رسالۀ اول پِترُس رسول

فصل سوم

زنان و شوهران

۱به همین طریق شما ای زنان، مُطیع شوهران خود باشید تا چنانچه بعضی از آن ها به کلام خدا ایمان ندارند به وسیلۀ رفتار شما ایمان آورند. بدون آنکه شما به آن ها چیزی بگوئید، ۲زیرا آن ها رفتار نیک و خدا ترسی شما را خواهند دید. ۳زیبایی شما در آرایش ظاهری نباشد که به آرایش مو و پوشیدن جواهرات و لباس زیبا بستگی دارد؛ ۴بلکه زیبایی شما از باطن باشد. درون خود را با گوهر فنا ناپذیر یک روح آرام و ملایم بیارائید، زیرا این نوع زیبائی در نظر خدا ارزش بسیار دارد. ۵به این طریق بود که زنان مقدسی که در قدیم به خدا توکل داشتند، خود را زیبا می ساختند. آن ها مُطیع شوهران خود بودند، ۶مثل سارا که از ابراهیم اطاعت کرده او را «سروَر» خطاب می نمود. پس اگر شما هم نیکوکاری کنید و از چیزی نترسید، دختران او خواهید بود.

۷و شما نیز ای شوهران، باید رفتار تان با همسر تان همیشه با ملاحظه باشد و چون آن ها جسماً ضعیف تر هستند و در فیض زندگی با شما سهیم و شریک می باشند، با عزت و احترام با آن ها رفتار کنید، مبادا دعاهای شما مستجاب نشود.

رنج و زحمت به خاطر مسیح

۸خلاصه ای برادران، یک فکر و یک دل باشید. یکدیگر را مثل برادر دوست بدارید و مهربان و فروتن باشید. ۹بدی را با بدی و لعنت را با لعنت جواب ندهید، بلکه به جای لعنت برکت بطلبید، زیرا خدا شما را دعوت کرده است تا برکت نصیب تان گردد. ۱۰زیرا نوشته شده است:

«هرکه بخواهد زندگی خوب و روزهای خوشی داشته باشد، دهان خود را از حرفهای زشت و لبان خود را از دروغ نگهدارد.

۱۱بدی را ترک کرده نیکی کند و صلح و صفا را جسته و آن را دنبال نماید.

۱۲زیرا چشمان خداوند بر عادلان است، و گوشهای او آماده شنیدن دعاهای آن ها، اما از بدکاران روی گردان است.»

۱۳پس اگر شما به انجام آنچه نیکوست علاقه دارید، چه کسی به شما آسیبی خواهد رسانید؟ ۱۴اما اگر به خاطر عدالت رنج می بینید، خوشا به حال شما! از تهدیدات مردم نترسید و تشویش نکنید. ۱۵اما ترس مسیح در دلهای شما باشد و او را خداوند خود بدانید و اگر کسی علت امید شما را می پرسد، همیشه آمادۀ جواب باشید. ۱۶البته با ملایمت و احترام. وجدان شما همیشه پاک باشد تا حتی اگر به شما بی حرمتی شود، کسانی که از رفتار نیک مسیحایی شما بد می گویند، از گفتۀ خود شرمنده گردند. ۱۷زیرا اگر خواست خدا براین است که شما زحمت ببینید، بهتر است که به خاطر نیکوکاری باشد، نه برای بدکاری. ۱۸مثلاً خود مسیح یکبار برای همیشه به خاطر گناه شما مُرد، یعنی یک شخص بی گناه در راه گناهکاران مُرد تا ما را به حضور خدا بیاورد. او از لحاظ جسم کشته شد اما از لحاظ روح به زندگی خود ادامه داد ۱۹و در روح به نزد ارواح محبوس رفت و به آن ها وعظ کرد. ۲۰اینها همان کسانی بودند که در آن وقت که نوح به ساختن کشتی مشغول بود و خدا با صبر و حوصله انتظار می کشید، اطاعت نکردند. عده ای کم، یعنی هشت نفر از آب گذشته نجات یافتند. ۲۱این آب نمونۀ تعمیدی است که اکنون شما را نجات می بخشد. منظور من شستشوی کثافات بدنی نیست، بلکه بیان کنندۀ آرزوی وجدان پاکی است که شوق به دیدن خدا دارد و به وسیلۀ رستاخیز مسیح نجات می یابد. ۲۲او به عالم بالا رفت و در دست راست خداست و تمام فرشتگان و قوتها و قدرت های آسمانی تحت فرمان او هستند.

Children Taking Cues From Each Other

Children Taking Cues From Each Other (Play and Song for Children)
Children's imitation of each other and those around them (especially parents and peers) is a natural, unconscious and educational process that internalises behaviours, values ​​and social skills through observation and imitation. This behaviour, which results from the activation of mirror neurons, is formed in childhood by imitating the family and in adolescence by being strongly influenced by peers. The first and most important role models are parents. Behaviours such as love, politeness, patience and your daily interactions are directly observed and imitated by the child. As they enter school and older ages, friends become the main role models and their influence for social adaptation increases.

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.

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.
