Let the husband give his wife her due, and likewise the wife her husband. The wife is not mistress of her own person,

but her husband is; and in the same way the husband is not master of his own person, but his wife is.

For the unbelieving husband is consecrated through union with his believing wife; and the unbelieving wife, through union with her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unholy, but now they are consecrated to God.

For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

A wife is bound to her husband during his lifetime; but if her husband dies, she is free to marry whomever she will, provided it be in the Lord.

but because there is so much immorality let each man have his own wife; and let each women have her own husband.

But to those already married my commandment is??nd not mine, but the Lord's??hat a wife is not to leave her husband;

(or if she has already left him let her either remain as she is, or be reconciled to him), and also that a husband is not to put away his wife.

And a woman whose husband is not a believer, if he is willing to live with her, let her not separate from him.

But if the unbelieving partner be determined to leave, separation let it be. In such cases the believing husband or wife is not under bondage. But it is into peace that God has called us.

Again, the woman who is widow, or the maid, is anxious about the Lord's business, how she may be pure in body and in mind; but the married woman is anxious about worldly affairs, how she may please her husband.

But I wish you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and of a wife her husband is head; and that God is head of Christ.

but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head (her husband). for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.
