So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.

So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.

Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.

Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.

Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.

Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.

But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
