9 But if they have not power over themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.
4 Marriage is honourable in all men, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
A esposa prudente vem do Senhor
Deus criou o homem e a mulher para completarem-se. A casa e os bens são herança dos pais, mas a esposa prudente vem do Senhor.
14 And above all these put on love, which is the bond of perfection:
