O Dia dos Namorados é uma oportunidade de celebrar o amor com propósito, cuidado e espiritualidade.

Separamos 10 versículos bíblicos que falam sobre o amor — perfeitos para compartilhar, meditar ou enviar como mensagem especial neste 12 de junho.
1. 1 Coríntios 13:4-7
If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always "me first,"
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
Este é o texto mais conhecido sobre o amor na Bíblia. Ele descreve as marcas do amor verdadeiro, aquele que edifica e respeita.
2. Cantares de Salomão 8:7
Hang my locket around your neck,
wear my ring on your finger.
Love is invincible facing danger and death.
Passion laughs at the terrors of hell.
The fire of love stops at nothing—
it sweeps everything before it.
Flood waters can’t drown love,
torrents of rain can’t put it out.
Love can’t be bought, love can’t be sold—
it’s not to be found in the marketplace.
My brothers used to worry about me:
Um retrato da força do amor entre duas pessoas que caminham em aliança.
3. 1 João 4:7
God Is Love
My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God.
O amor humano encontra sentido e plenitude quando nasce da fonte divina.
4. Efésios 4:2
In light of all this, here’s what I want you to do. While I’m locked up here, a prisoner for the Master, I want you to get out there and walk—better yet, run!—on the road God called you to travel. I don’t want any of you sitting around on your hands. I don’t want anyone strolling off, down some path that goes nowhere. And mark that you do this with humility and discipline—not in fits and starts, but steadily, pouring yourselves out for each other in acts of love, alert at noticing differences and quick at mending fences.
Relacionamentos saudáveis exigem maturidade emocional e espiritual. Este versículo lembra que o amor também é feito de humildade e paciência.
5. Provérbios 10:12
Hatred starts fights,
but love pulls a quilt over the bickering.
O amor tem o poder de curar, reconciliar e unir, mesmo diante de falhas e dificuldades.
6. Colossenses 3:14
So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.
Um lembrete de que o amor é o alicerce que une tudo com harmonia.
7. Gênesis 2:18
God said, "It’s not good for the Man to be alone; I’ll make him a helper, a companion." So God formed from the dirt of the ground all the animals of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the Man to see what he would name them. Whatever the Man called each living creature, that was its name. The Man named the cattle, named the birds of the air, named the wild animals; but he didn’t find a suitable companion.
Desde o princípio, Deus planejou o relacionamento a dois como parte de Seu cuidado com o ser humano.
8. Romanos 12:10
Love from the center of who you are; don’t fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle.
O amor cristão é demonstrado por meio de ações práticas, como o respeito e o cuidado com o outro.
9. Cantares de Salomão 2:16
My lover is mine, and I am his.
Nightly he strolls in our garden,
Delighting in the flowers
until dawn breathes its light and night slips away.
Turn to me, dear lover.
Come like a gazelle.
Leap like a wild stag
on delectable mountains!
Um dos versículos mais românticos da Bíblia, expressando pertencimento e afeição no relacionamento.
10. 1 Coríntios 16:14
Keep your eyes open, hold tight to your convictions, give it all you’ve got, be resolute, and love without stopping.
A essência do cristão, inclusive nos relacionamentos amorosos, deve ser o amor em todas as suas ações.
