Marido e mulher
O casamento é aliança sagrada entre marido e mulher, instituída por Deus desde o Éden. A Bíblia define papéis complementares fundados em amor, respeito e fidelidade mútua.
Instituição divina
Deus criou homem e mulher e os uniu em uma só carne. O casamento é projeto divino que reflete o amor de Cristo pela Igreja.
So God-Elōhīm [The Living Word of GOD] created man in his [own] image, in the image of God-Elōhīm [The Messiah Pre-Incarnate] created he him; male and female created he them.
And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm [The Living Word - The Many Powered] said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helpful partner for him.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cling to (hold onto; stick to) his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
He answered them: "Have you not read that He who made them of old, male and female He created them".
He said: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and cleave (split open; cut open; divide) to his wife and they will become one flesh".
"If so, they are not two but one flesh, and whatever The Creator has joined together man is unable to separate"
And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue (part that remains, the rest) of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
Papéis no casamento
O marido ama e a mulher respeita. Ambos se submetem voluntariamente a Deus e um ao outro, em parceria e unidade.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Moshiach [Messiah] also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
That he might sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself.
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord - Kurios the church:
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord - Kurios.
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Moshiach [Messiah] is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Therefore as the church is subject unto Moshiach [Messiah], so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing.
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband.
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord - Kurios.
Husbands, love [your] wives, and be not bitter against them.
Likewise, you2f wives, [be] in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conduct of the wives;
While they behold your pure (clean; not corrupt) Conversation (behavior; way of life; community) [coupled] with fear.
Likewise, you2f husbands, dwell with [them] according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
Fidelidade e união
O casamento é honroso e deve ser preservado com fidelidade. O cordão de três dobras não se rompe facilmente.
Two [are] better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him [that is] alone when he falls; for [he has] not another to help him up.
Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm [alone]?
And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price [is] far above rubies.
The heart of her husband does safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil (plunder; prey; booty).
[Whoso] finds a wife finds a good [thing], and obtains favour of the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].
House and riches [are] the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife [is] from the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].
A virtuous woman [is] a crown to her husband: but she that makes ashamed [is] as rottenness in his bones.
Let youi fountain be Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous): and rejoice with the wife of youi youth.
[Let her be as] the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy youi at all times; and be youi ravished always with her love.
Permanecer juntos
O que Deus uniu, o homem não separe. A Bíblia protege o casamento e orienta sobre convivência, perdão e perseverança conjugal.
Now concerning the things whereof you2f wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.
Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
Let the husband render unto the wife sexual dues: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
The wife has not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband has not power of his own body, but the wife.
Defraud you2f not one the other, except [it be] with consent for a time, that you2f may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan [the adversary] tempt you not for your incontinency.
And unto the married I command, [yet] not I, but the Lord - Kurios, Let not the wife depart from [her] husband:
But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to [her] husband: and let not the husband put away [his] wife.
But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such [cases]: but God-The Father has called us to peace.
For what know youi, O wife, whether youi shall save [youri] husband? or how know youi, O man, whether youi shall save [youri] wife?
For the woman which has an husband is bound by the law to [her] husband so long as he lives; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of [her] husband.
When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: [but] he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he has taken.
