⁴ The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,

⁵ doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,

⁶ rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth;

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

⁸ The love doth never fail; and whether `there be' prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless;

⁶ so that they are no more two, but one flesh; what therefore God did join together, let no man put asunder.'

⁹ what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.'

²⁶ for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,

²⁷ for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ;

²⁸ there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus;

²⁹ and if ye `are' of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise -- heirs.

¹⁵ see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all;

²² `Whoso' hath found a wife hath found good, And bringeth out good-will from Jehovah.

²⁸ so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife -- himself he doth love;

²⁹ for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord -- the assembly,

³⁰ because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones;

³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil-speaking, be put away from you, with all malice,

³² and become one to another kind, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, according as also God in Christ did forgive you.

⁹ The two `are' better than the one, in that they have a good reward by their labour.

¹⁴ and above all these things, `have' love, which is a bond of the perfection,

¹⁵ and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye were called in one body, and become thankful.

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord;

¹⁷ and all, whatever ye may do in word or in work, `do' all things in the name of the Lord Jesus -- giving thanks to the God and Father, through him.

¹⁸ The wives! be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the Lord;

¹⁴ Become not yoked with others -- unbelievers, for what partaking `is there' to righteousness and lawlessness?

¹¹ but neither `is' a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord,

¹⁴ and above all these things, `have' love, which is a bond of the perfection,

³¹ `for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh;'

¹⁵ And He did not make one `only', And He hath the remnant of the Spirit. And what `is' the one `alone'! He is seeking a godly seed. And ye have been watchful over your spirit, And with the wife of thy youth, None doth deal treacherously.

²⁵ The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,

²⁵ Wherefore, putting away the lying, speak truth each with his neighbour, because we are members one of another;

²⁶ be angry and do not sin; let not the sun go down upon your wrath,

²⁷ neither give place to the devil;

²⁸ whoso is stealing let him no more steal, but rather let him labour, working the thing that is good with the hands, that he may have to impart to him having need.

²⁹ Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers;

³⁰ and make not sorrowful the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye were sealed to a day of redemption.

³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil-speaking, be put away from you, with all malice,

³² and become one to another kind, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, according as also God in Christ did forgive you.

⁴ honourable `is' the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled, and whoremongers and adulterers God shall judge.

³ nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves --

⁴ each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others.

⁵ For, let this mind be in you that `is' also in Christ Jesus,
