نامۀ پولُس رسول به اِفِسُسیان

فصل چهارم

اتحاد ایمانداران در مسیح

۱ بنابر این، من که به خاطر عیسای مسیح زندانی هستم، از شما تقاضا می کنم که زندگی شما شایستۀ مقامی باشد که به آن دعوت شده اید. ۲ همیشه فروتن، ملایم و بردبار باشید و با محبت یکدیگر را تحمل کنید. ۳ با شوق زیاد کوشش کنید اتحادی را که روح مقدس با صلح و سلامتی به وجود می آورد، نگهدارید. ۴ همان طور که یک بدن و یک روح است، خدا هم شما را به یک امید دعوت کرده است. ۵ یک سَروَر، یک ایمان، یک تعمید ۶ و یک خدا که پدر همه و بالاتر از همه می باشد، در همه کار می کند و در همه ساکن است.

۷ اما به هر یک از ما فیض مطابق با خواست مسیح و به شکل تحفه داده شده است. ۸ از این جهت نوشته شده است:

«وقتی به آسمان بالا رفت،

اسارت را در بند کشید

و تحفه ها به مردم بخشید.»

۹ آیا هدف از رفتن به عالم بالا جز این است که اول مُرد و به عالم پایین رفت؟ ۱۰ پس آن کسی که پایین آمد، همان کسی است که بالا رفت، بالاتر از تمام آسمانها تا همۀ عالم را با حضور خود پُر سازد. ۱۱ همین عیسای مسیح چند گروهی را انتخاب کرد که رسولان، پیام رسانان، بشارت دهنده گان، رهبران و معلمان باشند ۱۲ و به این ترتیب ایمانداران را برای کاری که برای خداوند انجام می دهند آماده سازند تا به این وسیله بدن مسیح را تقویت نمایند. ۱۳ در نتیجه همۀ ما به آن وحدتی که در ایمان و شناخت پسر خداست دست می یابیم و به همان اندازه که مسیح کامل است، ما هم انسان کامل می شویم. ۱۴ پس دیگر مانند اطفال نباشیم که با هر موجی به هر طرف پرتاب می شوند و با باد هر تعلیمی که از فریب و نیرنگ مردم بر می خیزد، این طرف و آن طرف می روند و گمراه می شوند. ۱۵ بلکه حقیقت را با روحیۀ محبت بگوییم و در همه بخشهای زندگی در مسیح که سَر کلیسا است، رشد کنیم. ۱۶ به ارادۀ مسیح تمام اعضای مختلف بدن به وسیلۀ مفاصلی که برای آنها فراهم شده، پیوند می شوند. پس وقتی هر یک از اعضای بدن به طور جداگانه منظم کار کند، تمام بدن رشد می کند و خود را در محبت بنا می نماید.

زندگی جدید در مسیح جایگزین طبیعت کهنه

۱۷ پس به نام خداوند این را به تأکید می گویم که شما پس از این نباید مانند قومهای دور از خدا که در افکار بیهوده به سر می برند، رفتار کنید. ۱۸ افکار آنها تاریک شده است. جهالت و سنگدلی در قلبهای شان جا گرفته و آنها را از زندگی یی که خدا به آنها بخشیده است، دور کرده است. ۱۹ آنها شرم خود را از دست داده، خود را تسلیم خودخواهی کرده اند و با اشتیاق تمام به هر کار ناپاک دست می زنند.

۲۰ اما اینها چیزهایی نیست که شما از مسیح یاد گرفتید. ۲۱ اگر واقعاً از مسیح با خبر شده و حقیقتی را که در اوست آموخته باشید، ۲۲ باید از رفتار گذشته دست کشیده و طبیعت کهنه را که پُر از خواهشهای نفسانی بود، از خود دور کنید. ۲۳ در روح و ذهن به طور کامل نو شوید. ۲۴ و طبیعت نو را که در عدالت و پاکی حقیقی به صورت خدا آفریده شده است، بپوشید. ۲۵ بنابر این دروغگویی را ترک کرده و همیشه به یکدیگر راست بگویید، زیرا همۀ ما اعضای یک بدن هستیم. ۲۶ اگر عصبانی شدید، گناه نکنید و نگذارید خشم تان تا غروب آفتاب باقی بماند ۲۷ و به شیطان فُرصت ندهید. ۲۸ دزد دیگر دزدی نکند بلکه با دستهای خود کار آبرومندانه انجام دهد تا چیزی داشته باشد که به نیازمندان بدهد. ۲۹ نگذارید که سخنان زشت از دهان تان بیرون آید بلکه گفتار تان بجا، خوب و سودمند باشد تا باعث برکت شنونده گان گردد. ۳۰ روح مقدسِ خدا را غمگین نسازید، زیرا شما به وسیلۀ او تا روز نجات برای خدا مُهر شده اید. ۳۱ هر نوع کینه، قهر، خشم، چیغ زدن و بدگویی و نفرت را از خود دور کنید. ۳۲ نسبت به یکدیگر مهربان و دلسوز باشید و همان گونه که خدا شما را در مسیح بخشیده است، شما نیز یکدیگر را ببخشید.

Judging Others

Judging Others (Youth)
There is a motel that says: "You should not leave the water without seeing the museum." If you want to avoid and stop judging others, you should know that this behaviour is not the right thing to do; You should not judge someone by their appearance. Usually, narcissistic people or people who do not have enough personality stability, easily point the finger of their hasty judgments at people and judge others wrongly.

The Importance of Humility in the Personal and Social Life of Young People

The Importance of Humility in the Personal and Social Life of Young People (Youth)
The purpose and meaning of humility is not to consider yourself superior to others who are in a lower position in terms of status. Also, humility means a broken ego and a person who does not consider himself higher than others. Humility is like a field where beautiful and fragrant flowers give the gift of brotherhood, affection, magnanimity and purity, and true honour and dignity. It should be noted that the concept of humility is respecting others, not humiliating oneself and going under the burden of humiliation. Be humble and happy; This is the advice of psychologists.

Insulting and Its Consequences in Social Relations

Insulting and Its Consequences in Social Relations (Youth)
As we all know that cursing is a very unpleasant habit, but the number of people who take action to stop cursing and bad mouthing is very limited. Maybe because they consider it a part of their personality and do not see the need to change. Bad mouth can cause annoyance, conflict and even inappropriate aggression. People who use this kind of talk to convey a message usually have internal damaged roots and need to be treated. The harmful effects of bad breath. Swearing in life and social relationships may also lead to depression, psychological problems and despair.

Happy Life in Covenant With God

Happy Life in Covenant With God (Peace and Joy in Christ)
Since time immemorial, people have gone away from God because of sin. Some people can't consciously leave their past, which was full of badness and ugliness, so that there is a change in their life. So how can we remove our old clothes and human nature to wear new clothes. It is impossible to solve family issues, marriage and life without the guidance of the word of God and the Bible. It would be better to listen to this programme.

The Tongue

The Tongue (With You)
An uncontrolled tongue is like a fire under ashes, which has destructive power—like a dormant fire that slowly burns and destroys its surroundings and turns everything into ashes. The tongue has enormous power. A small word can build our family and friends. But if our tongue is not under control, it will tear apart our family and friends. A tongue that is not under control is easily used by Satan.

Why Is the Root of Bitterness So Destructive?

Why Is the Root of Bitterness So Destructive? (Peace and Joy in Christ)
We can grieve the Spirit of God with our lifestyle and bitterness in our lives. The apostle Paul warns us against harsh words and bad behaviour towards others. Instead, forgive others as God has forgiven us in Christ. The purpose of this test was that if a husband is suspicious of his wife, it should be resolved, not ruined. This test showed that the trust between husband and wife has been completely destroyed. There is no life without good and bad, but it is better for us to have a counsellor with God. Let us try to remove bitterness from our lives. Instead, let us give grace to ourselves and others.
