Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.

The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.

Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.

But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband.

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.

If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.

As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word.
