Pais
Deus é nosso Pai celestial — amoroso, provedor, disciplinador e fiel. As Escrituras também honram os pais terrenos e os chamam a criar os filhos na instrução do Senhor.
O Pai celestial
Deus é Pai de misericórdias. Ele nos adotou como filhos, nos ama incondicionalmente e cuida de cada detalhe da nossa vida.
Do not allow anyone to seduce you to sin, because you are God’s children, and his children maintain themselves free from evil behavior by not continuing to sin as the devil’s children do.
Think about how much our heavenly Father loves us! He allows us to ◄say that we are/be called► his children! And it is indeed true that we are his children. But people in the world [MTY] who are unbelievers have not understood who God is. So they do not understand who we are, that we belong to God.

You have showed that this is true, because you received from God a Spirit that is not one that makes you fear God again. You are not like slaves who fear their masters [MET]. On the contrary, we have received a Spirit by whose work in our hearts God has adopted us. The Spirit now enables us to cry out to God, "You(sg) are my Father [DOU]!" The Spirit himself confirms what our spirits say, that we are God’s children.
But those of us who welcomed him, God authorized that we would have a relationship with him [MET] like children have a relationship with their father. We were people who believed that what he said about himself [MTY] was true.
I pray that God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ will kindly help you and enable you to have inner peace.
Just like parents act mercifully toward their children,
Yahweh is kind to those who revere him.
Just like parents act mercifully toward their children,
Yahweh is kind to those who revere him.
He knows what our bodies are like;
he remembers that he created us from dirt,
and so we quickly fail to do what pleases him [MET].
God, who lives in his sacred temple, is like [MET] a father to those who are orphans,
and he is the one who protects widows.
Yahweh, you are our father.
We are like [MET] clay,
and you created us, like [MET] a potter creates pottery.
You are our father.
Abraham does not know what is happening to us,
and Jacob is not concerned about us, either,
but Yahweh, you are our father;
you rescued us long ago.
Another reason that we will rejoice is that a special child will be born for us;
a woman will give birth to a son,
who will be our ruler.
And his names will be ‘Wonderful Counselor’, ‘Mighty/Powerful God’, ‘Our Everlasting Father’, and ‘Prince/Ruler who enables us to have Peace’.

O cuidado paterno de Deus
O Pai celestial sabe do que precisamos antes de pedirmos. Ele dá boas dádivas aos filhos que pedem e cuida até dos passarinhos.
Look at the birds. They do not plant seeds, and they do not harvest crops and gather them into barns. But they always have food to eat because God, your Father who is in heaven, provides food for them. And you are certainly worth a lot more than birds [RHQ]! So you can be assured that God will supply what you need!
Think about the sparrows. They have so little value that you can buy cares two of them for only one small coin [RHQ]. But when any sparrow falls to the ground and dies [LIT], God, your heavenly Father, knows it, because he cares about everything. He cares about you, too. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head! God values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid of people who threaten to kill you
But as for you, when you pray, go into your private room and close the door in order to pray to God, your Father, whom no one can see. He observes you where no one else observes you, and he will reward you.
Instead, each of you, when you abstain from food, should comb your hair and wash your face as usual, in order that other people will not notice that you are fasting because you will look as you always do. But God, your Father, whom no one can see, will observe that you are abstaining from food. God your Father sees you even though no one else sees you, and he will reward you."
If one of you had a son who asked you (sg) for a fish to eat, ◄you (sg) certainly would not give him a poisonous snake instead!/would you give him a poisonous snake instead?► [RHQ] If he asked you for an egg, ◄you (sg) certainly would not give him a scorpion!/would you give him a scorpion?► [RHQ] Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly give good things to those who ask him, including giving the Holy Spirit, who is the best gift."
You who are my disciples are like a small flock of sheep, and I am like your shepherd. So you should not be afraid. Your Father in heaven wants to let you rule with him in heaven.
The truth is that God, our heavenly Father [MTY], does only good [DOU] things for us, in order to help us become all that he intends us to be. He is not like all the things in the sky that he created to give light, because they change; that is, they do not shine the same all the time. But God never changes. He is always good.
God did not spare even his very own Son. Instead, he turned him over to others to cruelly kill him in order that all we who believe in him may benefit from his dying for us. Therefore, because God did that, ◄he will also certainly give us freely everything that we need to live for him, in addition to giving us Christ./will he not also certainly give us freely everything that we need to live for him, in addition to giving us Christ?► [RHQ]
Conhecer o Pai
Jesus é o caminho para o Pai. Ninguém conhece o Pai senão o Filho e aquele a quem o Filho quiser revelar.
Jesus said to him, "I am the road [MET] to where my Father is. I am the one who reveals [MET] the truth about God and the one who gives eternal life to people. I am the only one who can enable people to come to my Father. There is no other way.
Where my Father is in heaven there is plenty of room! If that were not true, I would have told you. I am about to go there to prepare a place for you.
And whatever you, using my authority, ask me to do, I will do it, in order that I can show you how great my Father is.
Those who have accepted my commands and obey them are the people who love me. My Father will love those who love me. I also will love them, and I will fully reveal to them what I am like."
Jesus replied to him, "Those who love me will obey what I have told them. My Father will also love them. It is those people whom my Father and I will be able to come to and ◄live with/have a personal relationship with►.
No one has ever seen God. But God’s only Son, Jesus, who has always had a very close relationship with God, has told us about God.
I will give them eternal life. No one will separate them from me, not ever. No one shall ever pull them away from belonging to me. Those that my Father has given to me are more precious than anything else (OR, My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than anything that opposes them). So no one can pull them away from belonging to him [MTY]. My father and I are equal."
My Father, I want the disciples you have brought to me to some day be with me in heaven, where I will be. I want them to see my greatness. I want them to see the greatness you gave me because you loved me. You gave me that greatness before you created the world.
Then Jesus said to the people there who wanted him to teach them, "God, my Father, has revealed to me all the things that I need to know in order to do my work. Only my Father knows who I really am. Furthermore, only I and those people to whom I wish to reveal him know what God my Father is like.
You need to love those who do not love you, and in that way become perfect as God your Father, who is in heaven, is perfect."
But you who are my disciples should not allow people to address you honorably as ‘Rabbi’, which means ‘teacher’. I am the only one who is really your teacher, which means that you are all equal, like brothers and sisters, and none of you should act superior to another, as the Pharisees do. Do not honor anyone on earth by addressing him as ‘Father’, because God, your Father in heaven, is the only spiritual father of all of you.
Do you think that [RHQ] if I asked my Father, he would not immediately send more than ◄twelve armies of/72,000► angels to help me?
Act mercifully toward others, just like your Father in heaven acts mercifully toward you."
So, praise God our Father forever and ever! Amen!
Disciplina e amor paterno
O Pai disciplina os filhos que ama. A correção divina produz fruto de justiça e paz para aqueles que foram exercitados por ela.
Since our sufferings are to discipline us, if we have not experienced God’s discipline we are not his true children. We should accept God’s discipline, because it is always to help us.
It is in order that God may discipline you that he requires you to endure the disagreeable things that happen to you. When God disciplines you he is treating you as a father treats his children. All fathers [RHQ] discipline their children [LIT]. So, if you have not experienced God disciplining you just like he disciplines all his other children, you are not true children of God [MET]. You are like illegitimate children; no father disciplines them. Furthermore, our natural fathers disciplined us when we were young, and we respected them for doing that. So we should certainly more readily accept God our spiritual Father disciplining us, with the result that we live eternally [RHQ]! Our natural fathers disciplined us for a short time in a way that they considered right, but it wasn’t always right, but God always disciplines us in a right way, to help us. He does it so that we may be holy as he is.
My son, when Yahweh disciplines/corrects you, do not despise it,
and if he rebukes you, do not resent it.
I say that because it is the people whom Yahweh loves that he corrects/reproves,
just like parents correct/reprove their sons whom they love.

Pais terrenos
A Bíblia honra os pais que criam os filhos nos caminhos de Deus. Honrar pai e mãe é mandamento com promessa de vida longa.
You children, because you ◄belong to/have a close relationship with► the Lord Jesus, obey your parents, because it is right for you to do that. God commanded in the Scriptures,
Greatly respect your father and mother.
That is the first law that God commanded in which he also promised something. He promised,
If you do that, you will prosper, and you will live a long time.
You parents (OR, You fathers), do not treat your children so severely that they become angry. Instead, bring them up well by instructing them and by disciplining them in the manner that the Lord Jesus wants you to do.

Honor/Respect your fathers and your mothers, in order that you may live a long time in the land that I, Yahweh God, will give you.
Warnings about sinful people
My son, pay attention to what I, your father, am teaching you.
And do not reject what your mother teaches you.
What we teach you will make you respected like having a lovely turban around your head
and like a beautiful necklace to put around your neck.
Righteous children will cause their parents to be very happy;
those whose children are wise are proud of them.
Foolish children despise their parents when their parents correct/discipline them;
wise children accept it.
Old people are usually proud of [MET] their grandchildren,
just like children are usually proud of their parents.
If someone curses his father or his mother,
his life will be ended, just like a lamp is extinguished.
Children, obey your parents in every circumstance; parents, do not over-correct your children.
You children, obey your parents in every circumstance, because the Lord God is pleased when you do that. You parents (OR, you fathers), do not correct your children more than you need to, in order that they do not become discouraged.
Children are a gift that comes to parents from Yahweh;
they are a reward/blessing from him.
If a man has sons while he is still young,
when they grow up, they will be able to help him defend his family
like [SIM] a soldier can defend himself if he has a bow and arrows in his hand.
A man who has many sons is very happy,
like [MET] a soldier who has many arrows in his quiver is very happy.
If a man with his many grown sons is taken by his enemies to the place where they decide matters, his enemies will never be able to defeat that man,
because his sons will help to defend him.
Only people who are still alive, like I am, can praise you.
Fathers tell their children how you are faithful,
and if I remain alive, I will do the same thing.
"Parents must not be executed for crimes that their children have committed, and children must not be executed for crimes that their parents have committed. People should be executed only for the crimes that they themselves have committed.
The things that God has created are very eagerly waiting for the time [PRS, DOU] when God will reveal who his true children are.
I am writing this to you whom I love as though [MET] you were my little children, to you who are spiritually mature people who are like [MET] fathers, and to you spiritually vigorous/strong people who are like [MET] young men. Remember that your sins have been forgiven {God has forgiven your sins} on account of what Christ [MTY] has done. You now know Christ, the one who always existed. You have defeated the evil one, Satan.
I will say it again: I have written this to you because you have come to know the Father, because you now know Christ, the one who always existed, because you are spiritually strong, because you continue to obey God’s word, and because you have defeated the evil one, Satan.
Do not esteem the evil manner in which other people in the world live, since you want to live forever.
Do not desire to conduct you lives in the evil manner in which godless people in the world [MTY] conduct their lives, and do not love anything that the evil people in the world [MTY] consider to be good. Those who desire to conduct their lives in the evil manner in which other people of the world [MTY] conduct their lives do not really love God, their Father, at all.
