رسالۀ پولُس رسول به اِفِسُسیان

فصل پنجم

زندگی در نور

۱پس همچون فرزندانِ عزیز، از خدا سرمشق بگیرید. ۲از روی محبت زندگی کنید و از محبتی که عیسی مسیح با قربانی خویش در راه ما نشان داد، پیروی کنید. او جان خود را مانند هدیه ای خوشبو تقدیم خدا نمود.

۳و چنانکه شایستۀ مقدسین خداست، در میان شما چیزی دربارۀ زنا و بی عفتی های دیگر و طمع کاری بر زبان نیاید. ۴پسندیده نیست که سخنان رکیک و یا حرفهای بی معنی یا زشت به کار ببرید، بلکه در عوض باید خدا را شکر کنید. ۵خاطر جمع باشید که تمام اشخاص زناکار و بی عفت یا طمع کار (زیرا طمع کاری یک نوع بت پرستی است)، هرگز در پادشاهی مسیح و خدا حصه نخواهند داشت.

۶اجازه ندهید کسی با دلایل بی معنی خود شما را فریب دهد؛ زیرا به علت این چیزها است که غضب خدا بر مردمی که مُطیع او نیستند نازل می شود. ۷پس با چنین اشخاص کاری نداشته باشید. ۸شما زمانی در تاریکی بودید اما اکنون در خداوند، در نور هستید. پس مانند فرزندان نور زندگی کنید. ۹زیرا هر کجا نور باشد همه نوع خوبی و نیکی و حقیقت نیز به وجود می آید. ۱۰تحقیق نمائید که مایۀ خشنودی خداوند چیست. ۱۱در انجام کارهای بی فایدۀ ظلمت شریک نباشید، بلکه ماهیت آن ها را در برابر نور آشکار سازید. ۱۲حتی ذکر کارهایی که آن ها در پنهانی انجام می دهند مایۀ رسوایی است. ۱۳اما هرگاه چیزی در پیش نور قرار گیرد، کاملاً روشن می شود ۱۴و هرچه کاملاً روشن شود مانند نور آشکار است. به آن سبب است که می گویند:

«ای که در خوابی، بیدار شو، از میان مردگان برخیز و مسیح بر تو خواهد درخشید.»

۱۵پس شما دقت کنید که چگونه زندگی می کنید، مثل اشخاص دانا زندگی کنید، نه مانند نادانان. ۱۶از هر فرصتی که برای شما روی می آورد به بهترین نحو استفاده کنید زیرا این ایام، ایام بدی است. ۱۷پس نادان نباشید، بلکه بفهمید که ارادۀ خداوند چیست.

۱۸مست شراب نشوید، زیرا شراب شما را به سوی کارهای زشت می کشاند. بلکه از روح القدس پُر شوید. ۱۹با استفاده از مزامیر، ستایش و سرودهای روحانی با یکدیگر صحبت کنید و با تمام دل برای خداوند بسرائید و آهنگ بسازید. ۲۰به نام خداوند ما عیسی مسیح همیشه برای همه چیز سپاسگزار خدای پدر باشید.

روابط زنان و شوهران

۲۱به خاطر احترامی که به مسیح دارید، مُطیع یکدیگر باشید. ۲۲ای زنها، طوری از شوهران خود اطاعت کنید که از خداوند اطاعت می کنید، ۲۳زیرا همان طوری که مسیح سَر کلیسا یعنی بدن خود می باشد و شخصاً نجات دهندۀ آن است، شوهر نیز سر خانم خود می باشد. ۲۴و چنانکه کلیسا مُطیع مسیح است، زنان نیز در هر مورد باید از شوهران خود اطاعت کنند.

۲۵ای شوهران، چنانکه مسیح کلیسا را دوست داشت و جان خود را برای آن داد، شما نیز زنان خود را دوست بدارید. ۲۶مسیح چنین کرد تا کلیسا را با آب و کلام شسته و آن را پاک و مقدس گرداند ۲۷و کلیسا را با تمام زیبایی اش پاک و بدون عیب و لکه و چین خوردگی یا هر نقص دیگری به خود تقدیم نماید. ۲۸مردان باید همان طوری که بدن خود را دوست دارند زنان خود را دوست داشته باشند، زیرا مردی که زن خود را دوست می دارد، خود را دوست دارد. ۲۹هیچ کس هرگز از بدن خود نفرت نداشته است، بلکه به آن غذا می دهد و از آن توجه می کند ـ یعنی همان کاری که مسیح برای کلیسا می کند ـ ۳۰زیرا ما اعضای بدن او هستیم. ۳۱به این جهت کلام خدا می فرماید: «مرد، پدر و مادر خود را ترک می کند و به زن خود می پیوندد و آن دو، یک تن خواهند شد.» ۳۲یک حقیقت بزرگ در این امر نهفته شده است و به نظر من به مسیح و به کلیسای او اشاره می کند. ۳۳به هر حال هر شوهری باید زن خود را مانند خود دوست بدارد و هر زنی نیز باید شوهر خود را محترم بشمارد.

The Fifth Part - the Birth of the Church at Pentecost (Peace and Joy in Christ)
What did the event of Pentecost mean to those who were present there? What does it mean for us today?

Do You Want to Enter the Kingdom of God?

Do You Want to Enter the Kingdom of God? (Peace and Joy in Christ)
A follower of Jesus must live a pure life. Therefore, our life and behaviour should be pure and holy. He should avoid rude and impure jokes or rude, insulting and humiliating words. Jokes that humiliate a nation and a tribe or a class of people are not worthy of the lips and tongue of a Christian. Apostle Paul provides us with a list of sins that separate us from God. Let us carefully consider each of these sins of our flesh. Do we see the existence of one or more sins in our life? How quickly we see sin in the lives of others! But what a problem it is to observe sin in our own life! We are always pure and innocent in our opinion. But we should not look at the sins of others. Rather, we should only be aware of our sins. Let's ask the Holy Spirit to make us aware of our hidden sins.

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.

Girls in Black Veils in Society

Girls in Black Veils in Society (With You)
Women and girls shouldn’t wear black veils, darkening their world because of men’s lack of self-control. It is a man’s moral responsibility to have self-control. Men, particularly Taliban or Mujahideen, who claim, “We are fighting in God’s way”, should control their own eyes and ears. They should not give in to their sinful nature when they see a woman’s hair or simply hear the clicking of a lady’s high heels. Human beings are the highest form of God’s creation. We should not be like animals that cannot control themselves when they see the opposite sex.

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.

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.

Women Who Stay Home after Graduating from University (Colour of Life)
The prevailing indoor environment of the community and the deterrence of families have made many educated women prefer home work to the outside. These women, despite having a strong interest in working outside the home, have been forced to stay home. Somayeh Nouri, more than three years old, has graduated from university and, despite her keen interest in work and financial independence, and wants to work outside the home, she has not been allowed to work by her family and has been asked to do so. To be at home and do the housework. This woman expresses her heartache: "When I tell my father, my mother and even my husband I have to work and have to work hard to earn a living and to make a living, they say, 'What do you need for a living?' The woman works out of the house, when you need to work out of the house that doesn't work, now that everything's up to you and you don't need to work out. They are not girls. They either have intellectual problems or they have financial problems and their relatives are relentless families who let them work out. "
