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 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!"
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 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. And continue to let the message about Christ govern/direct all you think and do, as you very wisely teach and warn one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs (OR, songs that God’s Spirit gives you), while you sincerely and thankfully sing to God.
Do everything in the manner that those who are the people of the Lord Jesus should do.
Whatever you say, and whatever you do, do all of this in the manner that those who are representatives [MTY] of the Lord Jesus should do, while you constantly thank God, our Father, as you ask the Lord Jesus to take your prayers to God.
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.
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.
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."
Because that is true, a man must not separate from his wife whom God has joined to him, because God’s plan is for them to remain 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.
Then Yahweh God said, "It is not good for this man to be alone. So I will make someone who will be a suitable partner for him."
The first woman was taken from the man’s body, so that is why when a man and a woman marry, they must leave their parents. The man will join very closely to his wife, so that the two of them will be as though they are one person.

Although the man and his wife were naked, they were not ashamed about that.
Then God said, "Now we will make human beings that will be like us in many ways. I want them to rule over the fish in the sea, over the birds, over all the ◄livestock/domestic animals►, and over all the other creatures that scurry across the ground." So God created human beings that were like him in many ways. He made them to be like himself. He created some to be male and some to be female. God blessed them, saying, "Produce many children, who will live all over the earth and rule over it. I want them to rule over the fish and the birds and over all creatures that scurry across the ground."
As for you, I want you to produce many children, in order that they and their descendants may live all over the earth."
Having someone work with you is better than being by yourself all the time.
If you have a friend, he can help you to do your work.
It is certainly [RHQ] Yahweh who joined you together. Your spirits and your bodies belong to him. So what he wants [RHQ] from you are godly children. So make sure that each of you men remain ◄with/loyal to► the woman that you married when you were young.
Amor conjugal
Maridos, amai vossas mulheres. A mulher virtuosa é achada de Deus. Cresçam juntos em graça e verdade.
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,
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].
What someone has written in the Scriptures about people who marry is this,
When a man and a woman marry, they should ◄permanently leave/no longer live with► their fathers and mothers. They should be joined as husband and wife, and the two of them shall become as though they were one [MET] person.
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.
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. Those who have been stealing must not steal any longer. Instead, they should work hard to earn ◄their living/what they need► ◄by their own efforts/by what they do themselves► [MTY], in order that they may have something to give to those who are needy. 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. God has given you his Spirit ◄to confirm/to assure you► that some day God will claim all you people whom Christ has redeemed [MET], just like people confirm that something belongs to them by putting their seal on it. So do not cause God’s Holy Spirit to be sad ◄by the way you talk/by the things that you say►. 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.
If you marry a good woman, that is like finding a wonderful thing;
it shows that Yahweh is pleased with you.
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.
Because of our relationship with Christ, we are Abraham’s spiritual descendants, and God’s heirs, no longer like slaves.
Now all of you Jews and non-Jews are as though you are God’s children because you trusted Christ Jesus. That is, you who began a relationship with Christ when you were baptized identified yourselves [MET] with Christ. If you are believers, it does not matter to God if you are Jews or non-Jews; slaves or ones who are not slaves; males or females, because all of you are as one sort of person because of your relationship with Christ Jesus.
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.
Do not get involved with people who do not honor God.
Do not ◄team up/have a close relationship► with anyone who does not trust in Christ. I say this because we who trust in Christ and do what is right should not [RHQ] want to do things with wicked people. Or to say it in another way, just like light and darkness never join together, so those who belong to Christ and those who belong to Satan should never join together [RHQ].
However, remember that even though God created the first woman from the first man, all other men have been born from women. So men cannot be independent of women, nor can women be independent of men. But all things, including men and women, come from God.
