Mulher
A Bíblia celebra a mulher como obra-prima da criação divina. Ela é elogiada por sua sabedoria, força, beleza interior e papel fundamental na família e na sociedade.
A mulher na criação
Deus criou o homem e a mulher à sua imagem. A mulher foi formada como ajudadora idônea — parceira de igual dignidade e valor.
27 And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the place with flesh instead thereof.22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from the man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.23 And the man said: 'This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.'
Virtude e caráter
A beleza é vã e a formosura passageira, mas a mulher que teme ao Senhor é digna de louvor. Seu caráter é seu maior tesouro.
30 Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
1 Every wise woman buildeth her house; but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but she that doeth shamefully is as rottenness in his bones.
16 A gracious woman obtaineth honour; and strong men obtain riches.
14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers; but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
19 It is better to dwell in a desert land, than with a contentious and fretful woman.
11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou sayest; for all the men in the gate of my people do know that thou art a virtuous woman.
Sabedoria e serviço
