It is universally reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the nations, so that one should have his father's wife.

but on account of fornications, let each have his own wife, and each woman have her own husband.

Let the husband render her due to the wife, and in like manner the wife to the husband.

The wife has not authority over her own body, but the husband: in like manner also the husband has not authority over his own body, but the wife.

But to the married I enjoin, not I, but the Lord, Let not wife be separated from husband;

(but if also she shall have been separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband;) and let not husband leave wife.

But as to the rest, I say, not the Lord, If any brother have an unbelieving wife, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not leave her.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother; since otherwise indeed your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

For what knowest thou, O wife, if thou shalt save thy husband? or what knowest thou, O husband, if thou shalt save thy wife?

Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; art thou free from a wife? do not seek a wife.

but he that has married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please his wife.

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

A wife is bound for whatever time her husband lives; but if the husband be fallen asleep, she is free to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord.

have we not a right to take round a sister as wife, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
