Filhos
Os filhos são herança do Senhor — bênção e responsabilidade sagrada. A Bíblia orienta sobre a criação dos filhos com amor, disciplina e instrução nos caminhos de Deus.
Herança do Senhor
Os filhos são herança do Senhor e o fruto do ventre é seu galardão. Bem-aventurado o homem que enche deles a sua aljava.
Instruir e disciplinar
Instrui a criança no caminho em que deve andar, e quando envelhecer não se desviará dele. Disciplina é amor em ação.
O amor de Deus por crianças
Deixai vir a mim as crianças. Jesus acolheu, abençoou e honrou as crianças como modelo de fé e humildade.
14 When Jesus saw this, he became furious and told them,"Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away. For the kingdom of God belongs to people like these.
11 So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who keep on asking him!
52 Meanwhile, Jesus kept on growing in wisdom and maturity, and in favor with God and his fellow man.
1 See what kind of love the Father has given us in letting us be called God's children! Yet that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us, because it did not recognize him either.
Bênção e promessa
O Senhor te abençoe e te guarde. Os filhos dos justos serão abençoados e suas gerações caminharão na retidão.
Criação e obediência
Pais, criai vossos filhos na disciplina e instrução do Senhor. Filhos, obedecei a vossos pais — isto é justo e agradável a Deus.
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is the right thing to do.2 "Honor your father and mother." This is a very important commandment with a promise:3 "So that it may go well for you, and that you may have a long life on the earth."
4 Fathers, do not make your children angry, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.
21 Fathers, do not make your children resentful, lest they become discouraged.
7 What you endure is for the sake of discipline. God is treating you as sons. Is there a son whom his father does not discipline?8 Now if you are without any discipline, in which all sons share, then you are illegitimate and not his sons.
4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to respect their own family by repaying their parents, for this is pleasing in God's sight.
21 Whena woman is in labor she has pain, for her hour has come. Yet when she has given birth to her child, she doesn't remember the agony anymore because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world.
