Genesis 2:22-24

Chapter Parallel Compare

22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he
brought her to the man. 23 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." 24 For this reason a man will leave
his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

Ephesians 5:22-33

Chapter Parallel Compare

22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 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. 24 Now as the church
submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands,
love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her
holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,27 and to present her to himself
as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In
this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife
loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as
Christ does the church-- 30 for we are members of his body. 31 "For this reason a man will
leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one
flesh." 32 This is a profound mystery--but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However,
each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her
husband.

Deuteronomy 24:5

Chapter Parallel Compare

5 If a man has recently married, he must not be sent to war or have any other duty laid on him.
For one year he is to be free to stay at home and bring happiness to the wife he has married.

Matthew 19:4-6

Chapter Parallel Compare

4 "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and
female,' 5 and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his
wife, and the two will become one flesh' ? 6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what
God has joined together, let man not separate."

1 Corinthians 7:1-16

Chapter Parallel Compare

1 Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry. 2 But since there is so
much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own
husband. 3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her
husband. 4 The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same
way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. 5 Do not deprive
each other except 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 selfcontrol. 6 I say this as a concession, not as a command. 7 I wish that all men were as I am. But
each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. 8 Now to the
unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. 9 But if they
cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with
passion. 10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate
from her husband. 11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her
husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. 12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If
any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not
divorce her. 13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with
her, she must not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his
wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise
your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. 15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let
him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to
live in peace. 16 How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you
know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

Colossians 3:18-19

Chapter Parallel Compare

18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives and
do not be harsh with them.

Hebrews 13:4-7

Chapter Parallel Compare

4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the
adulterer and all the sexually immoral. 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be
content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake
you." 6 So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man
do to me?" 7 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the
outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.

Mark 10:6-9

Chapter Parallel Compare

Page | 7

6 "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.' 7 'For this reason a man
will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, 8 and the two will become one flesh.'
So they are no longer two, but one. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not
separate."
