Honrar os pais
Honrar pai e mãe é mandamento de Deus com promessa de vida longa e feliz. A Bíblia ensina que respeitar, obedecer e cuidar dos pais é dever sagrado dos filhos.
O mandamento com promessa
Honra a teu pai e a tua mãe para que vá bem contigo e vivas muito tempo sobre a terra. É o primeiro mandamento com promessa.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother, that thou mayest be longlived upon the land which the Lord thy God will give thee.
16 Honour thy father and mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee, that thou mayst live a long time, and it may be well with thee in the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee.
2 Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise:3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest be long lived upon earth.
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is just.2 Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise:3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest be long lived upon earth.4 And you, fathers, provoke not your children to anger; but bring them up in the discipline and correction of the Lord.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
Obedecer e respeitar
Filhos, obedecei a vossos pais no Senhor. Ouvir a instrução do pai e não desprezar o ensino da mãe traz sabedoria.
8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother :
8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother :9 That grace may be added to thy head, and a chain of gold to thy neck.
1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend that you may know prudence.
1 A wise son heareth the doctrine of his father: but he that is a scorner, beareth not when he is reproved.
22 Hearken to thy father, that beget thee: and despise not thy mother when she is old.
3 But he answering, said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition? For God said:4 Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death.
3 But he answering, said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition? For God said:4 Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death.5 But you say: Whosoever shall say to father or mother, The gift whatsoever proceedeth from me, shall profit thee.6 And he shall not honour his father or his mother: and you have made void the commandment of God for your tradition.
Consequências da desonra
A Bíblia adverte severamente contra a desonra aos pais. Quem amaldiçoa ou agride os pais enfrenta consequências sérias.
26 He that afflicteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is infamous and unhappy.
20 He that curseth his father, and mother, his lamp shall be put out in the midst of darkness.
17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and that despiseth the labour of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens of the brooks pick it out, and the young eagles eat it.
17 He that curseth his father, or mother, shall die the death.
1 Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times.2 Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,3 Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness,
Cuidar dos pais
Quem não cuida dos seus, principalmente de sua família, negou a fé. Honrar os pais inclui respeitar os idosos.
4 But if any widow have children, or grandchildren, let her learn first to govern her own house, and to make a return of duty to her parents: for this is acceptable before God.
8 But if any man have not care of his own, and especially of those of his house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
3 Let every one fear his father, and his mother. Keep my sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.
32 Rise up before the hoary head, and honour the person of the aged man: and fear the Lord thy God. I am the Lord.
