[of her] who has forsaken the instruction of her youth, and has forgotten the covenant of God.

Yet you said, For what reason? Because the Lord has borne witness between you and the wife of your youth, whom you have forsaken, and yet she was your partner, and the wife of your covenant.

Therefore what God has united together, let not man separate."

For the woman who is under a man has been bound by law to the living husband. But if the husband should die, she is released from the law of the husband.

Now to those who have married I command, yet not I, but the Lord: A wife is not to be separated from her husband--

But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she consents to live with him, let him not divorce her.

For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he that loves his own wife loves himself.

Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
