Bible verses about "relationship" | Living_Oracles

¹⁶ Do you not know, that to whom you present yourselves servants, by obedience; his servants you are whom you thus obey; whether of sin into death, or of obedience into righteousness?

¹ Become imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ. ² Now I praise you, brethren; because, in all things you remember me, and hold fast the traditions as I delivered them to you. ³ 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. ⁴ Every man who prays, or prophesies, having his head covered, dishonors his head. ⁵ And every woman who prays, or prophesies, with her head uncovered, dishonors her head. Besides, it is one and the same, with being shaved. ⁶ Wherefore, if a woman be not veiled, even let her be shorn: but, if it be shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be veiled. ⁷ Now, man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man. ⁸ Besides the man is not of the woman; but the woman is of the man. ⁹ And, also, the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man. ¹⁰ For this reason, ought the woman to have a vail on her head, on account of the messengers. ¹¹ However, neither is the man, without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord. ¹² Besides, as the woman is from the man, so also, the man is by the woman; but all from God. ¹³ Judge in yourselves, is it decent that a woman pray to God unveiled? ¹⁴ Does not even nature itself teach you that if, indeed, a man have long hair, it is a disgrace to him? ¹⁵ But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given to her for a vail. ¹⁶ However, if any one resolve to be contentious, we have no such custom; neither the congregations of God. ¹⁷ Now, in declaring this, that you come together, not for the better, but for the worse, I do not praise you. ¹⁸ For, first, indeed, I hear, that when you come together in the congregation, there are schisms among you; and I partly believe it. ¹⁹ For there must even be sects among you, that the approved among you may be made manifest. ²⁰ But your coming together into one place, is not to eat the Lord's supper. ²¹ For, in eating it, every one takes first his own supper; and one, indeed, is hungry, and another is filled. ²² What! have you not houses, to eat and to drink in? or, do you despise the congregation of God and put to shame those who have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this, I praise you not. ²³ For I received from the Lord what, also, I delivered to you; that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which we was betrayed, took a loaf; ²⁴ and, having given thanks, he broke it; and said, Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: do this in remembrance of me. ²⁵ In like manner, also, the cup, after he had supped; saying, This cup is the new institution in my blood: do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. ²⁶ For as often as you eat this loaf, and drink this cup, you openly publish the death of the Lord, until he come. ²⁷ So, then, whosoever shall eat this loaf, and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. ²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and then let him eat of the loaf, and drink of the cup. ²⁹ For he who eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body of the Lord. ³⁰ For this cause, many among you are weak and sick, and a considerable number are fallen asleep. ³¹ But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. ³² Yet, when we are judged by the Lord, we are corrected, that we may not be condemned with the world. ³³ Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for each other. ³⁴ And if any one hunger, let him eat at home, that you may not come together for judgment. And the other things I will set in order when I come.

¹⁹ Now, the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these. Fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, ²⁰ sorcery, enmities, strifes, emulations, wraths, brawlings, factions, sects, ²¹ envying, murders, intoxications, revellings, and such like: concerning which I foretell you now, as I also have foretold, that they who practice these things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ For, if any one be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new!

⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor catamites, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor misers, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified, by the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹ Wherefore, brethren, I beseech you, by the tender mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. ² And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind; that you may approve the will of God, which is good, and acceptable, and perfect.

⁵ Now, they who live according to the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; and they who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

¹⁹ What! do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have from God? ²⁰ Besides, you are not your own; for you are bought with a price: therefore, with your body glorify God.

²² Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. ²³ For the husband is head of the wife, even as Christ is head of the congregation; he is the saviour of the body. ²⁴ Therefore, as the congregation is subject to Christ; so, also, let the wives be to their own husbands, in everything. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ, also, loved the congregation, and gave himself for it; ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it with a bath of water, with the word. ²⁷ That he might present it to himself glorious, a congregation not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it might be holy, and without blemish. ²⁸ So ought husbands to love their own wives, as their own bodies: he who loves his own wife, loves himself. ²⁹ For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord the congregation: ³⁰ because we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ For this reason shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall adhere to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh. ³² This is a great mystery; but I speak concerning Christ and the congregation. ³³ Therefore, also, let every one of you in particular, so love his own wife as himself; and let the wife reverence her husband.

¹⁰ For do I now conciliate men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

² Set your affections on things above; not on things upon the earth.
