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.
And God made of nought a man to his image and likeness; God made of nought a man, to the image of God; God made of nought them, male and female.
Therefore the Lord God sent sleep into Adam, and when he slept, God took one of his ribs, and filled flesh for it.
And the Lord God builded the rib which he had taken from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam.
And Adam said, This is now a bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; this shall be called virago, for she is taken 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.
Fairness is deceivable grace, and vain; that woman, that dreadeth the Lord, [she] shall be praised.
A wise woman buildeth her house; and an unwise woman shall destroy with hands, that is, with her evil works, an house builded.
A diligent woman is a crown to her husband; and rot is in the bones of that woman, that doeth things worthy of confusion.
A gracious woman shall find glory; and strong men shall have riches.
Houses and riches be given of father and mother; but a prudent wife is given properly of the Lord.
It is better to dwell in a desert land, than with a woman full of chiding, and wrathful.
Therefore, do not thou dread, but whatever thing thou shalt say to me, I shall do to thee; for all the people that dwelleth within the gates of my city know, that thou art a woman of virtue.
Sabedoria e serviço
As mulheres da Bíblia foram líderes, profetisas e discípulas fiéis. Jesus honrou as mulheres e as incluiu em seu ministério.
And it was done afterward, and Jesus made journey by cities and castles, preaching and evangelizing the realm of God, and twelve with him;
and some women that were healed of wicked spirits and sicknesses, Mary, that is called Magdalene, of whom seven devils went out,
and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, the procurator of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, that ministered to him of their riches.
Also women be they subject to their husbands; that if any man, that is, husbands, believe not to the word, by the conversation of women they be won without word.
Also men dwell together, and by knowing [or science], give ye honour to the woman’s frailty, [or to her vessel], as to the more feeble, and as to even-heirs of grace and of life, that your prayers be not hindered.
Also it behooveth women to be chaste, not backbiting, sober, faithful in all things.
also old women in holy habit, not slanderers [or backbiters], not serving much to wine, well-teaching, that they teach prudence.
Admonish thou young women, that they love their husbands, that they love their children;
and that they be prudent, chaste, sober, having care of the house, benign, subject to their husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
