²⁸ Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:

²⁹ for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;

³⁰ because we are members of his body.

⁴ Love suffereth long, `and' is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

⁵ doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil;

⁶ rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth;

⁷ beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

⁸ Love never faileth: but whether `there be' prophecies, they shall be done away; whether `there be' tongues, they shall cease; whether `there be' knowledge, it shall be done away.

¹⁰ But unto the married I give charge, `yea' not I, but the Lord, That the wife depart not from her husband

¹¹ (but should she depart, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband); and that the husband leave not his wife.

¹² But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her.

²⁶ Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

²⁷ neither give place to the devil.

²⁸ Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need.

¹⁸ Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

²⁰ Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.

²⁵ Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

⁶ So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;

³³ Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and `let' the wife `see' that she fear her husband.

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

³ `doing' nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself;

⁴ not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

⁵ Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

¹⁴ and above all these things `put on' love, which is the bond of perfectness.

¹⁵ And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful.

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms `and' hymns `and' spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God.

¹² Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;

¹³ forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:

¹⁴ and above all these things `put on' love, which is the bond of perfectness.

¹⁵ See that none render unto any one evil for evil; but always follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all.

²² Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favor of Jehovah.

⁸ above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins:

³ Let the husband render unto the wife her due: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

⁴ The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power over his own body, but the wife.

⁵ Defraud ye not one the other, except it be by consent for a season, that ye may give yourselves unto prayer, and may be together again, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency.

⁶ But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:

³² and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.

²⁹ Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.
