⁵ Have we no right to lead about a wife that is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

⁴² He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter).

¹⁴ And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick of a fever.

¹⁹ But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.

⁷ Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.

¹⁴ These all with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

² The bishop therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

³ forbidding to marry, `and commanding' to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth.

² the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.

⁶ if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly.

⁴ `Let' marriage `be' had in honor among all, and `let' the bed `be' undefiled: for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

³⁹ A wife is bound for so long time as her husband liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

¹⁵ Yet if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such `cases': but God hath called us in peace.

¹² Now this I mean, that each one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos: and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

¹² A garden shut up is my sister, `my' bride; A spring shut up, a fountain sealed.

¹ I am come into my garden, my sister, `my' bride: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends; Drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.

² I was asleep, but my heart waked: It is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, `saying', Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; For my head is filled with dew, My locks with the drops of the night.

⁴⁶ While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.

⁴⁷ And one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking to speak to thee.

⁴⁸ But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

⁴⁹ And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren!

⁵⁰ For whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

⁵⁵ Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?

³⁰ Now Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her:

³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him.

¹⁵ and Matthew and Thomas, and James `the son' of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,

¹² After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and `his' brethren, and his disciples; and there they abode not many days.

¹ I commend unto you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church that is at Cenchreae:

⁹ Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, `my' bride; Thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, With one chain of thy neck.

¹⁰ How fair is thy love, my sister, `my' bride! How much better is thy love than wine! And the fragrance of thine oils than all manner of spices!
