Turn back, ye sons having turned away, says Jehovah; for I was lord over you: and I took you one from a city and two from a family, and I brought you to Zion.

For thy Lord making thee; Jehovah of armies his name; and he redeeming thee, the Holy One of Israel; the God of the earth shall he be called.

And I betrothed thee to me forever; and I betrothed thee to me in justice and in judgment, and in kindness and in compassions. And I betrothed thee to me in faithfulness, and thou knewest Jehovah.

And Laban will gather together all the men of the place, and will make a drinking.

He finding a wife found good, and shall obtain acceptance from Jehovah.

But for virgins I have not an order of the Lord: and I give an opinion as compassionated by the Lord to be faithful.

Hast thou been loosed from a wife seek thou not a wife. read more.
And if also thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she has not sinned. And such shall have pressure to the flesh: and I spare you. And this I say, brethren, the time is restricted; as to the rest, that they also having wives should be as not having; And they weeping, as not weeping; and they rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and they buying, as not possessing. And they using this world, as not using; for the form of this world passes away. But I will you to be free from care. The unmarried cares for things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord: And he married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife. The wife and virgin have been divided. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she might be holy also in body and spirit: and she married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband. And this I say for the advantage of yourselves; not that I shall cast a net upon you, but for the becoming, and occupied assiduously for the Lord without being turned away. And if any think to act unbecomingly towards his virgin, if she be past the vigor of youth, and so it ought to be, let him do what he will, he sins not; let them marry.

So that he marrying does well; and he not marrying does better.

And if they have not self command, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to be set on fire.

Know ye not brethren, (for I speak to them knowing law,) that law rules over man as much time as he lives? For a married woman is bound by the law to a living husband; and if the husband die, she is left inactive from the law of the husband. Wherefore, the husband living, she shall be called adulteress if she be to another man: but if the man die, she is free from the law; not to be an adulteress, being to another man.

The woman was bound by law for as much time as her husband lives; and if her husband be set to sleep, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. And she is happier if she so remain, according to my opinion: and I also think to have the Spirit of God.

This is a great mystery: but I speak to Christ and to the church.

Saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.

If brethren shall dwell together and one of them died, and a son not to him, the wife of the dead shall not be without to a man a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and he took her to him for a wife, and he acted the husband's brother to her.

And thy house shall be as the house of Pharez which Tamar bare to Judah, from the seed which Jehovah shall give to thee from this maiden.

Husbands, love your own wives, as also Christ loved the church, and delivered himself up for it; That he might consecrate it, having cleansed by the washing of water in the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it be holy and blameless. So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He loving his wife, loves himself. For none at any time hates his own flesh; but brings it up and cherishes it, as also the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this a man shall leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak to Christ and to the church. But ye also altogether, let each so love his own wife as himself: and the wife that she fear her husband.

So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He loving his wife, loves himself. For none at any time hates his own flesh; but brings it up and cherishes it, as also the Lord the church:

And the discerning took oil in their vessels with their lanterns. And the bridegroom delaying, they all slumbered and slept. And in the middle of the night there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go ye forth to his meeting. Then all these virgins were aroused, and put their lanterns in order. And the foolish said to the discerning, Give us of your oil; for our lights are quenched. And the discerning answered, saying, Lest it should not suffice us and you: but go ye rather to those selling, and buy for yourselves. And they, going to buy, the bridegroom came; and they prepared, went in with him to the nuptials; and the door was locked.
