- Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly.
- In the same way, husbands should love their wives as they do their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
- Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, in order to make her holy by cleansing her with the washing of water by the word.
- Wives, be subject to your husbands as you are to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife just as Christ is the head of the church, the body of which he is the Savior.
- You shall not abuse any widow or orphan. If you do abuse them, when they cry out to me, I will surely heed their cry; my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children orphans.
- Husbands, in the same way, show consideration for your wives in your life together, paying honor to the woman as the weaker sex, since they too are also heirs of the gracious gift of life—so that nothing may hinder your prayers.
- And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families.
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people.” Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.”Next verse!With image
