18 And LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone, I will make a help meet for him.

21 And LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept. And [God] took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in place of it.22 And the rib, which LORD God had taken from the man, he made a woman, and brought her to the man.23 And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cling to his wife, and the two (LXX/NT) shall be one flesh.

24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cling to his wife, and the two (LXX/NT) shall be one flesh.25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cling to his wife, and the two (LXX/NT) shall be one flesh.

22 And the rib, which LORD God had taken from the man, he made a woman, and brought her to the man.23 And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cling to his wife, and the two (LXX/NT) shall be one flesh.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image--after our likeness--and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that27 And God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them.28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moves upo

1 And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from LORD.25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth. For, [she said], God has appointed for me another seed instead of Abel, for Cain killed him.

6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, no man shall separate.

4 And having answered, he said to them, Have ye not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,5 and said, For this reason a man will leave his father and mother behind, and will be bonded with his wife, and the two will be in one flesh?6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, no man shall separate.

5 and said, For this reason a man will leave his father and mother behind, and will be bonded with his wife, and the two will be in one flesh?6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, no man shall separate.

31 And it was said, Whoever may divorce his wife, let him give her a divorce certificate.32 But I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife apart from a matter of fornication, disposes her to commit adultery, and whoever may marry her who has been divorced commits adultery.

27 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shall not commit adultery.28 But I say to you, that every man who looks on a woman to crave her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

4 And they said, Moses permitted to write a document of divorce, and to divorce her.5 But having answered, Jesus said to them, For your hard heart he wrote for you this commandment.6 But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.7 Because of this a man will leave his father and mother behind, and will be bonded with his wife,8 and the two will be in one flesh. So then they are no more two, but one flesh.9 What therefore God has joined together, no man shall separate.

12 And if a woman should divorce her husband, and will be married to another, she commits adultery.

4 Marriage is precious in every way, and the undefiled bed, but God will judge fornicators and adulterers.

25 Husbands, love your own wives even as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it,26 so that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it with the washing of water by the word,

25 Husbands, love your own wives even as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it,26 so that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it with the washing of water by the word,27 so that he might present it to himself, the glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and unblemished.

He who loves his own wife loves himself.29 For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as also Christ the church,30 because we are parts of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.

28 So ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

22 Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord.23 Because a husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church, and himself the savior of the body.24 But as the church is subject to the Christ, so also the wives to their own husbands in everything.

31 Separate from this a man will leave his father and mother behind, and will be bonded with his wife, and the two will be in one flesh.

33 Nevertheless ye also, each one in particular, shall so love his own wife as himself, and the wife that she fear her husband.

33 Nevertheless ye also, each one in particular, shall so love his own wife as himself, and the wife that she fear her husband.

3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or greed, shall not even be named among you as befits the sanctified,

18 Wives, be ye submissive to your own husbands as is proper in Lord.19 Husbands, love the wives and do not be made bitter against them.

14 and above all these things, love, which is the bond of perfection.15 And let the peace of God umpire in your hearts, for which also ye were called in one body, and become thankful.16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing by grace in your hearts to God.17 And all things, anything whatever ye may do in word or in deed, do all in the name of Lord Jesus, expressing thanks to the God and Father through him.

14 and above all these things, love, which is the bond of perfection.

5 Put to death therefore your body-parts on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.

7 Likewise the husbands living together knowledgably, as with a weaker vessel, apportioning worth to the female as also joint-heirs of the grace of life, for your prayers not to be hindered.

14 Thou shall not commit adultery.

17 Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's house. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.

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

3 Let the husband render the goodwill owed to the wife, and likewise also the wife to the husband.4 The wife has not the right of her private body, but the husband, and likewise also the husband has not the right of his private body, but the wife.

3 Let the husband render the goodwill owed to the wife, and likewise also the wife to the husband.4 The wife has not the right of her private body, but the husband, and likewise also the husband has not the right of his private body, but the wife.5 Do not defraud each other except from agreement for a time, so that ye may have time for fasting and prayer. And come together again for the same thing, so that Satan not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I.9 But if they have no self-control they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn.10 And to those who are married, I do not command but the Lord. The wife is not to separate from her husband.11 But even if she separates, she shall remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to leave his wife.

14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified by the husband, then otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

32 But I want you to be without worry. The unmarried man cares for things of the Lord, how he will please the Lord.33 But he who is married cares for things of the world, how he will please his wife.34 And the wife and the virgin are differentiated. The unmarried woman is concerned for the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married is concerned for the things of the world, how s

39 A wife is bound by law as long a time as her husband lives, but also if the husband should sleep, she is free to be married to whom she desires, only in Lord.

1 Now concerning the things of which ye wrote to me. It is good for a man not to touch a woman.2 But because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

18 Flee fornication. Every sin, whatever a man may do, is outside the body, but he who fornicates sins against his own body.19 Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? And ye are not your own,20 for ye were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and your spirit, which is of God.

13 The foods are for the belly and the belly for foods, but God will abolish both this and these things. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.14 And God both raised up the Lord and will raise us up through his power.

9 Or know ye not that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not led astray. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate men, nor homosexuals,10 nor greedy men, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor the slanderous, nor the predatory will inherit the kingdom of God.

4 Love is patient and is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not brag, and is not puffed up.5 It does not behave improperly, does not seek the things of itself, is not made sharp, does not contemplate evil,6 does not rejoice in wrong but rejoices in the truth,7 covers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

13 Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were ye immersed in the name of Paul?14 I thank God that I immersed none of you except Crispus and Gaius,15 lest some man should say that I immersed in my name.16 And I also immersed the household of Stephanas. Besides, I know not whether I immersed any other.17 For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to preach the good-news, not in wisdom of speech lest the cross of Christ would be emptied.

1 Fornication is actually heard among you, and such fornication that is not even named among the Gentiles, for some man to have his father's wife.2 And ye are puffed up and did not rather mourn, so that he who committed this deed might be taken away from the midst of you.

22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from LORD.

14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from LORD.

18 Let thy fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of thy youth:19 a loving hind and a pleasant doe. Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times, and be thou ravished always with her love.

3 For the lips of an interloping woman drop honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil.4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.5 Her feet go down to death. Her steps take hold on Sheol,6 so that she does not find the level path of life. Her ways are unstable, [and] she does not know.7 Now therefore, ye sons, hearken to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.8 Remove thy way far from her, and do not come near the door of her house,9 lest thou give thine honor to others, and thy years to the cruel,

8 Remove thy way far from her, and do not come near the door of her house,9 lest thou give thine honor to others, and thy years to the cruel,10 lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labors [be] in the house of an alien,11 and thou mourn at thy latter end when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,12 and say, How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof.13 Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the assembly and congregation.

19 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 should thou, my son, be ravished with an interloping woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

29 So [is] he who goes in to his neighbor's wife. Whoever touches her shall not be unpunished.

32 He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who would destroy his own soul does it.

32 He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who would destroy his own soul does it.33 Wounds and dishonor he shall get, and his reproach shall not be wiped away.34 For jealousy is a man's fury, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance.35 He will not regard any ransom, nor will he be satisfied, though thou give many gifts.

4 A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, but she who makes ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

9 A man's heart devises his way, but LORD directs his steps.

9 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a contentious woman in a wide house.

10 A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies.

15 And did he not make one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? And why one? He sought a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.16 For I hate putting away, says LORD, the God of Israel, and him who covers his garment with violence, says LORD of hosts. Therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

14 Do not become unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what partnership has righteousness and lawlessness? And what fellowship has light with darkness?

3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification, for you to abstain from fornication,4 for each of you to know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and reverence,5 not in passion of lust, as also the Gentiles who have not known God,

15 See that not any man repays evil for evil to any man, but always pursue the good, both for each other and for all.

10 for fornicators, for homosexuals, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine

2 The overseer therefore must be blameless, the husband of one wife, without wine, serious minded, disciplined, loving strangers, able to teach,12 Let helpers be husbands of one wife, ruling children and their own houses well.

6 if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having believing children, not with an accusation of debauchery or insubordinate.

5 When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out in the army, neither shall he be charged with any business. He shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.

1 When a man takes a wife, and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favor in his eyes, because he has found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her ou

13 If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and dislikes her,14 and charges her with shameful things, and brings up an evil name upon her, and says, I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I did not find in her the tokens of virginity,15 then the father of the damsel, and her mother, shall take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.16 And the damsel's father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he dislikes her.17 And, lo, he has charged her with shameful things, saying, I did not find in thy daughter the tokens of virginity, and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the c

8 the nakedness of thy father's wife. It is thy father's nakedness.20 And thou shall not lay carnally with thy neighbor's wife, to defile thyself with her.

10 And the man who commits adultery with another man's wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.13 And if a man lays with a man, as with a woman, both of them have committed abomination. They shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

7 They shall not take a woman who is a harlot, or profane, neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband, for he is holy to his God.

13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.14 A widow, or one divorced, or a profane woman, a harlot, these he shall not take, but he shall take to wife a virgin of his own people.

6 Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thine arm. For love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as Sheol. The flashes of it are flashes of fire, a most vehement flame.7 Many waters cannot quench love, nor can floods drown it. If a man would give all the substance of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.

7 Many waters cannot quench love, nor can floods drown it. If a man would give all the substance of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.

7 Thou are all fair, my love, and there is no spot in thee.

5 Thy two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a roe, which feed among the lilies.9 Thou have ravished my heart, my sister, [my] bride. Thou have ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.

6 His left hand [is] under my head, and his right hand embraces me.

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for thy love is better than wine.

9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou love all the days of thy life of vanity, which he has given thee under the sun, all thy days of vanity. For that is thy portion in life, and in thy labor in which thou labor under the sun.

9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou love all the days of thy life of vanity, which he has given thee under the sun, all thy days of vanity. For that is thy portion in life, and in thy labor in which thou labor under the sun.

9 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow, but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and has not another to lift him up.11 Again, if two lay together, then they have warmth, but how can one be warm [alone]?12 And if a man prevails against him who is alone, two shall withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

14 Return, O backsliding sons, says LORD, for I am a husband to you. And I will take you, one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion.

2 When LORD spoke at the first by Hosea, LORD said to Hosea, Go, take to thee a wife of whoredom and children of whoredom, for the land commits great whoredom, departing from LORD.

2 Contend with your mother. Contend, for she is not my wife, nor am I her husband. And let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts,

36 Thus says lord LORD: Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness uncovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and because of all the idols of thy abominations, and for the blood of thy sons, that thou gave to them,37 therefore, behold, I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou have taken pleasure, and all those whom thou have loved, with all those whom thou have hated, I will even gather them against thee on every side. And I will uncover th

17 And LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou have done to me? Why did thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no sons. And she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.2 And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, LORD has restrained me from bearing. Go in, I pray thee, to my handmaid. It may be that I will obtain sons by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.3 And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife.

10 And he said, I will certainly return to thee when the season comes round, and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, [and] well stricken in age. It had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I have become old shall I have pleasure, my lord also being old?

9 And Onan knew that the seed would not be his. And it came to pass, when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother.10 And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of LORD, and he killed him also.

24 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. And she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. And LORD loved him,

21 But Abijah grew mighty, and took to himself fourteen wives, and begot twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.

29 This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes aside, and is defiled,30 or when the spirit of jealousy comes upon a man, and he is jealous of his wife. Then he shall set the woman before LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.

1 Sing, O barren, thou who did not bear. Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou who did not travail with child. For more are the sons of the desolate than the sons of the married woman, says LORD.

10 I will greatly rejoice in LORD. My soul shall be joyful in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride

36 And there was Anna, a prophetess, a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (being advanced in many days, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,

8 When thou are invited by any man to wedding festivities, do not sit down in the chief place, lest there may be a more honorable man than thou who was invited by him.

18 Every man who divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery, and every man who marries her who has been divorced from a husband commits adultery.

27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

10 And Jesus, after standing erect, and having seen no man but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those accusers of thee? Did no man condemn thee?11 And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee. Go, and henceforth sin no more.

29 And every man who has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, because of my name, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit eternal life.

24 Teacher, Moses said, If some man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as agents of God in heaven.

19 For from the heart comes forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, FALSE witnessings, revilings.

19 Now the works of the flesh are apparent, which are, adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,20 idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strifes, jealousies, wraths, selfish ambitions, dissentions, factions,21 envyings, murders, intoxications, revelings, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, as I also did forewarn, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of thy house, thy sons like olive plants round about thy table.

2 For the woman under authority to the living husband has been bound by law, but if the husband should die, she has been released from the law of the husband.3 So then, of the living husband, she will be called an adulteress if she becomes to another man, but if the husband should die, she is free from the law, for her not to be an adulteress having become to another man.

20 Nevertheless, I have against thee that thou tolerate thy woman Jezebel. She calls herself a prophetess, and teaches and leads astray my bondmen to fornicate, and to eat idol sacrifices.

21 And they did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

2 Because TRUE and righteous are his judgments, because he has judged the great whore who ruined the earth by her fornication, and he has avenged the blood of his bondmen from her hand.
