Família
A família é a primeira instituição criada por Deus. Ele a projetou para ser escola de amor, fé e formação de caráter. A Bíblia honra a família e nos ensina a cuidar dela.
Eu e minha casa
Eu e minha casa serviremos ao Senhor. A família que serve a Deus juntos permanece unida e fortalecida em todas as circunstâncias.
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!"

They answered, "Trust in what the Lord Jesus has done for you, and you will be saved {God will save you}, and the others who live in [MTY] your house will also be saved if they believe in Jesus."
I pray that our God will be with us like he was with our ancestors, and that he will never abandon us.

Warnings about sinful people
My son, pay attention to what I, your father, am teaching you.
And do not reject what your mother teaches you.
What we teach you will make you respected like having a lovely turban around your head
and like a beautiful necklace to put around your neck.
More warnings about adultery
My son, obey my commands,
and do not ignore what your mother has taught you.
Never forget [IDM] these commands that I am giving to you today. Teach them to your children again and again. Talk about them all the time: When you are in your houses and when you are walking outside; talk about them when you are lying down and when you are doing things.

You parents (OR, You fathers), do not treat your children so severely that they become angry. Instead, bring them up well by instructing them and by disciplining them in the manner that the Lord Jesus wants you to do.

You children, because you ◄belong to/have a close relationship with► the Lord Jesus, obey your parents, because it is right for you to do that. God commanded in the Scriptures,
Greatly respect your father and mother.
That is the first law that God commanded in which he also promised something. He promised,
Honrar e amar
Honra teu pai e tua mãe. A família funciona com perdão, paciência e amor incondicional entre todos os seus membros.
Honor/Respect your fathers and your mothers, in order that you may live a long time in the land that I, Yahweh God, will give you.

honor your father and your mother, and love people you come in contact with as much as you love yourself."
Jesus taught them God’s view of divorce, and about abstaining from marriage to give more time to serve God.
After Jesus had said that, he took us and left Galilee district and went to the part of Judea district that is located on the east side of the Jordan River. Large crowds followed him there, and he healed the sick among them.
Some Pharisees approached Jesus and said to him, "Does our Jewish law permit a man to divorce his wife for any reason whatever?" They asked that in order to be able to criticize Jesus, whether he answered "Yes" or "No." Jesus said to them, "Because you have read [RHQ] the Scriptures, you should know that at the time God first created people, ‘he made one man, and he made one woman to be that man’s wife.’ That explains why God said, ‘When a man and woman marry, they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers. Instead, the two of them shall live together, and they shall become so closely united that they are like one person [MET].’ 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."
The Pharisees then said to him, "If that is true, why did Moses command that a man who wanted to divorce his wife should give her a paper stating his reason for divorcing her, and then send her away?" He said to them, "It was because your ancestors stubbornly wanted their own way that Moses allowed them to divorce their wives, and you are no different from them. But when God first [MTY] created a man and a woman, he did not intend for them to separate. I am telling you emphatically that because God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, he considers that any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, unless his first wife has committed adultery." We disciples said to him, "If that is true, it is better for men never to marry!" Then he said to us, "Not every man is able to accept this teaching. Only the men whom God enables to accept it are able to do so. There are men who do not marry because they are not able to have sexual relations because they have been sexually defective ever since they were born. There are other men who do not marry because they are unable to have sexual relations because they have been castrated {other men have made them that way}. There are other men who decide not to marry [MET] in order that they can serve God better and spend more time telling people about how God [MTY/EUP] wants to rule people’s lives. You who are able to understand what I have said about marriage should accept it and obey it."
Jesus rebuked the disciples for trying to prevent children from coming to him.
Then some children were brought {some people brought their children} to Jesus in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray for them. But we disciples scolded the people for bringing their children to Jesus because we thought that Jesus did not want to take the time to be with children. But when Jesus saw us scolding them, he said to us, "Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are humble and trusting like they are, who can experience God’s rule in their lives." Jesus then laid his hands on the children and asked God to bless them. Then he left there.
A rich young man went away sad because Jesus told him to sell all his possessions.
As Jesus was walking along, a young man approached him and said to him, "Teacher, what good deeds must I do in order to live with God eternally?" Jesus said to him, "◄Consider what you are implying about who I am when you ask me about what is good./Do you realize what you are implying about who I am when you ask me about that which is good?► [RHQ] Only one being is good and really knows what is good. That being is God. But in order to answer your question about desiring to live with God eternally, I will say to you, ‘Keep the commandments that God gave Moses’." The man asked Jesus, "Which commandments must I keep?" Jesus answered him, "Do not murder anyone, do not commit adultery, do not steal things, do not testify falsely, honor your father and your mother, and love people you come in contact with as much as you love yourself." Thinking that he might not be able to live with God eternally even though he had kept those commandments, the young man said to Jesus, "I have always obeyed all those commandments. What else must I do in order to live with God eternally?" Jesus said to him, "If you desire to be all that God intends you to be, go home, sell everything that you have and give the money to poor people. The result will be that you will have spiritual riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!" When the young man heard those words, he went away feeling sad, because he was very rich and did not want to give away everything he owned.
Jesus taught how difficult it is for rich people to let God rule their lives, but there are rewards for those who leave family and possessions for his sake.
Then Jesus said to us disciples, "Keep this in mind: It is very difficult for rich people to decide to let God [MTY/EUP] rule their lives. Note this also: It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is almost as difficult [HYP] for rich people to decide to let God rule their lives." When we disciples heard this, we were astounded. We thought that rich people were the ones whom God blesses the most. So we said to him, "◄If that is so, it does not seem likely that anyone will be saved!/Who then will God will save?►" [RHQ] When Jesus heard us say that, he looked intently at us, and then he said to us, "Yes, it is impossible for people to save themselves. But God can save them, because God is able to do anything!" Then Peter said to him, "You know that we (exc) have left everything behind and we have become your disciples. So what benefit will we get for doing that?" Jesus said to us, "Keep this in mind: You will get many benefits. When God makes the new earth and when I, the one who came from heaven, sit on my magnificent throne, those of you who have accompanied me will each sit on a throne, and you will judge the people of the twelve tribes of Israel. God will reward those who, because of being my disciples, have left behind a house or plot of ground, their brothers, their sisters, their father, their mother, their children, or any other family [MTY] members. God will give them 100 times as many benefits as they have given up. And they will live with God eternally. But many people who consider themselves to be important now will be unimportant at that future time, and many people who consider themselves to be unimportant now will be important at that future time."
Be kind to one another. Act mercifully toward each other. Forgive each other, just like God forgave you because of what Christ has done.
However, as for you(pl), each man must love his wife just as he loves himself, and each woman must respect her husband.
So those who say "I love God" but hate a fellow believer are lying. Those who do not love one of their fellow believers, whom they have seen, certainly cannot be loving God, whom they have not seen.
Cuidar da família
Quem não cuida dos seus negou a fé. A família é responsabilidade sagrada — prover, proteger e abençoar é mandamento divino.
If anyone does not take care of those who live in his own house, and especially if he does not take care of his own family, he has ◄denied/quit believing► what we believe and we should consider that he is worse than a person who does not believe in Christ.

If a widow has children or grandchildren, these children or grandchildren should learn that they are to take care of their own family first. By doing that they can repay their parents and grandparents for all that they did for them when they were young, because doing that pleases God.
Stop dividing into groups in your congregations on the basis of which Christian leader you favor.
My fellow believers, by the authority of [MTY] our Lord Jesus Christ, I urgently appeal to all of you to agree with one another. What I mean is, stop dividing into groups. Instead, be united [MET] concerning what you understand about spiritual matters,, and be united in what you decide.
Children are a gift that comes to parents from Yahweh;
they are a reward/blessing from him.
If a man has sons while he is still young,
when they grow up, they will be able to help him defend his family
like [SIM] a soldier can defend himself if he has a bow and arrows in his hand.
A man who has many sons is very happy,
like [MET] a soldier who has many arrows in his quiver is very happy.
If a man with his many grown sons is taken by his enemies to the place where they decide matters, his enemies will never be able to defeat that man,
because his sons will help to defend him.
But Yahweh will faithfully keep loving forever
all those who revere him.
He will act fairly to our children and to their children;
he will act that way to all those who obey the agreement he made with them to bless them if they did what he told them to do,
to all those who obey what he has commanded.

A psalm written for people going up to the temple to worship
It is very good and very pleasant
for God’s people to gather together harmoniously.
Unidade familiar
A coroa dos velhos são os filhos dos filhos. O casamento, os filhos e a comunhão familiar são bênçãos de Deus.
Old people are usually proud of [MET] their grandchildren,
just like children are usually proud of their parents.
Old people are usually proud of [MET] their grandchildren,
just like children are usually proud of their parents.
Friends love others all the time,
and relatives are able to help us when we have troubles.
There are some people who only pretend to be friends with us,
but there are some friends who are more loyal than members of our families.
Do not neglect your friends or your parents’ friends;
and at a time when you are experiencing a disaster, do not go to a relative who lives far away to request his help;
someone who lives near you can help you more than relatives who live far away.
-13-
My son/child, if you [SYN] become wise,
I [SYN] will be very happy.
Righteous children will cause their parents to be very happy;
those whose children are wise are proud of them.
Wise sayings from Solomon
These are more proverbs/wise sayings from Solomon:
If children are wise, they cause their parents to be happy;
but if children are foolish, they cause their parents to be very sad.
First, do the work that needs to be done outside your house,
and prepare your fields, and then plant things,
and after you finish doing that, build your house.
Those who try hard to get money by acting dishonestly cause trouble for their family;
those who refuse to accept bribes will live for a long time.
Those who bring troubles to their families will inherit nothing [MET] from them,
and those who do foolish things like that will some day become the servants of wise people.
Casamento e família
O homem deixará pai e mãe e se unirá à sua mulher. A família começa no casamento — aliança sagrada diante de Deus.
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.
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."
Enjoy living with your wife whom you love, all during the time that God has given to you to be alive here on this earth. And even though it is difficult to understand why many things happen, enjoy doing the work that you do here on this earth.
Remember that he also wrote that, when God first created people, he made one man, and one woman to become that man’s wife. That explains why God said, ‘When a man and woman marry, they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers after they marry. Instead, the two of them shall live together, and they shall become so closely united [MET] that they are like one person.’ Therefore, although the people who marry were two separate persons before, God regards them as one person now, so he wants them to remain married. 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!"
Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly give good things to those who ask him, including giving the Holy Spirit, who is the best gift."
But Yahweh replies,
"That is not true! ◄Can a woman forget the infant that she is nursing?/A woman certainly cannot forget the infant that she is nursing!► [RHQ]
◄Can she stop being kind to the child to whom she has given birth?/She certainly cannot stop being kind to the child to whom she has given birth!► [RHQ]
But even if a woman would do that,
I will not forget you!
Note that I have written your names on the palms of my hands;
in my mind I can always see the walls of your city.
Dear friends, even though ◄at present/now► we are God’s children, he has not yet ◄made clear/revealed► to us what we will be like in the future. However, we know that when Christ comes back again, we will be like him, because we will see what he is really like. So, all those who confidently expect to see Christ as he actually is/what Christ is like when he returns must keep themselves pure in every way, just like Christ, who is pure in every way.
