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.
"Respect your father and your mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that I am giving you.
"‘Respect your father and your mother, as I, the Lord your God, command you, so that all may go well with you and so that you may live a long time in the land that I am giving you.
"Respect your father and mother" is the first commandment that has a promise added: "so that all may go well with you, and you may live a long time in the land."
Children and Parents
Children, it is your Christian duty to obey your parents, for this is the right thing to do. "Respect your father and mother" is the first commandment that has a promise added: "so that all may go well with you, and you may live a long time in the land."
Parents, do not treat your children in such a way as to make them angry. Instead, raise them with Christian discipline and instruction.
Children, it is your Christian duty to obey your parents always, for that is what pleases God.
Obedecer e respeitar
Filhos, obedecei a vossos pais no Senhor. Ouvir a instrução do pai e não desprezar o ensino da mãe traz sabedoria.
My child, pay attention to what your father and mother tell you.
My child, pay attention to what your father and mother tell you. Their teaching will improve your character as a handsome turban or a necklace improves your appearance.
The Benefits of Wisdom
My children, listen to what your father teaches you. Pay attention, and you will have understanding.
Wise children pay attention when their parents correct them, but arrogant people never admit they are wrong.
-16-
Listen to your father; without him you would not exist. When your mother is old, show her your appreciation.
Jesus answered, "And why do you disobey God’s command and follow your own teaching? For God said, ‘Respect your father and your mother,’ and ‘If you curse your father or your mother, you are to be put to death.’
Jesus answered, "And why do you disobey God’s command and follow your own teaching? For God said, ‘Respect your father and your mother,’ and ‘If you curse your father or your mother, you are to be put to death.’ But you teach that if people have something they could use to help their father or mother, but say, ‘This belongs to God,’ they do not need to honor their father. In this way you disregard God’s command, in order to follow your own teaching.
Consequências da desonra
A Bíblia adverte severamente contra a desonra aos pais. Quem amaldiçoa ou agride os pais enfrenta consequências sérias.
Only a shameful, disgraceful person would mistreat his father or turn his mother away from his home.
If you curse your parents, your life will end like a lamp that goes out in the dark.
If you make fun of your father or despise your mother in her old age, you ought to be eaten by vultures or have your eyes picked out by wild ravens.
"Whoever curses his father or his mother is to be put to death.
The Last Days
Remember that there will be difficult times in the last days. People will be selfish, greedy, boastful, and conceited; they will be insulting, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and irreligious; they will be unkind, merciless, slanderers, violent, and fierce; they will hate the good;
Cuidar dos pais
Quem não cuida dos seus, principalmente de sua família, negou a fé. Honrar os pais inclui respeitar os idosos.
But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they should learn first to carry out their religious duties toward their own family and in this way repay their parents and grandparents, because that is what pleases God.
But if any do not take care of their relatives, especially the members of their own family, they have denied the faith and are worse than an unbeliever.
Each of you must respect your mother and your father, and must keep the Sabbath, as I have commanded. I am the Lord your God.
"Show respect for old people and honor them. Reverently obey me; I am the Lord.
