Namoro
O namoro cristão deve ser vivido com sabedoria, pureza e propósito. A Bíblia orienta sobre escolher um cônjuge, guardar o coração e honrar a Deus em todo relacionamento.
Guardar o coração
Sobre tudo o que se deve guardar, guarda o teu coração, porque dele procedem as fontes da vida. O namoro exige vigilância e sabedoria.
Keep thy heart with all diligence;
For out of it are the issues of life.
Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever?
Shall two walk together, except they have agreed?
Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals.
Pureza e santidade
O corpo é templo do Espírito Santo. A Bíblia nos chama a fugir da imoralidade e esperar no amor com paciência e respeito mútuo.
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own; for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body.
Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall bring to nought both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:
But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
That ye stir not up, nor awake my love,
Until he please.
Let marriage be had in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
A esposa prudente vem do Senhor
Deus criou o homem e a mulher para completarem-se. A casa e os bens são herança dos pais, mas a esposa prudente vem do Senhor.
And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.
House and riches are an inheritance from fathers;
But a prudent wife is from Jehovah.
and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.
