16:1 Cap. 14 - Adevarata convertire - un lucru necesar 16:2 Religia asigura fericirea familiei. Religia este pentru o familie o putere minunata. Purtarea atat a sotului fata de sotie, cat si a sotiei fata de sot poate sa faca din viata de camin o pregatire pentru intrarea in familia de sus. 1 16:3 Inimile care sunt umplute cu dragostea lui Hristos nu se pot instraina niciodata prea mult. Religia inseamna dragoste, iar un camin crestin este un loc in care domneste dragostea si exprima prin curtenie si fapte alese o curtoazie amabila. 2 16:4 Este nevoie de religie in camin. Numai aceasta poate preveni relele grozave, care amarasc atat de adesea viata de familie. Doar acolo unde domneste Hristos poate exista dragoste profunda, adevarata, neegoista. Atunci sufletul este aproape de suflet si cele doua vieti se impletesc armonios. Ingerii lui Dumnezeu vor fi musafiri ai caminului, iar prezenta lor va sfinti camera conjugala. Senzualitatea josnica nu-si are locul acolo. Gandurile vor avea in vedere voia lui Dumnezeu si tot spre El va fi indreptat devotamentul inimii. 3 16:5 In caminul in care locuieste Domnul Hristos se va da pe fata un interes sincer si dragoste unul fata de celalalt; nu o dragoste spasmodica, exprimata doar prin mangaieri, ci o iubire profunda si de durata. 4 16:6 Crestinismul - o influenta preponderenta. Crestinismul ar trebui sa aiba o influenta preponderenta asupra relatiei din camin, insa prea adesea se intampla ca motivele care conduc la aceasta unire nu sunt in concordanta cu principiile crestine. Satana cauta continuu sa-si consolideze puterea asupra poporului lui Dumnezeu, determinandu-i pe acestia sa intre in legaturi de casatorie cu supusii sai, iar pentru 16:7 a realiza acest lucru, el se straduieste sa trezeasca pasiuni nesfintite in inima. Insa Domnul a dat, in Cuvantul Sau, o multime de instructiuni poporului Sau - de a nu se uni cu aceia care nu sunt stapaniti de dragostea Lui. 5 16:8 Sfat pentru un cuplu de curand casatorit. Casatoria, o unire pe viata, este un simbol al unirii dintre Hristos si biserica Sa. Spiritul pe care il manifesta Domnul Hristos fata de biserica Sa este spiritul pe care trebuie sa-l manifeste sotul si sotia unul fata de celalalt. Daca ei Il iubesc pe Dumnezeu in cel mai inalt sens, se vor iubi unul pe altul in Domnul, tratandu-se intotdeauna cu amabilitate, fiind atrasi unul de celalalt prin legaturi neschimbatoare. Prin tagaduirea de sine si sacrificiul de sine, manifestate reciproc, ei vor fi o binecuvantare unul pentru celalalt... 16:9 Amandoi trebuie sa fiti convertiti. Nici unul dintre voi nu intelegeti insemnatatea ascultarii de Dumnezeu. Studiati cuvintele: "Cine nu este cu Mine este impotriva Mea si cine nu aduna cu Mine risipeste". Sper sincer sa deveniti amandoi adevarati copii ai lui Dumnezeu, slujitori carora El sa le poata incredinta responsabilitati. Atunci veti avea pace, incredere si credinta. Da, amandoi puteti fi fericiti, crestini consecventi. Agerimea mintii trebuie cultivata astfel ca sa puteti alege intre bine si rau. Faceti din Cuvantul lui Dumnezeu studiul vostru. Domnul Isus doreste ca voi sa fiti mantuiti. Fratele meu, El ti-a purtat de grija in mod minunat, astfel ca viata ta sa fie una folositoare. Fa tot posibilul sa faci cat de multe fapte bune. 16:10 Daca nu aveti dorinte sincere de a deveni copii ai lui Dumnezeu, nu veti intelege in mod clar cum sa va ajutati unul pe celalalt. Dovediti atentie si delicatete unul fata de altul, renuntand la propriile dorinte si scopuri pentru a va face unul pe altul fericiti. Inaintati zilnic in cunoasterea de sine. Zi de zi, puteti invata mai bine sa va consolidati 16:11 punctele slabe din caracter. Domnul Isus va fi lumina, taria, coroana motivelor voastre de bucurie pentru ca I-ati supus Lui vointa voastra... 16:12 Aveti nevoie de harul lui Dumnezeu in inima voastra. Nu doriti o viata de tihna si inactivitate. Toti aceia care sunt implicati in lucrarea lui Dumnezeu trebuie sa fie in mod continuu in garda impotriva iubirii de sine. Candela sa va fie pregatita si sa arda. Atunci nu veti fi nepasatori in privinta cuvintelor si faptelor voastre. Veti fi amandoi fericiti, daca veti incerca sa va faceti pe plac unul altuia. Tineti ferestrele sufletului inchise fata de cele pamantesti si deschise spre ceruri. 16:13 Barbatii si femeile pot atinge un standard inalt doar daca Il recunosc pe Domnul Hristos ca Mantuitorul lor personal. Vegheati si rugati-va, supunand totul lui Dumnezeu. Cunoasterea pentru care va luptati pentru dobandirea vietii vesnice va va intari si mangaia pe amandoi. In gand, cuvant si fapta, voi trebuie sa fiti lumini in lume. Disciplinati-va pe voi insiva in Domnul; pentru ca El v-a incredintat adevaruri sacre, pe care nu le puteti aduce la indeplinire in mod corespunzator fara aceasta disciplina. Crezand in Domnul Isus, nu va veti mantui doar sufletele voastre, ci, prin cuvant si propriul exemplu, veti cauta sa mantuiti si alte suflete. Domnul Hristos sa fie modelul vostru. El sa fie Acela care va poate da putere sa biruiti. Distrugeti cu totul radacinile egoismului. Dati-I slava lui Dumnezeu, caci sunteti copiii Lui. Mariti-L pe Rascumparatorul vostru, iar El va va oferi un loc in Imparatia Sa. 6 16:14 1. Letter 57, 1902. 16:15 2. Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 5, p.335. 16:16 3. Id., p.362. 16:17 4.

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
Multilingual Online Ebooks
