⁴ Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride;

⁵ Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;

⁶ It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true;

⁷ Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things.

⁸ Though the prophet's word may come to an end, tongues come to nothing, and knowledge have no more value, love has no end.

⁶ So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Then let not that which has been joined by God be parted by man.

⁹ Let not that which has been joined together by God be parted by man.

²⁶ Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁷ For all those of you who were given baptism into Christ did put on Christ.

²⁸ There is no Jew or Greek, servant or free, male or female: because you are all one in Jesus Christ.

²⁹ And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and yours is the heritage by the right of God's undertaking given to Abraham.

¹⁵ Let no one give evil for evil; but ever go after what is good, for one another and for all.

²² Whoever gets a wife gets a good thing, and has the approval of the Lord.

²⁸ Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:

²⁹ For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;

³⁰ Because we are parts of his body.

³¹ Let all bitter, sharp and angry feeling, and noise, and evil words, be put away from you, with all unkind acts;

³² And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.

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

¹⁴ And more than all, have love; the only way in which you may be completely joined together.

¹⁵ And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.

¹⁷ And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him.

¹⁸ Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as is right in the Lord.

¹⁴ Do not keep company with those who have not faith: for what is there in common between righteousness and evil, or between light and dark?

¹¹ But the woman is not separate from the man, and the man is not separate from the woman in the Lord.

¹⁴ And more than all, have love; the only way in which you may be completely joined together.

³¹ For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

¹⁵ ... So give thought to your spirit, and let no one be false to the wife of his early years.

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

²⁵ And so, putting away false words, let everyone say what is true to his neighbour: for we are parts one of another.

²⁶ Be angry without doing wrong; let not the sun go down on your wrath;

²⁷ And do not give way to the Evil One.

²⁸ Let him who was a thief be so no longer, but let him do good work with his hands, so that he may have something to give to him who is in need.

²⁹ Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.

³⁰ And do not give grief to the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were marked for the day of salvation.

³¹ Let all bitter, sharp and angry feeling, and noise, and evil words, be put away from you, with all unkind acts;

³² And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.

⁴ Let married life be honoured among all of you and not made unclean; for men untrue in married life will be judged by God.

³ Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself;

⁴ Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others.

⁵ Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,
