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.
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.
Sabedoria e serviço
As mulheres da Bíblia foram líderes, profetisas e discípulas fiéis. Jesus honrou as mulheres e as incluiu em seu ministério.
1 And afterward he went through every city and village preaching and publishing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him.2 And certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had gone seven devils,3 And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him of their substance.
1 In like manner, ye wives, be subject to your own husbands, that if any obey not the word, they also may, without the word, be won by the conversation of the wives,
7 In like manner, ye husbands, dwell according to knowledge with the woman, as the weaker vessel; giving them honour, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.
11 In like manner their wives must be serious, not slanderers, vigilant, faithful in all things.
3 That the aged women in like manner, be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things:4 That they instruct the young women to be wise, to love their husbands,5 to love their chidren, Discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
