Obediência aos pais
A obediência aos pais é mandamento divino com promessa de vida longa. A Bíblia valoriza a honra filial e ensina os filhos a respeitar e obedecer aos pais com amor.
Honrar pai e mãe
O quinto mandamento ordena honrar pai e mãe. É o primeiro mandamento com promessa: para que vá bem e vivas muito na terra.
Honor your father and mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you to do, so that you may live a long time and do well in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
"For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and ‘Those who curse their father or mother should be put to death.’
Children, as believers in the Lord, do what your parents tell you, for this is the right thing to do. "Honor your father and mother." This is the first commandment that has a promise attached: "that things may go well for you and you may live a long life on the earth." Fathers, don’t make your children mad, but look after them by disciplining them and instructing them about God.
Obedecer e respeitar
Filhos, obedecei a vossos pais no Senhor. A obediência filial é expressão de amor e temor a Deus.
You children, always do what your parents tell you because this is what pleases the Lord.
My son, pay attention to your father’s instruction, and don’t reject your mother’s teaching. They are a wreath of grace to decorate your head; they are pendants for your neck.
My son, pay attention to your father’s instruction, and don’t reject your mother’s teaching. Keep them always in mind. Tie them around your neck. They will lead you as you walk along; they will watch over you as you sleep; when you wake up they will talk with you. For the instruction is a lamp, and the teaching is a light. The correction that comes from discipline is the way to life.
Listen, sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and discover what makes sense, for what I am passing on to you is reliable. Don’t reject my teachings. When I was a son with my father—a tender young boy, my mother’s only child— he was the one who taught me. He told me, "Pay attention to the words I say and keep them in mind; do what I tell you and you will live. Get wisdom, find out what makes sense. Don’t forget my words or reject them.
Don’t give up on wisdom for she will keep you safe. Love wisdom and she will protect you.
A wise son accepts his father’s discipline, but a mocker doesn’t listen to correction.
Teach children the right way to live, and when they grow up they’ll go on doing so.
Disciplina e consequências
A vara e a repreensão dão sabedoria. A Bíblia adverte sobre as consequências sérias da rebeldia e desonra aos pais.
Discipline and correction provide wisdom, but a son left undisciplined is an embarrassment to his mother.
A son who abuses his father and chases away his mother brings shame and disgrace.
People who ridicule their fathers and despise obedience to the mother will have their eyes pecked out by wild ravens and eaten by young vultures.
Anyone who hits their father or mother must be executed.
If someone has an obstinate and rebellious son who doesn’t obey his parents and doesn’t obey them even when he’s punished, his parents must take him to the town elders, to the court in his hometown, and tell them, "Our son is obstinate and rebellious, He doesn’t obey us. He’s a worthless drunk!" Then all the men of his home town will stone him to death. You must eliminate the evil from among you, and every Israelite will hear about it and be afraid.
Anyone who curses their father or mother will have their light put out and end in utter darkness.
Be patient as you experience God’s discipline because he is treating you as his children. What child doesn’t experience a father’s discipline?
For the Christian responsibility of a widow’s children or grandchildren is to do their duty for their own family, and repay their parents by helping them out. This is what pleases God.
