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.
Love is patient and kind. Love does not envy or boast. It is not puffed up or rude. It does not seek its own way, it is not irritable, and it keeps no record of wrongs. It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
Above all, put on love, which is the bond of perfection. Let the peace of God rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another with all wisdom as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to the Lord with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to our God and Father through him.
Above all, put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
Make sure no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always strive to do good to each other and to everyone else.
So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
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.
Amor conjugal
Maridos, amai vossas mulheres. A mulher virtuosa é achada de Deus. Cresçam juntos em graça e verdade.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
In the same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one has ever hated his own flesh, but he nourishes and cares for it, just as the Lord does for the church,
"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."
Put away all bitterness, wrath, anger, outbursts, and slander, together with all malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ has forgiven us.
Therefore, having laid aside falsehood, each of you must speak the truth with his neighbor, because we are members of one another. Do not sin in your anger. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give any opportunity to the devil. He who steals must no longer steal; rather he must labor, doing honest work with his hands, so that he may have something to contribute to anyone in need. Let no foul word come out of your mouth, but only what is good for edification, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Put away all bitterness, wrath, anger, outbursts, and slander, together with all malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ has forgiven us.
Do nothing from selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility regard others as more important than yourselves. None of you should look out for your own interests, but for the interests of others.
for you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Marriage must be held in honor by all, and the marriage bed must be kept pure, but God will judge fornicators and adulterers.
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? What fellowship does light have with darkness?
Nevertheless, in the Lord neither is man independent of woman nor woman independent of man.
