⁶ So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

² For ^(A)the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.

⁹ Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

^4 (A)Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; ^(B)but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

²⁸ So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.

Keep Your Marriage Vows

¹⁰ Now to the married I command, yet not I but the ^(A)Lord: ^(B)A wife is not to depart from her husband. ¹¹ But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.

¹² But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her. ¹³ And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him. ¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise ^(C)your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
