Wifely Duties

Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

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

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
