No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. 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 an escape, so that you can stand up under it.

Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”

He who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

For it is God’s will that you should be holy: You must abstain from sexual immorality; each of you must know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God;

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

You shall not commit adultery.

greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness. All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”

Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. . . .

Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say?

But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Like a lily among the thorns is my darling among the maidens.

Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God— the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith. . . .

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.

If a man is found lying with another man’s wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must surely be put to death.

So He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.

Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman, commits adultery.”

Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life.

But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.
