Thus a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is alive; but if the husband dies, she is done with the law of 'the husband.'

Accordingly, she will be termed an adulteress if she becomes another man's while her husband is alive; but if her husband dies, she is freed from the law of 'the husband,' so that she is no adulteress if she becomes another man's.

The woman replied, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You were right in saying, 'I have no husband';

For married people these are my instructions (and they are the Lord's, not mine). A wife is not to separate from her husband ??11 if she has separated, she must either remain single or be reconciled to him ??and a husband must not put away his wife.

and if any wife has a husband who is not a believer, and if he consents to live with her, she must not put her husband away.

O wife, how do you know you may not save your husband? O husband, how do you know you may not save your wife?

The husband must give the wife her conjugal dues, and the wife in the same way must give her husband his;

the wife cannot do as she pleases with her body ??her husband has power, and in the same way the husband cannot do as he pleases with his body ??his wife has power.

you have had five husbands, and he whom you have now espoused is not your husband. That was a true word."

And I saw the holy City, the new Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, all ready like a bride arrayed for her husband.
