Crianças
As crianças ocupam lugar especial no coração de Deus. A Bíblia instrui a educá-las, protegê-las e ensiná-las nos caminhos do Senhor desde cedo — formando gerações que temem a Deus.
Herança do Senhor
Os filhos são herança do Senhor. Eles são presentes de Deus — cada criança é um milagre e uma responsabilidade sagrada.
Children certainly are a gift from the Lord, for a family is a blessing.
Then our sons will grow up like plants in their youth and become mature, and our daughters will be like beautiful pillars carved to support a palace.
You made me from the inside out, shaping me in my mother’s womb.
I praise you for making me in such an awesome and wonderful way. What you do is incredible—I realize this completely!
How does a young person remain pure? By following what you say.

Children, listen to me! I will teach you how to respect the Lord.
Instruir as crianças
Instrui a criança no caminho em que deve andar. A educação cristã é mandamento repetido através de toda a Escritura.
Teach children the right way to live, and when they grow up they’ll go on doing so.

Children are naturally foolish; physical correction helps them to see sense.
Children are naturally foolish; physical correction helps them to see sense.
People who don’t discipline their children hate them. Those who love their children carefully discipline them.
A wise son accepts his father’s discipline, but a mocker doesn’t listen to correction.
My son, don’t forget my instructions. Always keep my commands in mind. Then you will live a long time, and have a full life.
My son, don’t forget my instructions. Always keep my commands in mind.
for the Lord corrects those he loves, as a father corrects a son who pleases him.
he was the one who taught me. He told me, "Pay attention to the words I say and keep them in mind; do what I tell you and you will live. Get wisdom, find out what makes sense. Don’t forget my words or reject them.
Disciplinar com amor
A vara e a repreensão dão sabedoria. A disciplina produz o fruto pacífico da justiça nos que são exercitados por ela.
Discipline and correction provide wisdom, but a son left undisciplined is an embarrassment to his mother.
Don’t keep from disciplining your children—a beating won’t kill them.
Pay attention to your father, and don’t disregard your mother when she’s old.
Invest in truth—and don’t sell it! Invest in wisdom, instruction, and understanding.
A son who abuses his father and chases away his mother brings shame and disgrace.
Better to be poor but honest than stupid and tell lies.
Good people live honestly; how happy are their children if they follow them.
Even children reveal what they’re like by what they do, whether their actions are good and right.
A stupid son brings grief to his father and sadness to his mother who gave birth to him.
Old people are proud of their grandchildren, and children are proud of their parents.
Old people are proud of their grandchildren, and children are proud of their parents.
Only a foolish son despises his father’s instruction, but one who accepts correction is sensible.
A wise son makes his father happy, but a stupid man despises his mother.
If you keep the law, you’re a wise son, but if you keep bad company you shame your father.
My son, pay attention to your father’s instruction, and don’t reject your mother’s teaching. They are a wreath of grace to decorate your head; they are pendants for your neck.
And now, my sons, listen to me, for happy are those who follow my ways. Listen to my instruction and be wise—do not reject it.
Obediência e promessa
Filhos, obedecei a vossos pais no Senhor. Honra a teu pai e tua mãe para que viva muito tempo sobre a terra.
Children, as believers in the Lord, do what your parents tell you, for this is the right thing to do. "Honor your father and mother." This is the first commandment that has a promise attached: "that things may go well for you and you may live a long life on the earth."
Fathers, don’t make your children mad, but look after them by disciplining them and instructing them about God.
Fathers, don’t make your children mad, but look after them by disciplining them and instructing them about God.
So then, imitate God since you’re his much-loved children.
You children, always do what your parents tell you because this is what pleases the Lord.
You fathers, don’t make your children mad, so they won’t feel like giving up.
The commands I’m giving you today must stay in your minds. You are to explain them carefully to your children and talk about them when you’re at home and when you’re traveling, when you lie down and when you get up.
You are to explain them carefully to your children and talk about them when you’re at home and when you’re traveling, when you lie down and when you get up.
Observe his rules and regulations that I’m giving you right now, so that you and your children will do well, and that you may have long lives in the country that the Lord your God is giving you for all time.
Make sure you obey everything I’m commanding you, so that it may always go well with you and your children, because you will be following what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God.
he told them, "Think about all these words I’ve declared to you today, so you can order your children to follow carefully everything in this law. Don’t treat these words as trivial because they are your life, and by them you will have long lives in the country that you will own after crossing the Jordan."
Crianças e o reino
Deixai vir a mim as crianças. Jesus honrou as crianças como modelo de fé e humildade para todo o seu povo.
But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them. The kingdom of heaven belongs to those who are like them!"
But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them. The kingdom of heaven belongs to those who are like them!"
Around that time the disciples came to Jesus, and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
Jesus called over a small child. He had the child stand in front of them. "I tell you the truth, unless you change the way you think and become like little children, you won’t ever enter the kingdom of heaven," he told them. "But whoever humbles themselves and becomes like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
"I tell you the truth, unless you change the way you think and become like little children, you won’t ever enter the kingdom of heaven," he told them. "But whoever humbles themselves and becomes like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever accepts a little child like this in my name accepts me.
Make sure you don’t look down on these little ones. I tell you that in heaven their angels are always with my heavenly Father.
Then Jesus prayed, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for you’ve hidden these things from the clever and sophisticated. Instead you’ve revealed them to ordinary people.
Blessed are those who work to bring peace, for they will be called children of God.
Some people brought their children to Jesus so that he could bless them, but the disciples told them off and tried to keep the children away from Jesus. But when Jesus saw what they were doing, he became very upset and told them, "Let the children come to me! Don’t stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.
He took a small child and had the child stand right in the middle of them. Then he picked up and hugged the child, and told them, "Whoever welcomes a child like this in my name, welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me doesn’t welcome me but the one who sent me."
Jesus grew steadily wiser and stronger, favored both by God and by the people.
After breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?"
"Yes, Lord," he replied, "you know I love you."
"Take care of my lambs," Jesus told him.
Identidade e crescimento
Somos filhos de Deus pelo Espírito de adoção. Crescer em Cristo é amadurecer em fé, obediência e amor ao próximo.
But to all those who accepted him and trusted in him, he gave the right to become God’s children.
All those who are led by the Spirit of God are God’s children.
You were not given a spirit to enslave and terrify you once more. No, what you received was the spirit that makes you children in God’s family. Now we can shout out, "God is our Father!"
The Spirit himself agrees with us that we’re God’s children.
All of creation is patiently waiting, longing for God to reveal his children.
For you are all God’s children through your trust in Christ Jesus. All of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
Look at the amazing kind of love the Father has for us! This is why we can be called God’s children—for that’s who we are! The reason why the people of this world don’t recognize us as God’s children is because they don’t recognize him.
My friends, we are already God’s children; however what we shall become hasn’t been revealed just yet. But we do know that when he appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he really is. All those who have this hope in them make sure they are pure, just as he is pure.
Dear friends, I’m writing to you children, for your sins have been forgiven through the name of Jesus.
Dear friends, stay away from idol worship.
He must handle his own family well. His children must respect what he tells them to do.
But those who don’t look after their relatives, especially their own family, have denied their beliefs, and are worse than those who don’t believe.
Have you forgotten God’s appeal to you when he reasons with you as his children? He says, "My child, don’t treat the Lord’s discipline lightly, and don’t give up when he corrects you either. The Lord disciplines everyone he loves, and he punishes everyone he welcomes as his child." Be patient as you experience God’s discipline because he is treating you as his children. What child doesn’t experience a father’s discipline? If you are not disciplined (which everyone has experienced), then you are illegitimate and not true children. For if we respected our earthly fathers who disciplined us, shouldn’t we even more be subject to the discipline of our spiritual Father which leads to life?
When it happens, all discipline seems painful and not something to be happy about. But later on it produces peace in those who have been trained in this way so that they do what is good and right.
"Trust in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your whole household," they replied.
Run away from anything that fires up the desires of youth. Run after what is right and trustworthy, run after love and peace along with those who are true and pure Christians.
Take what you heard me say in front of many witnesses and share it with those who are trustworthy, who then can teach others as well.
Transmitir a fé
Contaremos à geração vindoura os louvores do Senhor. O legado de fé é o maior presente que damos aos nossos filhos.
and all your children will be students of the Lord, and they will live in complete peace.
and all your children will be students of the Lord, and they will live in complete peace.
It’s only the living who can praise you as I’m doing today. Parents explain to their children how you can be trusted.
Really? Can a mother forget her nursing baby? Can she forget to be kind to the child she carried in her womb? Even if she could forget, I will never forget you! Look at your names I’ve written on the palms of my hands! I’m always thinking about your walls.
After inspecting our defenses, I stood up and addressed the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people, saying, "Don’t be afraid of them! Remember the Lord, who is powerful and formidable! Fight for your brothers, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes!"
The boy Samuel served before the Lord under Eli’s supervision. At that time messages from the Lord were rare—visions were not common.
Nothing makes me happier than to hear how my dear friends are following the truth.
Nothing makes me happier than to hear how my dear friends are following the truth.
We will not keep them from our children; we will tell the next generation about God’s marvelous actions—about his power and the amazing things he has done.
He gave his laws to the descendants of Jacob; his instructions to the people of Israel. He commanded our forefathers to teach them to their children,
so that the next generation—children yet to be born—would understand and grow up to teach their children.
In this way they should place their trust in God and not forget what God has done, and keep his commandments.
