O marido
A Bíblia define o papel do marido com clareza: amar a esposa como Cristo amou a Igreja, ser fiel, protetor e líder servo no lar.
Amar como Cristo amou
Maridos, amai vossas mulheres como Cristo amou a Igreja e se entregou por ela. O amor do marido deve ser sacrificial e incondicional.
A husband should love his wife as much as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it.
In the same way, a husband should love his wife as much as he loves himself. A husband who loves his wife shows he loves himself.
In the same way, a husband should love his wife as much as he loves himself. A husband who loves his wife shows he loves himself. None of us hate our own bodies. We provide for them and take good care of them, just as Christ does for the church,
So each husband should love his wife as much as he loves himself, and each wife should respect her husband.
We are part of the same body. Stop lying and start telling each other the truth. Don’t get so angry that you sin. Don’t go to bed angry and don’t give the devil a chance.
If you are a thief, quit stealing. Be honest and work hard, so you will have something to give to people in need.
Stop all your dirty talk. Say the right thing at the right time and help others by what you say.
Don’t make God’s Spirit sad. The Spirit makes you sure that someday you will be free from your sins.
Stop being bitter and angry and mad at others. Don’t yell at one another or curse each other or ever be rude. Instead, be kind and merciful, and forgive others, just as God forgave you because of Christ.
A husband must love his wife and not abuse her.
A wife must put her husband first. This is her duty as a follower of the Lord.
A husband must love his wife and not abuse her.
Love is more important than anything else. It is what ties everything completely together.
Fidelidade conjugal
O casamento é honroso e o leito conjugal é santo. O marido deve ser fiel à esposa da sua juventude em pensamento e ação.
Have respect for marriage. Always be faithful to your partner, because God will punish anyone who is immoral or unfaithful in marriage.
You should be faithful
to your wife,
just as you take water
from your own well.
And don’t be like a stream
from which just any woman
may take a drink.
Save yourself for your wife
and don’t have sex
with other women.
Be happy with the wife
you married
when you were young.
She is beautiful and graceful,
just like a deer;
you should be attracted to her
and stay deeply in love.
Don’t go crazy over a woman
who is unfaithful
to her own husband!
But I tell you if you look at another woman and want her, you are already unfaithful in your thoughts.
But I tell you not to divorce your wife unless she has committed some terrible sexual sin. If you divorce her, you will cause her to be unfaithful, just as any man who marries her is guilty of taking another man’s wife.
Then they are no longer two people, but one. And no one should separate a couple God has joined together."
Husbands and wives should be fair with each other about having sex. A wife belongs to her husband instead of to herself, and a husband belongs to his wife instead of to himself.
So don’t refuse sex to each other, unless you agree not to have sex for a little while, in order to spend time in prayer. Then Satan won’t be able to tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
I instruct married couples to stay together, and this is exactly what the Lord himself taught. A wife who leaves her husband should either stay single or go back to her husband. And a husband should not leave his wife.
I don’t know of anything else the Lord said about marriage. All I can do is to give you my own advice. If your wife isn’t a follower of the Lord, but is willing to stay with you, don’t divorce her.
Don’t be immoral in matters of sex. That is a sin against your own body in a way no other sin is.
Convivência com sabedoria
O marido sábio vive com a esposa com entendimento, dando-lhe honra como co-herdeira da graça. A união conjugal reflete Cristo e a Igreja.
If you are a husband, you should be thoughtful of your wife. Treat her with honor, because she isn’t as strong as you are, and she shares with you in the gift of life. Then nothing will stand in the way of your prayers.
That’s why a man will leave his own father and mother. He marries a woman, and the two of them become like one person.
Don’t be jealous or proud, but be humble and consider others more important than yourselves. Care about them as much as you care about yourselves
Life is short, and you love your wife, so enjoy being with her. This is what you are supposed to do as you struggle through life on this earth.
A man’s greatest treasure
is his wife—
she is a gift from the Lord.
Don’t be hateful to people, just because they are hateful to you. Rather, be good to each other and to everyone else.
But if you don’t want to worship the Lord, then choose here and now! Will you worship the same idols your ancestors did? Or since you’re living on land that once belonged to the Amorites, maybe you’ll worship their gods. I won’t. My family and I are going to worship and obey the Lord!
Stay away from people who are not followers of the Lord! Can someone who is good get along with someone who is evil? Are light and darkness the same?
Love is patient and kind,
never jealous, boastful,
proud, or rude.
Love isn’t selfish
or quick tempered.
It doesn’t keep a record
of wrongs that others do.
Love rejoices in the truth,
but not in evil.
Love is always supportive,
loyal, hopeful,
and trusting.
