²⁸ Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

²⁹ For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;

³⁰ because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.

³¹ "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."

²⁶ My flesh and my heart fails, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

¹⁰ Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, And put away evil from your flesh; For youth and the dawn of life are vanity.

⁴ that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

⁵ not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God;

⁶ that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.

¹² Furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

⁵ As you don't know what is the way of the wind, Nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child; Even so you don't know the work of God who does all.

² But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

³ Let the husband render to his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

⁴ 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.

⁵ Don't deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn't tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

¹⁹ Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own,

²⁰ for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

¹⁴ I will give thanks to you, For I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.

¹³ "Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods," but God will bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many.

¹⁵ If the foot would say, "Because I'm not the hand, I'm not part of the body," it is not therefore not part of the body.

¹⁶ If the ear would say, "Because I'm not the eye, I'm not part of the body," it's not therefore not part of the body.

¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?

¹⁸ But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.

¹⁹ If they were all one member, where would the body be?

²⁰ But now they are many members, but one body.

²¹ The eye can't tell the hand, "I have no need for you," or again the head to the feet, "I have no need for you."

¹⁸ Flee sexual immorality! "Every sin that a man does is outside the body," but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

²⁵ Therefore, I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

²⁹ If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

³⁰ If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not your whole body be thrown into Gehenna.

³¹ "It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,'
