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.
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it;
33 But let every one of you in particular so love his wife as himself: and let the wife reverence her husband.
28 Men ought so to love their wives as their own bodies: he that loveth his wife, loveth himself.29 Now no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also the Lord the church.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour; for we are members one of another.
26 Be ye angry, and sin not; let not the sun go down upon your wrath,27 Neither give place to the devil.
29 Let no corrupt discourse proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good, to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearers.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil-speaking be put away from you with all malice.32 And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted; forgiving one another; as God also for Christ's sake hath forgiven 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.
6 Wherefore they are no more twain but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
4 Marriage is honourable in all men, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
18 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands (as is fit) in the Lord.19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
14 And above all these put on love, which is the bond of perfection:15 And the peace of God shall rule in your hearts, to which also ye are called in one body: and be ye thankful.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any have a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Perdão e paciência
Sede bondosos e compassivos uns com os outros. O amor é paciente, benigno. Permanece e persevera.
4 Love suffereth long and is kind; love envieth not; love acteth not rashly, is not puffed up:5 Doth not behave indecently, seeketh not her own, is not provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not at iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth:6 Covereth all things,7 believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
10 The married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband.11 But if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband.
3 Let the husband render the debt to the wife; and in like manner the wife also to the husband.4 The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband; and in like manner the husband also hath not power over his own body, but the wife.5 Withdraw not from each other, unless it be by consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to prayer, and may come together again, lest Satan tempt you through your incontinence.
3 Do nothing through strife or vain-glory, but in lowliness of mind, esteem each the others better than themselves.4 Look not every one at his own things, but every one also at the things of others.
15 See that none render to any man evil for evil, but ever follow that which is good, both to one another and to all men.
8 And above all things, have fervent love to each other; for love will cover a multitude of sins.
