Marriage

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;

and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.

“For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.”

So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”

Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.

Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.

Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’

Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.

But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband

For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,

Or don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, “The two”, he says, “will become one flesh.”

The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife.

For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I married you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.

subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.
