Bible verses about "weddings" | YLT

²¹ subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God. ²² The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord, ²³ because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ is head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body, ²⁴ but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also are the wives to their own husbands in everything. ²⁵ The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it, ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it with the bathing of the water in the saying, ²⁷ that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished; ²⁸ so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife—himself he doth love; ²⁹ for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord—the assembly, ³⁰ because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones; ³¹ `for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be—the two—for one flesh;' ³² this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly; ³³ but ye also, every one in particular—let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife—that she may reverence the husband.

¹³ setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.'

¹ And Jesus answering, again spake to them in similes, saying, ² `The reign of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made marriage-feasts for his son, <sup>3</sup> and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the marriage-feasts, and they were not willing to come. <sup>4</sup> `Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Say to those who have been called: Lo, my dinner I prepared, my oxen and the fatlings have been killed, and all things are ready, come ye to the marriage-feasts; ⁵ and they, having disregarded it, went away, the one to his own field, and the other to his merchandise; ⁶ and the rest, having laid hold on his servants, did insult and slay them . ⁷ `And the king having heard, was wroth, and having sent forth his soldiers, he destroyed those murderers, and their city he set on fire; <sup>8</sup> then saith he to his servants, The marriage-feast indeed is ready, and those called were not worthy, <sup>9</sup> be going, then, on to the cross-ways, and as many as ye may find, call ye to the marriage-feasts. <sup>10</sup> `And those servants, having gone forth to the ways, did gather all, as many as they found, both bad and good, and the marriage-feast apartment was filled with those reclining. ¹¹ `And the king having come in to view those reclining, saw there a man not clothed with clothing of the marriage-feast, <sup>12</sup> and he saith to him, Comrade, how didst thou come in hither, not having clothing of the marriage-feast? and he was speechless. <sup>13</sup> `Then said the king to the ministrants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him up and cast forth to the outer darkness, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth; ¹⁴ for many are called, and few chosen.'

¹ In like manner, the wives, be ye subject to your own husbands, that even if certain are disobedient to the word, through the conversation of the wives, without the word, they may be won, ² having beheld your pure behaviour in fear, ³ whose adorning—let it not be that which is outward, of plaiting of hair, and of putting around of things of gold, or of putting on of garments, ⁴ but—the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible thing of the meek and quiet spirit, which is, before God, of great price, ⁵ for thus once also the holy women who did hope on God, were adorning themselves, being subject to their own husbands, ⁶ as Sarah was obedient to Abraham, calling him `sir,' of whom ye did become daughters, doing good, and not fearing any terror. <sup>7</sup> The husbands, in like manner, dwelling with them, according to knowledge, as to a weaker vessel—to the wife—imparting honour, as also being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.
<sup>8</sup> And finally, being all of one mind, having fellow-feeling, loving as brethren, compassionate, courteous, <sup>9</sup> not giving back evil for evil, or railing for railing, and on the contrary, blessing, having known that to this ye were called, that a blessing ye may inherit; <sup>10</sup> for `he who is willing to love life, and to see good days, let him guard his tongue from evil, and his lips—not to speak guile;

¹⁸ And Jehovah God saith, `Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper—as his counterpart.' <sup>19</sup> And Jehovah God formeth from the ground every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heavens, and bringeth in unto the man, to see what he doth call it; and whatever the man calleth a living creature, that is its name. <sup>20</sup> And the man calleth names to all the cattle, and to fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; and to man hath not been found an helper—as his counterpart.
<sup>21</sup> And Jehovah God causeth a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he sleepeth, and He taketh one of his ribs, and closeth up flesh in its stead. <sup>22</sup> And Jehovah God buildeth up the rib which He hath taken out of the man into a woman, and bringeth her in unto the man; <sup>23</sup> and the man saith, `This is the proper step! bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!' for this it is called Woman, for from a man hath this been taken; ²⁴ therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh. ²⁵ And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
