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

²⁹ For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;

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

⁴ Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,

⁵ doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;

⁶ doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

⁷ bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

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.

²⁶ "Be angry, and don't sin." Don't let the sun go down on your wrath,

²⁷ neither give place to the devil.

²⁸ Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.

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.

²⁵ Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members one of another.

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

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

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

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

³ doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

⁴ each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

⁵ Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

¹⁴ Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.

¹⁵ And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

¹² Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;

¹³ bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.

¹⁴ Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.

¹⁵ See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good, for one another, and for all.

²² Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor of Yahweh.

⁸ And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.

³ Let the husband render to his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

⁴ The wife doesn't have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband doesn't have authority over his own body, but the wife.

⁵ Don't deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn't tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

⁶ But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

³¹ Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice.

³² And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

²⁹ Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
