نامۀ اول پِطرُس رسول

فصل سوم

روابط زن و شوهر

۱ به همین گونه شما ای زنان، از شوهران خود اطاعت کنید، تا چنانچه بعضی از آنها به کلام خدا ایمان نداشته باشند، بدون آن که یک کلمه هم بگویید رفتار شما، شوهران تان را کمک کند که ایمان بیاورند، ۲ زیرا آنها رفتار نیک و خدا ترسانۀ شما را خواهند دید. ۳ شما زیبایی را تنها در آرایش ظاهری مانند بافتن موها، پوشیدن زیورات طلایی و لباسهای زیبا جستجو نکنید، ۴ بلکه زیبایی واقعی همان آراستن قلب و باطن انسان است که از بین نمی رود و در روح فروتن و آرام قرار دارد که در نظر خدا بسیار با ارزش است. ۵ زیرا در گذشته زنان مقدسی که به خدا توکل داشتند، به این شیوه خود را زیبا می ساختند. آنها از شوهران خود اطاعت می کردند. ۶ مانند ساره که از ابراهیم اطاعت می کرد و او را سَروَر خطاب می نمود. اگر شما هم نیکوکار باشید و از هیچ چیز نترسید، در این صورت دختران او خواهید بود.

۷ همین گونه شما نیز ای شوهران، در زندگی با زنان تان با درک و فهم باشید و با آنها، چون که خلقت ظریف هستند، با احترام و عزت رفتار کنید زیرا که آنها نیز مانند شما وارثان فیض زندگی هستند، مبادا دعاهای شما مستجاب نشود.

رنج و زحمت به خاطر کارهای نیکو

۸ خلاصه این که همه یک فکر و یک دل باشید، به یکدیگر همدردی کنید، همدیگر را مانند برادر دوست داشته و دلسوز و فروتن باشید. ۹ بدی را با بدی و دشنام را با دشنام جواب ندهید بلکه به جای دشنام، برکت بطلبید زیرا خدا شما را فرا خوانده است تا وارث برکت شوید. ۱۰ چون نوشته شده است:

«هر کسی که آرزومند زندگی خوب است و دوست دارد که عمر طولانی داشته باشد،

دهان خود را از سخنان بد،

و لبهای خود را از دروغ نگهدارد.

۱۱ او باید از بدی دوری نموده و نیکویی کند

و صلح و سلامتی را بجوید و آن را دنبال نماید.

۱۲ زیرا چشمان خداوند به سوی عادلان است،

و گوشهای او برای شنیدن دعاهای آنها باز می باشد،

اما روی خداوند بر ضد شریران است.»

۱۳ اگر مشتاق نیکویی هستید چه کسی به شما ضرر خواهد رساند؟ ۱۴ خوشا به حال شما که به خاطر عدالت، جفا می بینید. از تهدیدهای مردم نترسید و تشویش نکنید. ۱۵ اما مسیح را در دلهای تان به عنوان خداوند خود بدانید. همیشه آمادۀ جواب دادن به کسی باشید که دلیل امید شما را می پرسد. اما جواب تان باید با ملایمت و احترام باشد. ۱۶ وجدانهای صاف و پاک داشته باشید تا اگر وقتی به شما دشنام می دهند یا از رفتار نیک شما در مسیح به بدی یاد می کنند، از گفتار خود شرمنده شوند. ۱۷ زیرا اگر خواست خدا بر این است که شما رنج ببینید، بهتر است به خاطر نیکوکاری باشد نه به خاطر بدکاری.

۱۸ زیرا مسیح نیز یکبار برای گناهان بشر رنج کشید، او یک شخص بیگناه بود که به جای گناهکاران مُرد تا شما را در حضور خدا بیاورد. او جسماً مُرد اما در روح به زندگی خود ادامه داد ۱۹ و به پیش ارواح محبوس رفت و برای آنها موعظه کرد، ۲۰ زیرا آنها کسانی بودند که در آن وقت که نوح به ساختن کشتی مشغول بود و خدا با صبر و حوصله انتظار می کشید، اطاعت نکردند. تنها عده یی کم یعنی هشت نفر از آب گذشته و نجات یافتند. ۲۱ این آب نشانۀ تعمیدی است که اکنون شما را نجات می بخشد. هدف از تعمید شُست و شوی کثافات بدن نیست بلکه درخواست به خدا برای عطای وجدان پاک است که به وسیلۀ رستاخیز عیسای مسیح این نجات نصیب تان می گردد. ۲۲ عیسای مسیح به عالم بالا رفت و حالا در دست راست خداست و تمام فرشته گان و قدرتهای روحانی زیر فرمان او هستند.

Are Women and Girls Allowed to Study in Christian Teachings?
There is no restriction on the education of women and girls in Christianity. Women can receive education in churches, schools, universities, higher and semi-higher education institutes, teacher training centres, and in every other field. In Christianity, Jesus Christ comes to earth as the Saviour of humankind; this salvation is for both women and men. The matter of salvation from sin and spiritual death forms the foundation of Christianity. By believing in Jesus Christ, everyone becomes part of God’s family, where there is no distinction between male and female. Men are recognised as sons of God, and women as spiritual daughters of God through Jesus Christ.

Is It a Sin to Speak Ill of Others?

Is It a Sin to Speak Ill of Others? (Peace and Joy in Christ)
Many people are like two tongues. For they worship God with one tongue, but immediately after the meeting is over, they slander and gossip about their brothers and sisters behind their backs. They bless and curse from the same mouth! Brothers, it is not right for this to happen. Let us not deceive ourselves! God will never answer the seemingly sweet prayer of one who speaks evil of his brother behind his back. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar. If a person’s speech is bitter, disgusting, and bitter, his heart will also be filled with bitterness and evil. A person can pretend to be good and sweet for a while, but after a while the evil of his heart will be revealed by the words of his tongue.

The Life of a Couple From the Perspective of the Bible (With You)
When a believing couple follows God's principles, the result is a biblical marriage. A biblical marriage is balanced because Christ is the head of the husband and the wife. When the husband and wife are truly united, as in the picture of Christ united to the church, this is a real Bible-based marriage. When a couple has love and respect for each other, they will have a good and peaceful life.

Our Appearance Is Beautiful or Knowing Our Inner Self

Our Appearance Is Beautiful or Knowing Our Inner Self (Peace and Joy in Christ)
There are two types of beauty and adornment. One is external adornment and the other is inner humanity. God looks at the inside of people. The inner humanity is incorruptible and the soul is meek and calm. Such adornment is precious in the sight of God. May women with faith strive to beautify their inner selves. It should be known that having a neat and beautiful appearance is not a sin. Wearing dirty clothes and having an untidy appearance is not a sign of the faith of a Christian woman! A Christian woman should look modest and modest. This is why the apostle Peter tells the Christian women of his time not to dress like unbelieving women and not to make up like them. Because if they dress themselves like worldly people, they will not glorify God.

Woman, Suitable Companion

Woman, Suitable Companion (With You)
God called every part of his creation good, but suddenly he said that one thing was not good: "It is not good that man should be alone". The man he created was not perfect in some way. He needed a suitable companion. In what sense could a woman be a suitable companion? First of all, Adam needed a companion to have children in the future. Second, all men need someone they can share their hearts with. Therefore, a man needs someone who is like him. Third, man needed someone to complete and complement him, someone who would make up for his shortcomings. In God’s eyes, man and woman are equal, but he created man for one purpose and woman for another purpose.

Peace With Our Fellow Man

Peace With Our Fellow Man (With You)
Just as a father or mother devotes themselves to serving their children, we should also be ready to dedicate ourselves to others. A Christian must love all people. Christians must love others in the same way that Christ loved us. A person who has love respects others. Someone who loves his brother or sister will protect their dignity and respect. We should always consider others better than ourselves. If we follow this simple principle, there will never be any division between us and our families.

Are Christians Allowed to Go to Any (Party)?

Are Christians Allowed to Go to Any (Party)? (Peace and Joy in Christ)
The reason why the party is popular among people is that they get a chance to gather with friends and relatives; Get to know other new people and have fun together. Christian fellowship has a vague concept called fellowship, which the Bible tells us that we are called to fellowship with Christ. Believers in Christ are not allowed to go to any immoral parties. Believers should resist temptations because we know that a bad companion corrupts a good person.
