Most Relevant Verses
Let the husband render to the wife that which is due, and likewise, also, the wife to the husband.

Wives, be subject to your own husbands as to the Lord: for the husband is the head of the wife, as the Christ also is the head of the church; and he is the savior of the body. But as the church is subject to the Christ, so, also, let the wives be subject to their own husbands in every thing.read more.
Husbands, love your wives, as the Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it, that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of water through the word, in order that he might present it to himself a glorious church, having neither stain, nor wrinkle, nor any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself; for no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Christ the church: because we are members of his body, being of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh. Great is this mystery; but I speak of Christ and of the church. But yet, let each one of you so love his wife as himself; and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.
Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is wellpleasing to the Lord.
But if any widow has children or grand-children, let them learn first to be dutiful to their own family, and to requite their parents; for that is good and acceptable in the sight of God.
lest there be any lewd person, or profane man, as Esau, who, for a single meal, sold his birthright.
And you fathers, do not provoke your children to anger: but bring them up in the instruction and discipline of the Lord.
But as many as received him, to them he gave the privilege of be coming the children of God, even to those who believe on his name;
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches: To him that overcomes, I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
To him that overcomes, I will give to sit with me in my throne, even as I also have overcome, and have taken my seat with my father in his throne.
Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and that they may go through the gates into the city.
What, then, is my reward? That, while I preach, I may make the gospel of Christ to be without charge, in order that I may not abuse my authority in the gospel.
Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord-? Are you not my work in the Lord? If I am not an apostle to others, yet certainly I am to you; for the seal of my apostleship are you in the Lord. My answer to those who examine me is this:read more.
Have we not the right to eat and drink? Have we not the right to lead about a sister wife, as the other apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? Or, have I only, and Barnabas, no right to leave off working? What man ever serves as a soldier, at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and eats not of its fruit? Or who tends a flock, and eats not of the milk of the flock? Do I speak these things as a man? Or does not the law, also, say the same? For it is written in the law of Moses: You shall not muzzle the ox that treads out the grain? Has God a care for oxen? or does he say it wholly for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, it was written: that he that plows should plow in hope, and that he that thrashes should thrash in hope of partaking. If we have sown, for your benefit, things that are spiritual, is it a great thing that we reap your carnal things? If others partake of this right over you, should not we rather? But we have not used this right: but we endure all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of the Christ. Do you not know that those who are engaged about sacred rites have their living from the temple? and that those who attend upon the altar are partakers with the altar? So, also, the Lord has ordained that those who preach the gospel should live by the gospel. But I have availed myself of none of these things; nor do I write these things that it should be so done to me. For it would be better for me to die, than that any one should make my boasting vain. For though I preach the gospel, I have no cause for boasting; for a necessity is laid upon me; yes, alas for me, if I preach not the gospel. For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if unwillingly, an apostolic stewardship has been intrusted to me.
Let the elders who rule well, be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in word and teaching. For the scripture says: You shall not muzzle the ox that treads out the grain; and, The laborer is worthy of his hire.
Then Jesus said to him: Get behind me, Satan, for it is written: You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.
And Jesus answered and said to him: Get behind me, Satan; it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.
