O Marido

18 Flee from fornication: for every sin which a man committeth is without his body; but he who committeth fornication against his own body sinneth.


28 So it becometh husbands to love their wives, as their own bodies. For he who his wife loveth, himself he loveth.

29 For no man ever hated his own body, but nourisheth it, and taketh care of it; so also the Meshiha (taketh care) of the church.


14 And be not sons of the yoke with them who believe not. For what participation hath righteousness with iniquity? Or what commixture hath the light with darkness?


4 LOVE is patient and benign; love envieth not; love is not tumultuous, nor inflated;

5 it acteth not with unseemliness, nor seeketh its own; it is not angry, nor thoughtful of evil;

6 it rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth.

7 It endureth every thing, believeth every thing; it hopeth all, endureth all.


28 But I say to you, that every one who beholdeth a woman so as that he shall desire her, already committeth adultery in his heart.


3 And do nothing in contention or vainglorying, but in meekness of mind let a man consider his neighbour as better than himself.

4 And let no one care for himself (only), but every one for his neighbour also.


14 and with all these charity, which is the girdle of perfection.


5 Defraud not then one the other, unless you both agree for a time, that you may humble yourselves by fasting and by prayer; and return again unto the same will, that Satana may not tempt you on account of the desire of your bodies.


4 Honourable is marriage among all, and their bed is undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers Aloha judgeth.


15 And beware, lest any of you evil render for evil; but always follow after (those things which are) good (pl.) toward one another, and toward every man.


7 AND you, men, dwell likewise with your wives with knowledge, and as feeble vessels in honour hold them; for they also with you inherit the gift of the life of eternity; that you be not hindered in your prayers.


28 So it becometh husbands to love their wives, as their own bodies. For he who his wife loveth, himself he loveth.


32 But I say unto you, that whosoever looseth his wife, except on account of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery; and whosoever taketh her who is sent away, committeth adultery.


6 Wherefore they were not two, but one body. That, therefore, which Aloha hath conjoined, man shall not separate.


10 But those who have wives I command, yet not I, but my Lord, that the wife from her husband separate not.

11 Yet, if she separate, let her remain without a man, or unto her husband be reconciled. And let not a man put away his wife.

12 But to the rest I say, not my Lord, If a brother hath a wife who is not a believer, and she be willing to dwell with him, let him not put her away.


18 WIVES, be subject to your husbands, as it is right in the Meshiha.

19 Men, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.


25 Husbands, love your wives, as also the Meshiha loved his church, and gave himself for her,


33 Nevertheless let every one of you so love his wife as his own self; but let the wife reverence her husband.


3 And let a man render the love that is due unto his wife;

4 so also the wife to her husband. For the wife hath not authority over her body, but the husband; so also the man hath not authority over his body, but his wife.


25 WHEREFORE let lying cease from you, and speak the truth every man with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

26 Be angry and sin not, and let not the sun set upon your wrath,

27 and give no place to the accuser.

28 And let him who hath stolen henceforth steal not, but labour with his hands and do good, that he may have to give to him who needeth.

29 Let no hateful word come out of your mouth, but that which is comely and useful for edification, that it may communicate grace to those who hear.

30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of Aloha, by whom you have been sealed unto the day of redemption.

31 Let all bitterness, and heat, and anger, and clamour, and scandal be taken from you, with all malice;

32 and be gentle one with another, and affectionate, and forgive one another, even as Aloha in the Meshiha hath forgiven us.


19 Men, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
