Thematic Bible: Should have but one wife


Thematic Bible




But from the beginning of the creation, 'God made them male and female. Therefore a man must leave his father and mother, and he and his wife must become one,' and so they are no longer two but one.

But there is so much immorality that every man had better have a wife of his own, and every woman a husband of her own. The husband must give his wife what is due her, and the wife must do the same by her husband. A wife cannot do as she likes with her own person; it is her husband's; and in the same way a husband cannot do as he likes with his own person; it is his wife's.
