(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The phrase personal relationship characterises some sort of connection between two or more people; or possibly between a person and an animal.
It includes:
A friend of a friend of someone may well be a friend of him or her, there is some transitivity. However, if two people have a sexual relationship with the same person, they may well be competitors rather than friends. Accordingly, sexual behavior with the sexual partner of a friend may well damage the friendship.
- Marriage, civil union
- A loving relationship or romantic relationship with or without living together; the other person is called lover, boyfriend or girlfriend (not to be confused with "just" a male or female friend) or significant other; there is usually sexual behavior, but often in the beginning only limited forms of that. If the partners live together the relationship may be similar to marriage, and the other person may be called husband or wife, and regarded as such in common law. The term sexual relationship may be used, even if it involves more than sexual behavior, if the latter is perceived as the most important distinction from friendship. "Mistress" is a somewhat old fashioned term for a female lover of a man who is married to another woman, or of an unmarried man. She may even be an official mistress (in French maitresse en titre); an example is Madame de Pompadour.
- A sexual relationship in the more literal sense: one that mainly involves sex.
- Friendship
- Acquaintanceship
- Family tie, being relatives, kinship, biological relationship
- Brotherhood and Sisterhood
In a marriage or loving/sexual relationship there is often, but not always, an implicit or explicit agreement that the partners will not have sex with someone else. The extent to which physical intimacy with other people is accepted may vary. For example, a man may accept more physical intimacy between his wife and a female friend of her than if it is a male friend. (See also jealousy.)
The rise of individualism and of psychology may have led to the explosion of concern about one's personal relationships (or, in popular parlance, simply: "relationships"). Modern popular culture expects relationships to exist and to become laden with depth and meaningfulness. Pair-bonded sexual relationships receive particular attention in this context, but sociology recognises many other inter-personal links of greater or less duration and/or significance.

| Cebuano | Ug si Pilato miingon kaniya, "Hari ka ba diay?" Si Jesus mitubag kaniya, "Sumala sa giingon mo, ako hari. Ug alang niini ako nagpakatawo, ug alang niini mianhi ako sa kalibutan aron magapanghimatuod ako sa kamatuoran. Ang tanan sila nga iya sa kamatuoran nagapatalinghug sa akong tingog." |
| Croatian | Nato mu reèe Pilat: "Ti si dakle kralj?" Isus odgovori: "Ti kažeš: ja sam kralj. Ja sam se zato rodio i došao na svijet da svjedoèim za istinu. Tko je god od istine, sluša moj glas." |
| Danish | Da sagde Pilatus til ham: "Du er altså dog en Konge?" Jesus svarede: "Du siger det, jeg er en Konge. Jeg er dertil født og dertil kommen til Verden, at jeg skal vidne om Sandheden. Hver den, som er af Sandheden, hører min Røst." |
| Dutch | Pilatus dan zeide tot Hem: Zijt Gij dan een Koning? Jezus antwoordde: Gij zegt, dat Ik een Koning ben. Hiertoe ben Ik geboren en hiertoe ben Ik in de wereld gekomen, opdat Ik der waarheid getuigenis geven zou. Een iegelijk, die uit de waarheid is, hoort Mijn stem. |
| Finnish | Niin Pilatus sanoi hänelle: "Sinä siis kuitenkin olet kuningas?" Jeesus vastasi: "Sinäpä sen sanot, että minä olen kuningas. Sitä varten minä olen syntynyt ja sitä varten maailmaan tullut, että minä todistaisin totuuden puolesta. Jokainen, joka on totuudesta, kuulee minun ääneni." |
| French | Pilate lui dit: Tu es donc roi? Jésus répondit: Tu le dis, je suis roi. Je suis né et je suis venu dans le monde pour rendre témoignage à la vérité. Quiconque est de la vérité écoute ma voix. |
| German | Da sprach Pilatus zu ihm: So bist du dennoch ein König? Jesus antwortete: Du sagst es, ich bin ein König. Ich bin dazu geboren und in die Welt gekommen, daß ich für die Wahrheit zeugen soll. Wer aus der Wahrheit ist, der höret meine Stimme. |
| Haitian Creole | Lè sa a, Pilat di li: Si se konsa, ou se wa vre? Jezi reponn li: Se ou ki di li. Wi, se wa mwen ye. Mwen fèt pou m' di verite a jan li ye a. Wi, se pou sa menm mwen vin sou latè. Tout moun ki patizan laverite ap koute vwa mwen. |
| Indonesian-Bahasa Sehari-hari | Maka Pilatus bertanya kepada-Nya, "Kalau begitu, Engkau raja?" Yesus menjawab, "Engkau katakan bahwa Aku ini raja. Aku lahir dan datang ke dunia untuk satu maksud, yaitu memberi kesaksian tentang kebenaran. Orang yang dari kebenaran itu mendengarkan Aku." |
| Indonesian-Terjemahan Lama | Lalu kata Pilatus kepada-Nya, "Engkau seorang rajakah juga?" Maka sahut Yesus, "Benar seperti kata Tuan bahwa Aku ini seorang raja. Itulah sebabnya Aku telah lahir, dan inilah sebabnya Aku telah datang ke dalam dunia ini, supaya Aku menyaksikan kebenaran. Barangsiapa yang gemar akan kebenaran itu, ia mendengar akan suara-Ku." |
| Maori | Na ka mea a Pirato ki a ia, He kingi oti koe? ka whakahokia e Ihu, Kua korerotia mai na e koe he kingi ahau. Ko te mea tenei i whanau ai ahau: na tenei hoki ahau i haere mai ai ki te ao, hei kaiwhakaatu mo te pono. E whakarongo ana ki toku reo n ga tangata katoa o te pono. |
| Norwegian | Pilatus sa da til ham: Så er du dog konge? Jesus svarte: Du sier det; jeg er konge. Jeg er dertil født og dertil kommet til verden at jeg skal vidne for sannheten. Hver den som er av sannheten, hører min røst. |
| Portuguese | Perguntou-lhe, pois, Pilatos: Logo tu és rei? Respondeu Jesus: Tu dizes que eu sou rei. Eu para isso nasci, e para isso vim ao mundo, a fim de dar testemunho da verdade. Todo aquele que é da verdade ouve a minha voz. |
