Marriage

Two becoming one. 11 verses, King James Version.

  • Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
  • Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
  • Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
  • Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
  • Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
  • Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
  • Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
  • Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
  • Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
  • What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
  • Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
