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.
23 Above all else, guard thy heart; for out of it flows the [issues of] life.
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers, for what fellowship does righteousness have with unrighteousness? and what communion does light have with darkness?15 And what concord does Christ have with Belial? or what part do the faithful have with the unfaithful?
3 Can two walk together except they be agreed?
33 Be not deceived: evil companions corrupt good character.
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.
18 Flee fornication. Any [other] sin that a man does is outside the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit [who is] in you, whom ye have of God, and that ye are not your own?20 For ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.:
13 Foods [are] for the belly, and the belly for foods; but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
9 But if they do not have [the gift of] continence, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn.
4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye not awake nor stir up love until he pleases.
4 Let Marriage [be] honourable in all and the bed undefiled; but the 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.
18 And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.
14 House and riches [are] the inheritance from fathers, but the prudent wife [is] from the LORD.
14 And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of perfection.
