from his wife whom God has joined to him, because it is God’s plan for them to remain together."
But if you do not want to serve/worship Yahweh, you should decide today what gods you will serve/worship. You should decide whether you will serve/worship the gods that your ancestors who lived on the other/east side of the Euphrates River served, or whether you will serve/worship the gods that the descendants of Amor, who previously lived in the land where you are now living, serve/worship. But as for me and my family [MTY], we will serve/worship Yahweh!"
Respect the marriage relationship, and avoid covetousness.
You must ◄respect/keep sacred► the marriage relationship in every way, and you must keep sexual relations [EUP] pure, because God will surely condemn those who act immorally and those who act adulterously.
Wives, be subject to your husbands; husbands, love your wives.
You women, be subject to your husbands, since that is what you should do because you have a close relationship with the Lord Jesus. You men, love your wives; and, do not be harsh with them.
And what is more important than all of these is that you love one another, because by doing that you will be perfectly united together.
Continue to be at peace with one another, be constantly thanking God, and continue getting to know thoroughly the message about Christ.
Because God chose you to live peacefully with one another in your local congregations, let that peace which Christ gives control your ◄inner beings/hearts►, and be constantly thanking God.
Do what is good; in particular, love one another.
Because God has chosen you to be his people; and because he loves you, be compassionate to one another. Be kind to one another. Be humble. Be meek (OR, be considerate toward one another), be patient with one another, and tolerate one another’s flaws. Forgive one another, if one of you has a grudge/complaint against another. Just like the Lord Jesus freely/willingly forgave you, you too must freely/willingly forgive one another.
Perdão e paciência
Sede bondosos e compassivos uns com os outros. O amor é paciente, benigno. Permanece e persevera.
Those who [PRS] truly love others act patiently and kindly toward them. Those who [PRS] truly love others are not jealous of them, they do not boast about what they themselves have done, and are not proud. Those who [PRS] truly love others do not act in disgraceful/disrespectful ways towards them. They do not ◄act selfishly/think only of themselves and what they want►. They do not quickly become angry. They do not keep remembering the bad things that others have done to them. Those who [PRS] truly love others do not rejoice when people do evil things, but they do rejoice when people act righteously. Those who truly love others patiently put up withthe faults of others. They do not quickly assume that others have done something bad. They confidently expect that others will act righteously. They patiently endure all their own troubles.
And now I will give a command for believers who are married. This is not a command from me alone; it also comes from the Lord Jesus. You married women must not ◄separate from/divorce► your husbands! But if any of you do that, you must remain unmarried, or else you should be reconciled with your husband and live with him again. Similarly, men must not ◄separate from/divorce► their wives.
Every man must continue having sexual relations [EUP] with his wife, and every woman must continue having sexual relations with her husband. A man’s wife does not have the right over her own body to be the only one to decide about having sexual relations with her husband. Instead, her husband also has a right to decide about that. Similarly, a woman’s husband does not have the right over his own body to be the only one to decide about having sexual relations with his wife. Instead, his wife also has a right to decide about that. You may refuse to have sexual relations with each other [EUP] only if you both first agree to do that for a short time, in order that you may both have more time to pray. Then after that, begin having sexual relations again [EUP] in order that Satan will not be able to persuade you to have sex with someone else because you are unable to control your sexual desires.
Never try to selfishly make yourselves more important than others nor boast about what you are doing. Instead, be humble, and in particular, honor one another more than you honor yourselves. Each one of you should not only be concerned about your own affairs. Instead, each of you should also be concerned ◄that you help/about the needs of► one another.
Make sure that none of you does evil things to anyone who has done evil to you. On the contrary, you must always try to do good things for each other (OR, to fellow believers) and to everyone else.
Most important of all, love each other earnestly/wholeheartedly, because if we love others [PRS], we will just ignore many of the sinful things that they do to us.
If you marry a good woman, that is like finding a wonderful thing;
it shows that Yahweh is pleased with you.
