Now lets get started. Passage Number 1. The first
verse on the subject of Marriage is Ephesians chapter 5, verses 22 through 33. It says:
Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife,
as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body. But
as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her,
that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously,
not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without defect.
Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own
wife loves himself. For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even
as the Lord also does the assembly, because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.
“For this cause a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife.
Then the two will become one flesh.” This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and the
assembly. Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the
wife see that she respects her husband. Passage Number 2. The second verse in
our study of Marriage is found in Genesis chapter 2, verses 18 through 25. It says:
Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to
him.” Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky,
and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living
creature became its name. The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky,
and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper comparable to him.
Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs,
and closed up the flesh in its place. Yahweh God made a woman from the rib which he had taken
from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of
my flesh. She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of Man.” Therefore a man will leave
his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh. The man and his
wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed. Passage Number 3. For our third verse,
we turn in our Bible to First Corinthians chapter 7, verses 1 through 16. It reads:
Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have
her own husband. Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise
also the wife her husband. The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does.
Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body,
but the wife does. Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you
may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt
you because of your lack of self-control. But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
Yet I wish that all men were like me. However, each man has his own gift from God,
one of this kind, and another of that kind. But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good
for them if they remain even as I am. But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s
better to marry than to burn with passion. But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the
wife not leave her husband (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled
to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife. But to the rest I—not the Lord—say,
if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.
The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not
leave her husband. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving
wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister
is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace. For how do you know, wife,
whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
Passage Number 4. This is from Matthew chapter 19, verses 4 through 12. The scripture says:
He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his
wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’ So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What
therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.” They asked him, “Why then did Moses
command us to give her a certificate of divorce and divorce her?” He said to them, “Moses, because
of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has
not been so. I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries
another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”
His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife,
it is not expedient to marry.” But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but
those to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb,
and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves
eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
Passage Number 5. The fifth verse is from First Corinthians chapter 13,
verses 1 through 8. The Bible says: If I speak with the languages of men
and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all
faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my goods to
feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.
Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave
itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all
things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,
they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there
is knowledge, it will be done away with. Congratulations! You've made it

Now lets continue our study on Marriage. Passage Number 6 is from Colossians chapter 3,
verses 18 through 19. It says: Wives, be in subjection to your husbands,
as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.
Passage Number 7. The seventh verse is found in Revelation chapter 19,
verses 6 through 9. The Bible says: I heard something like the voice of a great
multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying,
“Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns! Let’s rejoice and be exceedingly glad,
and let’s give the glory to him. For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made
herself ready.” It was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen, for the
fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. He said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are
invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb.’” He said to me, “These are true words of God.”
Passage Number 8. The eighth verse on the subject of Marriage is from First Peter chapter 3,
verses 1 through 6. It reads: In the same way, wives, be in subjection to
your own husbands, so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their
wives without a word, seeing your pure behavior in fear. Let your beauty come not from the outward
adorning of braiding your hair, and of wearing gold ornaments or of putting on fine clothing,
but from the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle
and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight. For this is how in the past the holy women
who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands.
So Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are if you do well
and are not put in fear by any terror. Passage Number 9. Our ninth verse is
from Ecclesiastes chapter 4, verses 9 through 12. The passage states:
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls,
and doesn’t have another to lift him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth;
but how can one keep warm alone? If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him;
and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Passage Number 10. Our tenth and final verse
on the subject of Marriage is from Matthew chapter 5, verses 27 through 32. It says:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’ but I tell you that everyone
who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you.
For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish than for your
whole body to be cast into Gehenna. If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw
it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than
for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. “It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife,
let him give her a writing of divorce,’ but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife,
except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when
she is put away commits adultery. This concludes our Bible study on the topic of Marriage.
