¹ Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of the scornful mockers. ² But his delight is in the law of Jehovah (YHWH), and on his law he meditates (ponders) (speaks softly with deep thought) (studies) (contemplates) day and night. ³ He is like a tree planted by streams of water. It yields its fruit in season and its leaves do not wither. Whatever he does prospers. ⁴ This is not so for the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. ⁵ Therefore the wicked will not stand (be upright) in the judgment.

It should be holy and without blemish. ²⁸ In this way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his own wife loves himself. ²⁹ No man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ also does the congregation. ³⁰ And we are members of his body! ³¹ For this reason a man will leave his father and mother, and will stick (adhere) (cleave) (be joined) to his wife. The two will become one flesh. ³² This secret is great! I speak with regard to Christ and of the congregation. ³³ Each one of you should love his own wife even as himself. The wife should respect her husband.
