For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.

The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus *said to her, “You have correctly said, ‘I have no husband’;

So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man.

The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

(but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife.

And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not send her husband away.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

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

A wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband is dead, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly.”

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

And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.

and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery.”

And there was a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years and had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage,

And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.

“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.

He *said to her, “Go, call your husband and come here.”

Then Peter said to her, “Why is it that you have agreed together to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well.”

And immediately she fell at his feet and breathed her last, and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

But because of immoralities, each man is to have his own wife, and each woman is to have her own husband.

But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband

and his interests are divided. The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

For it is written,
“Rejoice, barren woman who does not bear;
Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor;
For more numerous are the children of the desolate
Than of the one who has a husband.”

For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin.

For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.

Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.
