Treatment Of Spouse

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

but ye also, every one in particular--let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife--that she may reverence the husband.

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,

and become one to another kind, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, according as also God in Christ did forgive you.

<FI> Whoso<Fi> hath found a wife hath found good, And bringeth out good-will from Jehovah.

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

for God did so love the world, that His Son--the only begotten--He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during. — read the full passage →
