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.
Above every charge keep your heart, || For out of it [are] the outgoings of life.
Do not become yoked with others—unbelievers, for what partaking [is there] to righteousness and lawlessness? And what fellowship to light with darkness? And what concord to Christ with Belial? Or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?
Do two walk together if they have not met?
Do not be led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;
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 the whoredom; every sin—whatever a man may commit—is outside the body, and he who is committing whoredom sins against his own body. Have you not known that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, which you have from God? And you are not your own, for you were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
the meats [are] for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God will make useless both this and these; and the body [is] not for whoredom, but for the LORD, and the LORD for the body;
and if they do not have continence—let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;
I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, || How you stir up, || And how you wake the love until she pleases!
The marriage [is to be] honored by all, and the bed undefiled, for God will judge whoremongers and adulterers.
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 YHWH God says, "[It is] not good for the man to be alone; I make him a helper as his counterpart."
House and wealth [are] the inheritance of fathers, || And an understanding wife [is] from YHWH.
and above all these things, [have] love, which is a bond of the perfection,
