For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

Mark Chapter 10:9

What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

Mark Chapter 10:23

And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

Mark Chapter 10:24

And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

Mark Chapter 10:25

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Mark Chapter 10:26

And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

Mark Chapter 10:27

And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

Mark Chapter 10:28

Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

Mark Chapter 10:29

And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

Mark Chapter 10:32

And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,

Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:

And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

Mark Chapter 10:40

But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.

Mark Chapter 10:41

And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.

Mark Chapter 10:42

Mark Chapter 10:43

But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:

Mark Chapter 10:44

And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

John Chapter 16:13

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Romans Chapter 7:1

Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

Romans Chapter 7:2

For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

Romans Chapter 7:3

So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:1

Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:2

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

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:3

Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:4

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.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:5

Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:6

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

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:7

For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:8

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

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:9

But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:10

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

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:11

But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:12

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.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:13

And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:14

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.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:15

But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:16

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

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:17

But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:18

Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:19

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:20

Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:21

Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:22

For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:23

Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:24

Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:25

Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:26

I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:27

Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:28

But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:29

But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:30

And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:31

And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:32

But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:33

But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:34

There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:35

And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:36

But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:37

Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:38

So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:39

The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:40

But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:1

Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

1 Timothy Chapter 5:2

The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:3

Honour widows that are widows indeed.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:4

But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:5

Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:6

But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:7

And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:8

But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:9

Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,

1 Timothy Chapter 5:10

Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:11

But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

1 Timothy Chapter 5:12

Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:13

And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:14

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

1 Timothy Chapter 5:15

For some are already turned aside after Satan.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:16

If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:17

Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:18

For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:19

Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:20

Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:21

I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:22

Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:23

Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:24

Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

1 Timothy Chapter 5:25

Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

James Chapter 1:27

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
