歌羅西書 3:19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
你們作丈夫的,要愛你們的妻子,不可苦待他們。
以弗所書 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
因為丈夫是妻子的頭,如同基督是教會的頭;他又是教會全體的救主。
以弗所書 5:25 - 29 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church-
你們作丈夫的,要愛你們的妻子,正如基督愛教會,為教會捨己。 要用水藉著道把教會洗淨,成為聖潔, 可以獻給自己,作個榮耀的教會,毫無玷污、皺紋等類的病,乃是聖潔沒有瑕疵的。 丈夫也當照樣愛妻子,如同愛自己的身子;愛妻子便是愛自己了。 從來沒有人恨惡自己的身子,總是保養顧惜,正像基督待教會一樣,
提摩太前書 3:1 - 7 Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?) He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil's trap.
「人若想要得監督的職分,就是羨慕善工。」這話是可信的。 作監督的,必須無可指責,只作一個婦人的丈夫,有節制,自守,端正,樂意接待遠人,善於教導; 不因酒滋事,不打人,只要溫和,不爭競,不貪財; 好好管理自己的家,使兒女凡事端莊順服(或作:端端莊莊的使兒女順服)。 人若不知道管理自己的家,焉能照管神的教會呢? 初入教的不可作監督,恐怕他自高自大,就落在魔鬼所受的刑罰裡。 監督也必須在教外有好名聲,恐怕被人毀謗,落在魔鬼的網羅裡。
彼得前書 3:1 - 6 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
你們作妻子的要順服自己的丈夫;這樣,若有不信從道理的丈夫,他們雖然不聽道,也可以因妻子的品行被感化過來; 這正是因看見你們有貞潔的品行和敬畏的心。 你們不要以外面的辮頭髮,戴金飾,穿美衣為妝飾, 只要以裡面存著長久溫柔,安靜的心為妝飾;這在神面前是極寶貴的。 因為古時仰賴神的聖潔婦人正是以此為妝飾,順服自己的丈夫, 就如撒拉聽從亞伯拉罕,稱他為主。你們若行善,不因恐嚇而害怕,便是撒拉的女兒了。
以弗所書 5:22 - 23 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
你們作妻子的,當順服自己的丈夫,如同順服主。 因為丈夫是妻子的頭,如同基督是教會的頭;他又是教會全體的救主。
歌羅西書 3:14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
在這一切之外,要存著愛心,愛心就是聯絡全德的。
以弗所書 5:33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
然而,你們各人都當愛妻子,如同愛自己一樣。妻子也當敬重他的丈夫。
彼得前書 3:7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
你們作丈夫的,也要按情理﹝原文作知識﹞和妻子同住;因他比你軟弱,(比你軟弱:原文作是軟弱的器皿)與你一同承受生命之恩的,所以要敬重他。這樣,便叫你們的禱告沒有阻礙。
創世記 2:18 - 24 The Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs2:21Or took part of the man's side and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man." That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
耶和華神說:「那人獨居不好,我要為他造一個配偶幫助他。」 耶和華神用土所造成的野地各樣走獸和空中各樣飛鳥都帶到那人面前,看他叫什麼。那人怎樣叫各樣的活物,那就是他的名字。 那人便給一切牲畜和空中飛鳥、野地走獸都起了名;只是那人沒有遇見配偶幫助他。 耶和華神使他沉睡,他就睡了;於是取下他的一條肋骨,又把肉合起來。 耶和華神就用那人身上所取的肋骨造成一個女人,領他到那人跟前。 那人說:這是我骨中的骨,肉中的肉,可以稱他為「女人」,因為他是從「男人」身上取出來的。 因此,人要離開父母,與妻子連合,二人成為一體。
箴言 18:22 He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.
得著賢妻的,是得著好處,也是蒙了耶和華的恩惠。
傳道書 4:9 - 11 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?
兩個人總比一個人好,因為二人勞碌同得美好的果效。 若是跌倒,這人可以扶起他的同伴;若是孤身跌倒,沒有別人扶起他來,這人就有禍了。 再者,二人同睡就都暖和,一人獨睡怎能暖和呢?
創世記 3:16 To the woman he said, "I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
又對女人說:我必多多加增你懷胎的苦楚;你生產兒女必多受苦楚。你必戀慕你丈夫;你丈夫必管轄你。
雅歌 7:7 - 12 Your stature is like that of the palm, and your breasts like clusters of fruit. I said, "I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit." May your breasts be like clusters of grapes on the vine, the fragrance of your breath like apples, and your mouth like the best wine. She May the wine go straight to my beloved, flowing gently over lips and teeth. I belong to my beloved, and his desire is for me. Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside, let us spend the night in the villages. Let us go early to the vineyards to see if the vines have budded, if their blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates are in bloom- there I will give you my love.
你的身量好像棕樹;你的兩乳如同其上的果子,纍纍下垂。 我說:我要上這棕樹,抓住枝子。願你的兩乳好像葡萄纍纍下垂,你鼻子的氣味香如蘋果; 你的口如上好的酒。(新娘)女子說:為我的良人下咽舒暢,流入睡覺人的嘴中。 我屬我的良人,他也戀慕我。 我的良人,來吧!你我可以往田間去;你我可以在村莊住宿。 我們早晨起來往葡萄園去,看看葡萄發芽開花沒有,石榴放蕊沒有;我在那裡要將我的愛情給你。
約翰福音 14:15 "If you love me, keep my commands.
「你們若愛我,就必遵守我的命令。
哥林多前書 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.
你們要逃避淫行。人所犯的,無論什麼罪,都在身子以外,惟有行淫的,是得罪自己的身子。
哥林多前書 7:3 - 5 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
丈夫當用合宜之分待妻子;妻子待丈夫也要如此。 妻子沒有權柄主張自己的身子,乃在丈夫;丈夫也沒有權柄主張自己的身子,乃在妻子。 夫妻不可彼此虧負,除非兩相情願,暫時分房,為要專心禱告方可;以後仍要同房,免得撒但趁著你們情不自禁,引誘你們。
哥林多前書 13:1 - 8 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
我若能說萬人的方言,並天使的話語,卻沒有愛,我就成了鳴的鑼,響的鈸一般。 我若有先知講道之能,也明白各樣的奧秘,各樣的知識,而且有全備的信,叫我能夠移山,卻沒有愛,我就算不得什麼。 我若將所有的賙濟窮人,又捨己身叫人焚燒,卻沒有愛,仍然與我無益。 愛是恆久忍耐,又有恩慈;愛是不嫉妒;愛是不自誇,不張狂, 不做害羞的事,不求自己的益處,不輕易發怒,不計算人的惡, 不喜歡不義,只喜歡真理; 凡事包容,凡事相信,凡事盼望,凡事忍耐。 愛是永不止息。先知講道之能終必歸於無有;說方言之能終必停止;知識也終必歸於無有。
希伯來書 13:4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
婚姻,人人都當尊重,床也不可污穢;因為苟合行淫的人,神必要審判。
馬太福音 5:28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
只是我告訴你們,凡看見婦女就動淫念的,這人心裡已經與他犯姦淫了。
馬太福音 5:32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
只是我告訴你們,凡休妻的,若不是為淫亂的緣故,就是叫他作淫婦了;人若娶這被休的婦人,也是犯姦淫了。」

你們作妻子的,當順服自己的丈夫,如同順服主。
以弗所書 5:22 - 33 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church- for we are members of his body. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." This is a profound mystery-but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
你們作妻子的,當順服自己的丈夫,如同順服主。 因為丈夫是妻子的頭,如同基督是教會的頭;他又是教會全體的救主。 教會怎樣順服基督,妻子也要怎樣凡事順服丈夫。 你們作丈夫的,要愛你們的妻子,正如基督愛教會,為教會捨己。 要用水藉著道把教會洗淨,成為聖潔, 可以獻給自己,作個榮耀的教會,毫無玷污、皺紋等類的病,乃是聖潔沒有瑕疵的。 丈夫也當照樣愛妻子,如同愛自己的身子;愛妻子便是愛自己了。 從來沒有人恨惡自己的身子,總是保養顧惜,正像基督待教會一樣, 因我們是他身上的肢體(有古卷加:就是他的骨他的肉)。 為這個緣故,人要離開父母,與妻子連合,二人成為一體。 這是極大的奧秘,但我是指著基督和教會說的。 然而,你們各人都當愛妻子,如同愛自己一樣。妻子也當敬重他的丈夫。
以弗所書 5:26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
要用水藉著道把教會洗淨,成為聖潔,
歌羅西書 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
耶穌回答說:「那起初造人的,是造男造女, 並且說:『因此,人要離開父母,與妻子連合,二人成為一體。』這經你們沒有念過嗎? 既然如此,夫妻不再是兩個人,乃是一體的了。所以,神配合的,人不可分開。」
哥林多前書 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

我妹子,我新婦,你奪了我的心。你用眼一看,用你項上的一條金鍊,奪了我的心! 我妹子,我新婦,你的愛情何其美!你的愛情比酒更美!你膏油的香氣勝過一切香品!
羅馬書 12:9 - 18 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
愛人不可虛假;惡要厭惡,善要親近。 愛弟兄,要彼此親熱;恭敬人,要彼此推讓。 殷勤不可懶惰。要心裡火熱,常常服事主。 在指望中要喜樂,在患難中要忍耐,禱告要恆切。 聖徒缺乏要幫補;客要一味的款待。 逼迫你們的,要給他們祝福;只要祝福,不可咒詛。 與喜樂的人要同樂;與哀哭的人要同哭。 要彼此同心;不要志氣高大,倒要俯就卑微的人(人:或作事);不要自以為聰明。 不要以惡報惡;眾人以為美的事要留心去做。 若是能行,總要盡力與眾人和睦。
哥林多前書 7:2 But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband.
但要免淫亂的事,男子當各有自己的妻子;女子也當各有自己的丈夫。

我願意你們知道,基督是各人的頭;男人是女人的頭;神是基督的頭。
以弗所書 5:1 - 33 Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person-such a person is an idolater-has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible-and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said: "Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church- for we are members of his body. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." This is a profound mystery-but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
所以,你們該效法神,好像蒙慈愛的兒女一樣。 也要憑愛心行事,正如基督愛我們,為我們捨了自己,當作馨香的供物和祭物,獻與神。 至於淫亂並一切污穢,或是貪婪,在你們中間連提都不可,方合聖徒的體統。 淫詞、妄語,和戲笑的話都不相宜;總要說感謝的話。 因為你們確實的知道,無論是淫亂的,是污穢的,是有貪心的,在基督和神的國裡都是無分的。有貪心的,就與拜偶像的一樣。 不要被人虛浮的話欺哄;因這些事,神的忿怒必臨到那悖逆之子。 所以,你們不要與他們同夥。 從前你們是暗昧的,但如今在主裡面是光明的,行事為人就當像光明的子女。 光明所結的果子就是一切良善、公義、,誠實。 總要察驗何為主所喜悅的事。 那暗昧無益的事,不要與人同行,倒要責備行這事的人; 因為他們暗中所行的,就是提起來也是可恥的。 凡事受了責備,就被光顯明出來,因為一切能顯明的就是光。 所以主說:你這睡著的人當醒過來,從死裡復活!基督就要光照你了。 你們要謹慎行事,不要像愚昧人,當像智慧人。 要愛惜光陰,因為現今的世代邪惡。 不要作糊塗人,要明白主的旨意如何。 不要醉酒,酒能使人放蕩;乃要被聖靈充滿。 當用詩章、頌詞、靈歌、彼此對說,口唱心和的讚美主。 凡事要奉我們主耶穌基督的名常常感謝父神。 又當存敬畏基督的心,彼此順服。 你們作妻子的,當順服自己的丈夫,如同順服主。 因為丈夫是妻子的頭,如同基督是教會的頭;他又是教會全體的救主。 教會怎樣順服基督,妻子也要怎樣凡事順服丈夫。 你們作丈夫的,要愛你們的妻子,正如基督愛教會,為教會捨己。 要用水藉著道把教會洗淨,成為聖潔, 可以獻給自己,作個榮耀的教會,毫無玷污、皺紋等類的病,乃是聖潔沒有瑕疵的。 丈夫也當照樣愛妻子,如同愛自己的身子;愛妻子便是愛自己了。 從來沒有人恨惡自己的身子,總是保養顧惜,正像基督待教會一樣, 因我們是他身上的肢體(有古卷加:就是他的骨他的肉)。 為這個緣故,人要離開父母,與妻子連合,二人成為一體。 這是極大的奧秘,但我是指著基督和教會說的。 然而,你們各人都當愛妻子,如同愛自己一樣。妻子也當敬重他的丈夫。
