O Marido

18 Keep away from the desires of the flesh. Every sin which a man does is outside of the body; but he who goes after the desires of the flesh does evil to his body.


28 Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:

29 For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;


14 Do not keep company with those who have not faith: for what is there in common between righteousness and evil, or between light and dark?


4 Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride;

5 Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;

6 It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true;

7 Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things.


22 Whoever gets a wife gets a good thing, and has the approval of the Lord.


28 But I say to you that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection with her in his heart.


3 Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself;

4 Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others.


14 And more than all, have love; the only way in which you may be completely joined together.


5 Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control.


4 Let married life be honoured among all of you and not made unclean; for men untrue in married life will be judged by God.


15 Let no one give evil for evil; but ever go after what is good, for one another and for all.


7 And you husbands, give thought to your way of life with your wives, giving honour to the woman who is the feebler vessel, but who has an equal part in the heritage of the grace of life; so that you may not be kept from prayer.


28 Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:


32 But I say to you that everyone who puts away his wife for any other cause but the loss of her virtue, makes her false to her husband; and whoever takes her as his wife after she is put away, is no true husband to her.


6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Then let not that which has been joined by God be parted by man.


9 Have joy with the woman of your love all the days of your foolish life which he gives you under the sun. Because that is your part in life and in your work which you do under the sun.


10 But to the married I give orders, though not I but the Lord, that the wife may not go away from her husband

11 (Or if she goes away from him, let her keep unmarried, or be united to her husband again); and that the husband may not go away from his wife.

12 But to the rest I say, and not the Lord; If a brother has a wife who is not a Christian, and it is her desire to go on living with him, let him not go away from her.


15 Let water from your store and not that of others be your drink, and running water from your fountain.

16 Let not your springs be flowing in the streets, or your streams of water in the open places.

17 Let them be for yourself only, not for other men with you.

18 Let blessing be on your fountain; have joy in the wife of your early years.

19 As a loving hind and a gentle doe, let her breasts ever give you rapture; let your passion at all times be moved by her love.

20 Why let yourself, my son, go out of the way with a strange woman, and take another woman in your arms?


18 Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as is right in the Lord.

19 Husbands, have love for your wives, and be not bitter against them.


25 Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it;


24 For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.


33 But do you, everyone, have love for his wife, even as for himself; and let the wife see that she has respect for her husband.


15 And if it seems evil to you to be the servants of the Lord, make the decision this day whose servants you will be: of the gods whose servants your fathers were across the River, or of the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living: but I and my house will be the servants of the Lord.


3 Let the husband give to the wife what is right; and let the wife do the same to the husband.

4 The wife has not power over her body, but the husband; and in the same way the husband has not power over his body, but the wife.


25 And so, putting away false words, let everyone say what is true to his neighbour: for we are parts one of another.

26 Be angry without doing wrong; let not the sun go down on your wrath;

27 And do not give way to the Evil One.

28 Let him who was a thief be so no longer, but let him do good work with his hands, so that he may have something to give to him who is in need.

29 Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.

30 And do not give grief to the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were marked for the day of salvation.

31 Let all bitter, sharp and angry feeling, and noise, and evil words, be put away from you, with all unkind acts;

32 And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.


19 Husbands, have love for your wives, and be not bitter against them.
