¹⁷ A friend loveth at all times; And a brother is born for adversity.

⁸ But if any provideth not for his own, and specially his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

¹⁹ Honor thy father and mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

¹² and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we also `do' toward you;

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.

¹⁷ Iron sharpeneth iron; So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

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

¹⁴ House and riches are an inheritance from fathers; But a prudent wife is from Jehovah.

¹⁰ A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies.

⁹ Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.

¹⁰ For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.

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

¹ A `good' name is rather to be chosen than great riches, `And' loving favor rather than silver and gold.

¹⁰ For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him up.

¹² All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets.

¹⁴ Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness?

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

²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

²⁷ that he might present the church to himself a glorious `church', not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

²² Wives, `be in subjection' unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, `being' himself the saviour of the body.

²⁴ But as the church is subject to Christ, so `let' the wives also `be' to their husbands in everything.

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.

¹² And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

⁵ Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in `your' virtue knowledge;

⁶ and in `your' knowledge self-control; and in `your' self-control patience; and in `your' patience godliness;

⁷ and in `your' godliness brotherly kindness; and in `your' brotherly kindness love.

⁸ For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
