O papel do homem

A Bíblia define o papel do homem na família e na sociedade: líder servidor, provedor fiel, pai presente e marido amoroso, seguindo o exemplo de Cristo.

Marido e pai

O marido deve amar a esposa como Cristo amou a Igreja. O pai é chamado a criar os filhos na disciplina e instrução do Senhor.

Husbands and Wives

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for her;

Efésios 5:25

4 And fathers, do not make your children angry, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Efésios 6:4

19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.

Colossenses 3:19

7 Husbands, in the same way live with your wives knowledgeably, as with the weaker female vessel, showing them honor as fellow heirs also of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

1 Pedro 3:7

Provedor e responsável

Quem não cuida dos seus é pior que o descrente. O homem deve trabalhar com diligência e prover para sua família com honra.

8 But if someone does not provide for his own relatives, and especially the members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

1 Timóteo 5:8

10 For even when we were with you, we used to command this to you: that if anyone does not want to work, neither should he eat.

2 Tessalonicenses 3:10

23 Whatever you do, accomplish it from the soul, as to the Lord, and not to people,

Colossenses 3:23

2 Therefore the overseer must be irreproachable, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, skillful in teaching, 3 not addicted to wine, not a violent person, but gentle, peaceable, not loving money, 4 managing his own household well, having children in submission with all dignity

1 Timóteo 3:2-4

Caráter e liderança

O homem de Deus é corajoso, íntegro e cheio do Espírito. Ele lidera pelo exemplo e guia sua casa nos caminhos do Senhor.
