Mãe
A mãe é honrada na Bíblia como pilar da família. Seu amor incondicional, sua sabedoria e sua dedicação são celebrados como reflexo do próprio amor de Deus por seus filhos.
O amor de mãe
Pode uma mãe esquecer-se do filho do seu ventre? Ainda que ela se esquecesse, Deus nunca nos abandona. O amor materno reflete o divino.
13 »As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you. You will be comforted in Jerusalem.«
3 Children are an inheritance from Jehovah. They are a blessing from him.
1 Blessed are all who reverence Jehovah and live his way.2 You will certainly eat what your own hands have provided. Blessings to you! May things go well for you!
4 Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is not jealous. Love does not brag and is not arrogant proud.5 Love does not act indecently. It is not selfish. It is not provoked and does not take into account a wrong suffered.6 Love does not rejoice with evil, but rejoices with the truth.7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
Sabedoria e instrução
A mãe sábia instrui os filhos nos caminhos de Deus. Seu ensino é lei que guia e sua disciplina é expressão de amor verdadeiro.
8 My son, listen to the instruction of your father. Do not forsake the law of your mother.9 Discipline and education are a graceful ornament on your head, and a golden chain around your neck.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
24 He who spares the rod authority hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines instructs him promptly.
20 A wise son makes a father glad. A foolish man despises his mother.
9 »Be on your guard! Make sure you do not forget, as long as you live, what you have seen with your own eyes. Teach them to your children and your grandchildren.
Honrar a mãe
Honra teu pai e tua mãe. A mulher virtuosa é digna de louvor — seus filhos se levantam e a chamam bem-aventurada.
12 »Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land Jehovah your God gives you.
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord for this is right.2 Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise.3 Then it will go well with you, and you may live long on the earth.
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? For her value is far above corals.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing. She will rejoice in time to come.26 She opens her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue is the law of kindness she speaks kind things.27 She watches over her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness.28 Her children arise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her.29 Many daughters have done well, but you are above them all.30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain. But a woman who respects Jehovah will be praised.
