¹⁷ A friend loves at all times; And a brother is born for adversity.

⁸ But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

¹⁹ 'Honor your father and mother.' And, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'"

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

³³ Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

¹⁷ Iron sharpens iron; So a man sharpens his friend's countenance.

² But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

¹⁴ House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from Yahweh.

¹⁰ Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies.

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

¹⁰ For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn't be a servant of Christ.

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

¹ A good name is more desirable than great riches, And loving favor is better than silver and gold.

¹⁰ For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn't have another to lift him up.

¹² Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

¹⁴ Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?

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

²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

²⁷ that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

²² Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

²⁴ But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.

¹⁸ Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives, and don't be bitter against them.

²⁰ Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.

¹² If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

⁵ Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;

⁶ and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness;

⁷ and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.

⁸ For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
