the woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus replied, you were in the right to say you have no husband:

now a married woman is bound by the law to her living husband: but if her husband dieth, she is released from the marriage-contract.

wherefore she will be reputed an adulteress if she become another man's during her husband's life: but if her husband dies, she is clear from that law, from the imputation of being an adulteress, though she become another man's.

let the husband discharge his obligations to his wife: and likewise the wife to the husband.

the wife has not the right of her own person, but the husband: and so likewise the husband has not the right of his own person, but the wife.

but if she has separated herself, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

for the unbelieving husband is christianiz'd by the believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is christianiz'd by the believing husband: else were your children heathens: whereas they are christians.

for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have, is not your husband: in that you said true.

go, call your husband, said Jesus, and come again.

then Peter said to her, how comes it that you have conspir'd together, to tempt the spirit of the Lord? see there at the door the men that are come from burying thy husband, and they shall carry thee out likewise.

in the instant she fell down dead at his feet: and the young men came in, found her dead, carried her out, and buried her by her husband.

I answer, with regard to the licentious, it is best for a man, to have his wife; and for a woman to have her husband.

as to the married, I enjoin this rule, not as from my self, but from the Lord, that a woman should not leave her husband:

and if a woman has a pagan husband, who likes to live with her, let her not leave him.

O wife, but you may save your husband? or how do you know, O man, but you may save your wife?

there is the same difference between a married woman and a virgin: the last is religiously concern'd to be holy, both in body and mind: but she that is married is taken up with worldly cares to please her husband.

The wife is bound as long as her husband lives: but if her husbnd be dead, she is at liberty to be married, if she pleases; provided it be to a christian.

for I am jealous over you with religious jealousy: since I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

for it is written, "rejoice thou barren, that bearest not; break out into loud acclamations, thou that hast not the travels of childbirth, for more are the children of the desolate, than of her that hath an husband."

Jacob father of Joseph the husband of Mary of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

but Joseph her husband, being a good-natur'd man, and unwilling to expose her to publick shame, he designed to put her away privately.

for the husband presides over his wife, as Christ presides over the church: and he it is that preserves the whole body.

You husband, love your spouse, even as Christ loved the church, and laid down his life for her:

wherefore let every one of you without exception, love his wife even as himself; and let the wife respect her husband.

for I don't allow a woman to be a teacher, nor to dictate to her husband; but let her be silent.

and I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descend from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

and if a woman quits her husband and is married to another, she committeth adultery.

whoever repudiates his wife, and marries another, is an adulterer. and he that marries her, that is repudiated by her husband, is an adulterer.
