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.
"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
‘Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, that your days may be long, and that it may be well with you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
"Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."
Children and Parents
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."
And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
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.
Shun Evil Counsel
My son, hear the instruction of your father,
And do not forsake the law of your mother;
Shun Evil Counsel
My son, hear the instruction of your father,
And do not forsake the law of your mother;
For they willbe a graceful ornament on your head,
And chains about your neck.
Security in Wisdom
Hear, my children, the instruction of a father,
And give attention to know understanding;
A wise son heeds his father’s instruction,
But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
Listen to your father who begot you,
And do not despise your mother when she is old.
He answered and said to them, "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’
He answered and said to them, "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God"—then he need not honor his father or mother.’ Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.
Consequências da desonra
A Bíblia adverte severamente contra a desonra aos pais. Quem amaldiçoa ou agride os pais enfrenta consequências sérias.
He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother
Isa son who causes shame and brings reproach.
Whoever curses his father or his mother,
His lamp will be put out in deep darkness.
The eye that mocks his father,
And scorns obedience to his mother,
The ravens of the valley will pick it out,
And the young eagles will eat it.
"And he who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
Perilous Times and Perilous Men
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of 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 any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and to repay their parents; for this is good and acceptable before God.
But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
‘Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and keep My Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.
‘You shall rise before the gray headed and honor the presence of an old man, and fear your God: I am the Lord.
