14 Beside all these, you must have love. This joins everything together as it should be.
15 Hold on to the peace of God which is in your hearts. You were called to have peace because you are all like one body. Be thankful.
6 From the time God first made people, he made them man and woman.
7 That is why a man must leave his father and mother and stay with his wife.
8 The two of them will be like one person. So they are not two people any more, but they are one person.
9 Man must not separate what God has joined together.
25 So stop telling lies. Tell the truth to each other. We all are parts of the same body.
15 Do you not know that your bodies belong to Christ? Shall I take parts of Christ and join them to a bad woman? No, never!
16 Do you not know that the person who joins himself to a bad woman becomes one person with her? The holy writings say, The two people shall be like one body.
17 But the one who joins himself with the Lord becomes one spirit with him.
28 So husbands should love their wives as they love their own bodies. The man who loves his wife loves himself.
29 No one ever hated his own body. But he feeds it and takes care of it.
30 In the same way Christ takes care of the church because we are parts of his body.
31 The holy writings say For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother. He shall be joined to his wife, and the two of them shall be like one person.
32 This is a wonderful plan of God. I am speaking here of the plan about Christ and the church people.
33 However, each one of you should love his wife as he loves himself. And the wife should respect her husband.
4 Jesus answered, Have you not read this? From the time God first made people, he made them a man and a woman.
5 God said, "A man must leave his father and mother and must stay with his wife. The two of them will be like one person."
6 So they are not two people any more, but they are one person. Man must not separate what God has joined together.
