25 *Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and *gave Himself for her,

33 Nevertheless *let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she *respects her husband.

28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

Do Not Grieve the Spirit

25 Therefore, putting away lying, *"Let each one ofyou speak truth with his neighbor," for *we are members of one another.

26 *"Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath, 27 *nor give place to the devil.

29 *Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but *what is good for necessary edification, *that it may impart grace to the hearers.

31 *Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and *evil speaking be put away from you, *with all malice. 32 And *be kind to one another, tenderhearted, *forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."

15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, *choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether *the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or *the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. *But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

4 *Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; *but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

The Christian Home

18 *Wives, submit to your own husbands, *as is fitting in the Lord.

19 *Husbands, love your wives and do not be *bitter toward them.

14 *But above all these things *put on 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.

Character of the New Man

12 Therefore, *as the elect of God, holy and beloved, *put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 *bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also mustdo.

4 *Love suffers long and is *kind; love *does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, *does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 *does not rejoice in iniquity, but *rejoices in the truth; 7 *bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Keep Your Marriage Vows

10 Now to the married I command, yet not I but the *Lord: *A wife is not to depart from her husband. 11 But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.

3 *Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.5 *Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that *Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

3 *Let nothing bedone through selfish ambition or conceit, but *in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 *Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of *others.

15 *See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always *pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for *"love will cover a multitude of sins."

22 *Hewho finds a wife finds a good thing,

And obtains favor from the Lord.
