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

² For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

⁹ What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

¹⁷ Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

¹⁴ Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.

¹⁰ And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

¹¹ But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

¹² But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

¹³ And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

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

⁴ Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
