who forsakes the guide of her youth and has forgotten the covenant of her God.

Yet you say, For what reason? Because Jehovah has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously; and she is your companion and your wife by covenant.

Therefore what God has yoked together, let not man separate.

For the woman who has a husband is bound by the Law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.

Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to leave her husband.

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

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is 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 who loves his wife loves himself.

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