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, so that thy days are prolonged on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.
16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee, so that thy days are prolonged, and so that it is well with thee, on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.
2 honour thy father and mother,3 which is the first command with a promise, That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live a long time upon the land.
1 The children! obey your parents in the Lord, for this is righteous;2 honour thy father and mother,3 which is the first command with a promise, That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live a long time upon the land.4 And the fathers! provoke not your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition of the Lord.
20 the children! obey the 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 Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother,
8 Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother,9 For a graceful wreath [are] they to thy head, And chains to thy neck.
1 Hear, ye sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding.
1 A wise son -- the instruction of a father, And a scorner -- he hath not heard rebuke.
22 Hearken to thy father, who begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she hath become old.
3 And he answering said to them, Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition?4 for God did command, saying, Honour thy father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death;
3 And he answering said to them, Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition?4 for God did command, saying, Honour thy father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death;5 but ye say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering [is] whatever thou mayest be profited by me; --6 and he may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did set aside the command of God because of your tradition.
Consequências da desonra
A Bíblia adverte severamente contra a desonra aos pais. Quem amaldiçoa ou agride os pais enfrenta consequências sérias.
26 Whoso is spoiling a father causeth a mother to flee, A son causing shame, and bringing confusion.
20 Whoso is vilifying his father and his mother, Extinguished is his lamp in blackness of darkness.
17 An eye that mocketh at a father, And despiseth to obey a mother, Dig it out do ravens of the valley, And eat it do young eagles.
17 And he who is reviling his father or his mother is certainly put to death.
1 And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come perilous times,2 for men shall be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, evil-speakers, to parents disobedient, unthankful, unkind,3 without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, not lovers of those who 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 and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.
8 and if any one for his own -- and especially for those of the household -- doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.
3 Each his mother and his father ye do fear, and My sabbaths ye do keep; I [am] Jehovah your God.
32 At the presence of grey hairs thou dost rise up, and thou hast honoured the presence of an old man, and hast been afraid of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.
