GEN 2:23 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.

When their message came to him, Joseph wept.
18 His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. "We are
your slaves," they said.
19 But Joseph said to them, "Don't be afraid. Am I in the place of God?
20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish
what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
21 So then, don't be afraid. I will provide for you and your children."
And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.
DEU 4:9 Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not
forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as
long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after
them.
10 Remember the day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, when he
said to me, "Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they
may learn to revere me as long as they live in the land and may teach them
to their children."

whose heart turns away from the LORD our God to go and worship the gods of
those nations; make sure there is no root among you that produces such
bitter poison.
JOS 24:15 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose
for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your
forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose

LORD."

of Saul came out to meet him and said, "How the king of
distinguished himself today, disrobing in the sight of the slave girls of
his servants as any vulgar fellow would!"

JOB 1:5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would send and

offering for each of them, thinking, "Perhaps my children have sinned and
cursed God in their hearts." This was Job's regular custom.

22 Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
JOH 11:1 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from
2 This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who
poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.
3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, "Lord, the one you love is sick."
4 When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death.
No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it."
5 Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
ACT 10:2 He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave

commanded you to tell us."

and your household."

must not separate from her husband.
11:7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of

9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
16:19 The churches in the province of
Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets
at their house.
EPH 5:22 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."

the wife must respect her husband.
1TI 3:2 Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one
wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a
lover of money.
4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him
with proper respect.
5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take
care of God's church?)
12 A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his
children and his household well.
2TI 1:5 I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in
your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now
lives in you also.
1PE 3:1 Wives, in the same way be submissive to your 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,
6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her
daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
