A mulher sábia: como ela edifica o lar e a família

1 The wise woman builds her house,

But the foolish tears it down with her own hands.(Proverbs 14:1)

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,

And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.(Proverbs 9:10)

33 *The fear of the Lord is the instruction for wisdom,

And before honor comes humility.(Proverbs 15:33)

5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and *without reproach, and it will be given to him.(James 1:5)

11 Seek the Lord and His strength;

Seek His face continually.(1 Chronicles 16:11)

10 An excellent wife, who can find her?

For her worth is far above jewels.(Proverbs 31:10)

25 Strength and dignity are her clothing,

And she smiles at the *future.

26 She opens her mouth in wisdom,

And the *teaching of kindness is on her tongue.(Proverbs 31:25,26)

28 Her children rise up and bless her;

Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:

29 "Many daughters have done nobly,

But you excel them all."(Proverbs 31:28,29)

30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,

But a woman who *fears the Lord, she shall be praised.(Proverbs 31:30)

4 An *excellent wife is the crown of her husband,

But she who shames him is like rottenness in his bones.(Proverbs 12:4)

16 A gracious woman attains honor,

And ruthless men attain riches.(Proverbs 11:16)

14 House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers,

But a prudent wife is from the Lord.(Proverbs 19:14)

3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, 4 so that they may *encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.(Titus 2:3-5)

11 *Women must likewise be dignified, not malicious gossips, but *temperate, faithful in all things.(1 Timothy 3:11)

1 "Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.2 Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they did not take extra oil with them;4 but the prudent ones took oil in flasks with their lamps.5 Now while the groom was delaying, they all became drowsy and began to sleep.6 But at midnight *there finally was a shout: ‘Behold, the groom! Come out to meet him.’7 Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps.8 But the foolish virgins said to the prudent ones, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’9 However, the prudent ones answered, ‘No, there most certainly would not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’10 But while they were *on their way to buy the oil, the groom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut.11 Yet later, the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’12 But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’13 Be on the alert then, because you do not know the day nor the hour.(Matthew 25:1-13)
