Ephesians 5:21-33

21 Yielding obedience to one another in the fear of God. 22 Women, yield ye obedience to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 But as the church is subjected to Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your own wives, as also Christ loved the church, and delivered himself up for it; 26 That he might consecrate it, having cleansed by the washing of water in the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it be holy and blameless. 28 So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He loving his wife, loves himself. 29 For none at any time hates his own flesh; but brings it up and cherishes it, as also the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this a man shall leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak to Christ and to the church. 33 But ye also altogether, let each so love his own wife as himself: and the wife that she fear her husband.

Mark 7:13

13 Abrogating the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.

Matthew 22:1-14

1 And Jesus, having answered, spake to them in parables, saying, 2 The kingdom of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made a nuptial feast for his son. 3 And he sent his servants to those having been called to the nuptial feast: and they would not come. 4 And again, he sent other servants, saying, Say to the called: Behold, I have prepared my supper; my bulls and stall-fed killed, and all prepared: come to the nuptials. 5 And they, not having heeded, departed, one truly to his own field, and one to his traffic: 6 And the rest, having seized his servants, were insolent, and killed them. 7 And the king, having heard, was angry, and having sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. 8 Then says he to his servants, Truly the nuptial feast is prepared, and those called were not worthy. 9 Go ye, therefore, to the passages of the ways, and as many as ye should find, call to the nuptial feast. 10 And those servants, having come to the ways, gathered together all, as many as they found, also both the evil and good, and the nuptial feast was filled with the reclining. 11 And the king, having come in to behold the reclining, saw there a man not clad with the garment of the wedding: 12 And he says to him, Friend, how camest thou in here, not having a garment of the nuptial feast? And he was muzzled. 13 Then said the king to his servants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him away, and cast ye him into outer darkness; weeping shall be there, and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, and few chosen.

1 Peter 3:1-10

1 Likewise, wives being subject to their own husbands; that also, if any believe not the word, by the turning back of wives might be gained without the word; 2 Having beheld in fear your pure turning back. 3 Whose outside let it not be of the interweaving of hairs, and of putting round of gold, or of putting on of garments, the arrangement; 4 But the hidden man of the heart, in the uncorruptedness of a mild and quiet spirit, which is before God of great price. 5 For so once also the holy women, hoping in God, arranged themselves, being subjected to their own husbands: 6 (As Sara listened to Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye are,) doing good, and not fearing any terror. 7 Men, likewise, dwelling together according to knowledge, as showing honour to the weaker vessel, pertaining to woman, and as co-heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers be not cut off. 8 And finally, all unanimous, suffering together, loving the brethren, having good bowels, an affectionate disposition: 9 Not returning evil for evil, or railing for railing: and on the contrary prayer; knowing that to this were ye called, that ye might inherit praise. 10 For he wishing to love life, and to see good days, let him cause his tongue to cease from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit:

Genesis 2:18-25

18 And Jehovah God will say, It is not good for man to be alone; I will make for him a help as before him. 19 And Jehovah God will form out of the earth every living thing of the field, and all the birds of the heavens, and he will bring in to the man to see what he will call to it; and all which the man will call it to the living soul, that its name. 20 And the man will call the names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every living thing of the field; but to the man was not found a help as before him. 21 And Jehovah God will cause to fall a deep sleep upon the man, and he will sleep; and he will take one of his ribs and will close up the flesh underneath it 22 And Jehovah God will build the rib which he took from the man, into a woman, and will bring her to the man. 23 And the man will say, This is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh; and this shall be called woman, because she was taken from man. 24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother and will cleave to his woman; and they shall be into one flesh. 25 And they two shall be naked, the man and his woman, and they shall not be &shamed.
