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 yoʋr father and mother" (which is the first commandment with a promise), "that it may be well with yoʋ and yoʋ may live long on the earth."
Children and Parents
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor yoʋr father and mother" (which is the first commandment with a promise), "that it may be well with yoʋ and yoʋ may live long on the earth." Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases 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.
He answered them, "And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God commanded, ‘Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother,’ and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of his father or mother must surely die.’
He answered them, "And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God commanded, ‘Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother,’ and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of his father or mother must surely die.’ But you say, ‘If anyone says to his father or mother, "Whatever benefit yoʋ might have received from me is now a gift devoted to God," then he certainly need not honor his father or his mother.’ You have nullified the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition.
Consequências da desonra
A Bíblia adverte severamente contra a desonra aos pais. Quem amaldiçoa ou agride os pais enfrenta consequências sérias.
Hard Times in the Last Days
But know this: Hard times will come in the last days. For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemous, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, without natural affection, irreconcilable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, having no love for what is 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, they should first learn to show godliness toward their own household and to make some repayment to their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
But if anyone does not provide for his own relatives, and especially for those of his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
