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 your father and your mother: that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God gives you.
16 Honour your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you; that your days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with you, in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
2 Honour your father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;3 That it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.2 Honour your father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;3 That it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.4 And, all of you fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto 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 your father, and forsake not the law of your mother:
8 My son, hear the instruction of your father, and forsake not the law of your mother:9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto your head, and chains about your neck.
1 Hear, all of you children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
1 A wise son hears his father's instruction: but a scorner hears not rebuke.
22 Hearken unto your father that brings forth you, and despise not your mother when she is old.
3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do all of you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?4 For God commanded, saying, Honour your father and mother: and, He that curses father or mother, let him die the death.
3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do all of you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?4 For God commanded, saying, Honour your father and mother: and, He that curses father or mother, let him die the death.5 But all of you say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever you might be profited by me;6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have all of you 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.
26 He that wastes his father, and chases away his mother, is a son that causes shame, and brings reproach.
20 Whoso curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
17 The eye that mocks at his father, and despises to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
17 And he that curses his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
1 This know also, that in the last days dangerous times shall come.2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
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 nephews, let them learn first to show piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
3 All of you shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
32 You shall rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear your God: I am the LORD.
