Marido e Mulher

1 In the same way you wives must be submissive to your own husbands; so that if some of them will not believe the message, they may apart from the message be won over by the behavior of their wives,

2 when they see how pure and reverent you are.

22 Wives likewise to their husbands as to the Lord,

23 because a husband is the head of his wife even as Christ is head of the church, his body, which he saves.

24 But as the church submits itself to Christ, so also wives to their husbands in everything.

10 But to those already married my commandment is - and not mine, but the Lords - that a wife is not to leave her husband;

11 (or if she has already left him let her either remain as she is, or be reconciled to him), and also that a husband is not to put away his wife.

1 Now concerning the question in your letter. It is well for a man to have no intercourse with a woman,

2 but because there is so much immorality let each man have his own wife; and let each women have her own husband.

3 Let the husband give his wife her due, and likewise the wife her husband. The wife is not mistress of her own person,

4 but her husband is; and in the same way the husband is not master of his own person, but his wife is.

5 Do not refuse one another, unless it is only temporary and by mutual consent, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, lest through your lack of self-control Satan begin to tempt you to sin.

7 In the same way you husbands live with your wives, according to knowledge, honoring your wife as of the weaker sex, yet as an heir with yourself of the grace of life; so that your prayers may not be hindered.

15 But if the unbelieving partner be determined to leave, separation let it be. In such cases the believing husband or wife is not under bondage. But it is into peace that God has called us.

16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

33 But as for you individually, you must each one of you love his own wife exactly as if she were yourself; and the wife, on her part, should reverence her husband.

18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting for Christians.

19 Husbands, be loving to your wives, and be not cross or surly with them.

2 For a married woman who has a husband is bound by law to her husband during his lifetime; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her,

26 in order that after cleansing her in the bath of baptism, he might sanctify her by his word,

27 so as to present her to himself, the church glorified, without spot or wrinkle or any such blemish; but on the contrary holy and faultless.

28 That is how husbands ought to love their wives, as they love their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it as Christ does the church;

4 "Have you not read." he answered, "that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said,

5 "For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall be one flesh?

6 "Thus they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
