¹⁷ A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

⁸ But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

¹⁹ Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

¹² And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:

³³ Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

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

² Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

¹⁴ House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

¹⁰ Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

⁹ Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

¹⁰ For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

²⁸ So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

¹ A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour 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; for he hath not another to help him up.

¹² Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

¹⁴ Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

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

²⁶ That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

²⁷ That he might present it 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, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

²⁴ Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

¹⁸ Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit 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 unto the Lord.

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

⁵ And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

⁶ And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

⁷ And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

⁸ For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
