The husband must always give his wife what is due her, and the wife too must do so for her husband.

for a husband is the head of his wife, just as Christ is the Head of the church, His body, and Saviour of it.

You married women, in the same way, must be submissive to your husbands, so that, if any of them do not believe the message, they may be won over without a word through the living of the wives,

To the people already married I give this instruction -- no, not I but the Lord -- that a wife is not to leave her husband.

The wife does not have the right to do as she pleases with her own body; the husband has his right to it. In the same way the husband does not have the right to do as he pleases with his own body; the wife has her right to it.

Now I take up the matters about which you wrote me. It may be good thing for a man to remain unmarried;

each elder must be above reproach, have only one wife, and his children must not be liable to the charge of profligacy or disobedience.

He said to her, "Go and call your husband and come back here."

The disciples said to Him, "If that is a man's relation to his wife, there is no advantage in getting married."

for you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true."

But each one of you married men must love his wife as he loves himself, and the married woman, too, must respect her husband.

For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies, she is freed from the marriage bond.

A married man is concerned about the affairs of the world, and how he can please his wife, and so his devotion is divided.

You married men must love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her,

and a woman who has a husband that is not a believer, but he consents to live with her, must not divorce her husband.

A deacon too must have only one wife, and manage his children and household well.

You married men, in the same way, must live with your wives in an intelligent consideration of them; you must show them deference, too, as the weaker sex, as they share with you the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

The woman answered, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You were right in saying, 'I have no husband,'

A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. If her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she pleases, except that he must be a Christian.

For the unbelieving husband is consecrated by union with his wife and the unbelieving wife by union with her Christian husband, for otherwise your children would be unblessed, but in this way they are consecrated.
