4 Love is patient and kind. Love knows neither envy nor jealousy. Love is not forward and self-assertive, nor boastful and conceited.
5 She does not behave unbecomingly, nor seek to aggrandize herself, nor blaze out in passionate anger, nor brood over wrongs.
6 She finds no pleasure in injustice done to others, but joyfully sides with the truth.
7 She knows how to be silent. She is full of trust, full of hope, full of patient endurance.
28 So too married men ought to love their wives as much as they love themselves. He who loves his wife loves himself.
29 For never yet has a man hated his own body. On the contrary he feeds and cherishes it, just as Christ feeds and cherishes the Church;
10 But to those already married my instructions are –yet not mine, but the Lord's– 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 that a husband is not to send away his wife.
26 If angry, beware of sinning. Let not your irritation last until the sun goes down;
27 and do not leave room for the Devil.
18 Married women, be submissive to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19 Married men, be affectionate to your wives, and do not treat them harshly.
25 For this reason, laying aside falsehood, every one of you should speak the truth to his fellow man; for we are, as it were, parts of one another.
6 Thus they are no longer two, but one'! What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.«
25 Married men, love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up to death for her;
33 Yet I insist that among you also, each man is to love his own wife as much as he loves himself, and let a married woman see to it that she treats her husband with respect.
4 Let marriage be held in honour among all, and let the marriage bed be unpolluted; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
14 And over all these put on love, which is the perfect bond of union;
15 and let the peace which Christ gives settle all questionings in your hearts, to which peace indeed you were called as belonging to His one Body; and be thankful.
15 See to it that no one ever repays another with evil for evil; but always seek opportunities of doing good both to one another and to all the world.
3 Let a man pay his wife her due, and let a woman also pay her husband his.
4 A married woman is not mistress of her own person: her husband has certain rights. In the same way a married man is not master of his own person: his wife has certain rights.
5 Do not refuse one another, unless perhaps it is just for a time and by mutual consent, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer and may then associate again; lest the Adversary begin to tempt you because of your deficiency in self-control.
31 Let all bitterness and all passionate feeling, all anger and loud insulting language, be unknown among you–and also every kind of malice.
32 On the contrary learn to be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ has also forgiven you.
12 Clothe yourselves therefore, as God's own people holy and dearly loved, with tender-heartedness, kindness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;
13 bearing with one another and readily forgiving each other, if any one has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, you also must forgive.
3 Do nothing in a spirit of factiousness or of vainglory, but, with true humility, let every one regard the rest as being of more account than himself;
4 each fixing his attention, not simply on his own interests, but on those of others also.
29 Let no unwholesome words ever pass your lips, but let all your words be good for benefiting others according to the need of the moment, so that they may be a means of blessing to the hearers.
8 Above all continue to love one another fervently, for love throws a veil over a multitude of faults.
