Thematic Bible
Husbands' » Duty of, to wives » To be faithful to them
As a loving hind and a gentle doe, let her breasts ever give you rapture; let your passion at all times be moved by her love.
But you say, For what reason? Because the Lord has been a witness between you and the wife of your early years, to whom you have been untrue, though she is your friend and the wife to whom you have given your word. ... So give thought to your spirit, and let no one be false to the wife of his early years.
Servants » Duties of, to masters » To be faithful to them
And it is right for such servants to be safe persons.
Not taking what is not theirs, but giving clear signs of their good faith, in all things doing credit to the teaching of God our Saviour.
He who is true in a little, is true in much; he who is false in small things, is false in great. If, then, you have not been true in your use of the wealth of this life, who will give into your care the true wealth? And if you have not been true in your care of the property of other people, who will give you that which is yours?
Wives » Duties of, to their husbands » To be faithful to them
But to the married I give orders, though not I but the Lord, that the wife may not go away from her husband
Let the husband give to the wife what is right; and let the wife do the same to the husband. The wife has not power over her body, but the husband; and in the same way the husband has not power over his body, but the wife. Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control.
