² Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

²⁸ So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

³³ Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

⁹ But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

²² Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.
