1 You wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without a word by the behavior of their wives,
2 when they see your chaste and respectful behavior.
22 Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is himself the Savior.
24 As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject to their husbands in everything.
1 Now concerning the matters about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 But because of immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.
3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.
4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
5 Do not deprive one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
33 However, each one of you must also love his wife as himself, and the wife must see that she respects her husband.
7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with honor as the weaker partner, since you are joint heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
10 To the married I give charge, not I but the Lord, that the wife should not separate from her husband
11 (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife.
15 But if the unbelieving partner leaves, let him do so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound. For God has called us to peace.
16 For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
18 Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
27 that he might present the church to himself in all her glory, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and blameless.
28 So husbands ought also to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,
4 And he answered them, »Have you not read that he who made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 and said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?
6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.«
2 For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of her husband.
