¹⁴ and above all these things `put on' love, which is the bond of perfectness.

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

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms `and' hymns `and' spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God.

¹⁸ Let thy fountain be blessed; And rejoice in the wife of thy youth.

¹⁹ `As' a loving hind and a pleasant doe, Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; And be thou ravished always with her love.

²⁰ For why shouldest thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?

²¹ For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah; And he maketh level all his paths.

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation, Male and female made he them.

⁷ For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife;

⁸ and the two shall become one flesh: so that they are no more two, but one flesh.

⁹ What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

¹⁰ And in the house the disciples asked him again of this matter.

²⁸ Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:

²⁹ for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;

³⁰ because we are members of his body.

³¹ For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.

³² This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.

³³ Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and `let' the wife `see' that she fear her husband.

²⁵ Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

⁴ And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he who made `them' from the beginning made them male and female,

⁵ and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?

⁶ So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

⁷ They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put `her' away?

¹⁵ And did he not make one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? And wherefore one? He sought a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

¹⁵ Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take away the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid.

¹⁶ Or know ye not that he that is joined to a harlot is one body? for, The twain, saith he, shall become one flesh.

¹⁷ But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

¹⁸ Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
