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.
26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus;
27 for all of you who have been baptized into Christ, have clothed yourselves with Christ.
28 In Him the distinctions between Jew and Gentile, slave and free man, male and female, disappear; you are all one in Christ Jesus.
6 Thus they are no longer two, but one'! What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.«
9 What, therefore, God has joined together let not man separate.«
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.
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;
14 And over all these put on love, which is the perfect bond of union;
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.
11 Yet, in the Lord, woman is not independent of man nor man independent of woman.
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.
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.
16 Let the teaching concerning Christ remain as a rich treasure in your hearts. In all wisdom teach and admonish one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and sing with grace in your hearts to God.
17 And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, and let it be through Him that you give thanks to God the Father.
25 Married men, love your wives, as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself up to death for her;
14 Do not come into close association with unbelievers, like oxen yoked with asses. For what is there in common between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what partnership has light with darkness?
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.
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.
28 He who has been a thief must steal no more, but, instead of that, should work with his own hands in honest industry, so that he may have something of which he can give the needy a share.
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.
30 And beware of grieving the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you have been sealed in preparation for the day of Redemption.
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.
31 »For this reason a man is to leave his father and his mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall be as one.«
4 Let marriage be held in honour among all, and let the marriage bed be unpolluted; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
