⁶ So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don't let man tear apart."

² For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.

⁹ What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."

¹⁷ Who forsakes the friend of her youth, And forgets the covenant of her God:

¹⁴ Yet you say, 'Why?' Because Yahweh has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion, and the wife of your covenant.

¹⁰ But to the married I command--not I, but the Lord--that the wife not leave her husband

¹¹ (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.

¹² But to the rest I--not the Lord--say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.

¹³ The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.

¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now are they holy.

²⁸ Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

⁴ Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
