For the married woman is bound to her husband while he is alive; but if her husband be dead, she is freed from the law of her husband.

The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband.

Therefore if she marry another man while her husband liveth, she will be called an adultress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law, so as to be no adultress, though she marry another man.

Let the husband render the debt to the wife; and in like manner the wife also to the husband.

The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband; and in like manner the husband also hath not power over his own body, but the wife.

For how knowest thou, O wife, but thou mayst save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O husband, but thou mayst save thy wife?

The wife is bound as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to marry whom she will; only in the Lord.

For thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband: in this thou saidst truly.

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

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and yet not willing to make her a publick example, purposed to put her away privily.

And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher: she was of a great age, having lived with an husband seven years from her virginity.

Whosoever putteth away his wife and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adultery.

Jesus saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

And Peter said to her, Why have ye agreed together, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of them that have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

And immediately she fell at his feet and expired; and the young men coming in, found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband.

Yet, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife; and let every woman have her own husband.

The married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband.

But if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband.

And let not the husband put away his wife. To the rest speak I, not the Lord. If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

And the wife, who hath an unbelieving husband, that consenteth to live with her, let her not put him away.

There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit: but the married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy; for 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 forth and cry, thou that travailest not; for the desolate hath many more children than she that hath an husband.

But let every one of you in particular so love his wife as himself: and let the wife reverence her husband.

A bishop therefore must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, prudent, of good behaviour, hospitable, apt to teach;

having been the wife of one husband, Well reported of for good works, if she hath brought up children, if she hath lodged strangers, if she hath washed the feet of the saints, if she hath relieved the afflicted, if she hath diligently followed every good work.

If a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of luxury or unruly.
