Casal
O casal cristão é parceria abençoada por Deus. Juntos são mais fortes. O amor mutual, a paciência e a submissão ao Senhor são os pilares do casamento que honra a Deus.
Unidos em Cristo
Eu e minha casa serviremos ao Senhor. O vínculo perfeito é o amor que tudo suporta e tudo espera.
But if you don’t want to worship the Lord, then choose here and now! Will you worship the same idols your ancestors did? Or since you’re living on land that once belonged to the Amorites, maybe you’ll worship their gods. I won’t. My family and I are going to worship and obey the Lord!
Love is patient and kind,
never jealous, boastful,
proud, or rude.
Love isn’t selfish
or quick tempered.
It doesn’t keep a record
of wrongs that others do.
Love rejoices in the truth,
but not in evil.
Love is always supportive,
loyal, hopeful,
and trusting.
Love is more important than anything else. It is what ties everything completely together.
Each one of you is part of the body of Christ, and you were chosen to live together in peace. So let the peace that comes from Christ control your thoughts. And be grateful. Let the message about Christ completely fill your lives, while you use all your wisdom to teach and instruct each other. With thankful hearts, sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God. Whatever you say or do should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus, as you give thanks to God the Father because of him.
Love is more important than anything else. It is what ties everything completely together.
Don’t be hateful to people, just because they are hateful to you. Rather, be good to each other and to everyone else.
Then they are no longer two people, but one. And no one should separate a couple God has joined together."
And no one should separate a couple that God has joined together."
O projeto divino
Não é bom que o homem esteja só. Dois são melhores do que um — e o cordão de três dobras não se rompe facilmente.
The Lord God said, "It isn’t good for the man to live alone. I will make a suitable partner for him."
That’s why a man will leave his own father and mother. He marries a woman, and the two of them become like one person.
That’s why a man will leave his own father and mother. He marries a woman, and the two of them become like one person.
Although the man and his wife were both naked, they were not ashamed.
God said, "Now we will make humans, and they will be like us. We will let them rule the fish, the birds, and all other living creatures."
So God created humans to be like himself; he made men and women. God gave them his blessing and said:
Have a lot of children! Fill the earth with people and bring it under your control. Rule over the fish in the ocean, the birds in the sky, and every animal on the earth.
I want you and your descendants to have many children, so people will live everywhere on earth.
You are better having a friend than to be all alone, because then you will get more enjoyment out of what you earn.
Didn’t God create you and your wife to become like one person? And why did he do this? It was so you would have children, and then lead them to become God’s people. Don’t ever be unfaithful to your wife.
Amor conjugal
Maridos, amai vossas mulheres. A mulher virtuosa é achada de Deus. Cresçam juntos em graça e verdade.
A husband should love his wife as much as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it.
In the same way, a husband should love his wife as much as he loves himself. A husband who loves his wife shows he loves himself. None of us hate our own bodies. We provide for them and take good care of them, just as Christ does for the church,
As the Scriptures say, "A man leaves his father and mother to get married, and he becomes like one person with his wife."
Stop being bitter and angry and mad at others. Don’t yell at one another or curse each other or ever be rude. Instead, be kind and merciful, and forgive others, just as God forgave you because of Christ.
We are part of the same body. Stop lying and start telling each other the truth. Don’t get so angry that you sin. Don’t go to bed angry and don’t give the devil a chance.
If you are a thief, quit stealing. Be honest and work hard, so you will have something to give to people in need.
Stop all your dirty talk. Say the right thing at the right time and help others by what you say.
Don’t make God’s Spirit sad. The Spirit makes you sure that someday you will be free from your sins.
Stop being bitter and angry and mad at others. Don’t yell at one another or curse each other or ever be rude. Instead, be kind and merciful, and forgive others, just as God forgave you because of Christ.
A man’s greatest treasure
is his wife—
she is a gift from the Lord.
Don’t be jealous or proud, but be humble and consider others more important than yourselves. Care about them as much as you care about yourselves
All of you are God’s children because of your faith in Christ Jesus. And when you were baptized, it was as though you had put on Christ in the same way you put on new clothes. Faith in Christ Jesus is what makes each of you equal with each other, whether you are a Jew or a Greek, a slave or a free person, a man or a woman.
Have respect for marriage. Always be faithful to your partner, because God will punish anyone who is immoral or unfaithful in marriage.
Stay away from people who are not followers of the Lord! Can someone who is good get along with someone who is evil? Are light and darkness the same?
As far as the Lord is concerned, men and women need each other.
