^19 (A)Husbands, love your wives and do not be ^(B)bitter toward them.

A Word to Husbands

^7 (A)Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, ^(B)as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, ^(C)that your prayers may not be hindered.

²³ And Adam said:

^24 (C)Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and ^(D)be^[c] joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

^21 (A)Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

^25 (A)Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and ^(B)gave Himself for her,

²⁸ So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. ²⁹ For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

^31 (A)Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, ^[a]clamor, and ^(B)evil speaking be put away from you, ^(C)with all malice.

³³ Nevertheless ^(A)let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she ^(B)respects her husband.
