The Husband

honourable <FI>is<Fi> the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled, and whoremongers and adulterers God shall judge.

the husbands! love your wives, and be not bitter with them;

The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,

The husbands, in like manner, dwelling with <FI>them<Fi> , according to knowledge, as to a weaker vessel--to the wife--imparting honour, as also being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.

In like manner, the wives, be ye subject to your own husbands, that even if certain are disobedient to the word, through the conversation of the wives, without the word, they may be won,

so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife--himself he doth love;

because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ <FI>is<Fi> head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body,

and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband;

for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband;

`And I say to you, that, whoever may put away his wife, if not for whoredom, and may marry another, doth commit adultery; and he who did marry her that hath been put away, doth commit adultery.'

but I--I say to you, that whoever may put away his wife, save for the matter of whoredom, doth make her to commit adultery; and whoever may marry her who hath been put away doth commit adultery.

but I--I say to you, that every one who is looking on a woman to desire her, did already commit adultery with her in his heart.

For <FI>I<Fi> hate sending away, said Jehovah, God of Israel, And He <FI>who<Fi> hath covered violence with his clothing, said Jehovah of Hosts, And ye have been watchful over your spirit, And ye do not deal treacherously.

`When a man doth take a wife, and hath married her, and it hath been, if she doth not find grace in his eyes (for he hath found in her nakedness of anything), and he hath written for her a writing of divorce, and given <FI>it<Fi> into her hand, and sent her out of his house, — read the full passage →

this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly;

but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also <FI>are<Fi> the wives to their own husbands in everything.

The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord,

Become not yoked with others--unbelievers, for what partaking <FI>is there<Fi> to righteousness and lawlessness?

A wife hath been bound by law as long time as her husband may live, and if her husband may sleep, she is free to be married to whom she will--only in the Lord;

And to the rest I speak--not the Lord--if any brother hath a wife unbelieving, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not send her away; — read the full passage →
