4May marriage be honorable in every way, and may the marriage bed be immaculate. For God will judge fornicators and adulterers.
13Whoever hides his crimes will not be guided. But whoever will have confessed and abandoned them shall overtake mercy.
32But I say to you, that anyone who will have dismissed his wife, except in the case of fornication, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever will have married her who has been dismissed commits adultery.
28But I say to you, that anyone who will have looked at a woman, so as to lust after her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and handed himself over for her,
34Jesus answered them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
10And you have trusted in your malice, and you have said: “There is no one who sees me.” Your wisdom and your knowledge, these have deceived you. And you have said in your heart: “I am, and beside me there is no other.”
16So may you be rescued from the foreign woman, and from the outsider, who softens her speech, 17and who leaves behind the Guide of her youth, 18and who has forgotten the covenant of her God. For her household inclines toward death, and her paths toward Hell. 19All those who enter to her will not return again, nor will they take hold of the paths of life. 20So may you walk in the good way, and keep to the difficult paths of the just. 21For those who are upright shall live upon the earth, and the simple shall continue upon it.
3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not battle according to the flesh. 4For the weapons of our battles are not carnal, yet still they are powerful with God, unto the destruction of fortifications: tearing down every counsel 5and height that extols itself contrary to the wisdom of God, and leading every intellect into the captivity of obedience to Christ,
18Flee from fornication. Every sin whatsoever that a man commits is outside of the body, but whoever fornicates, sins against his own body.
5An open rebuke is better than hidden love.
1Stand firm, and do not be willing to be again held by the yoke of servitude.
1The impious flees, though no one pursues. But the just, like a confident lion, shall be without dread. 2Because of the sins of the land, it has many princes. And because of the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that are said, the life of the leader shall be prolonged. 3A poor man slandering the poor is like a violent rainstorm in advance of a famine. 4Those who abandon the law praise the impious. Those who guard it are inflamed against him. 5Evil men do not intend judgment. But those who inquire after the Lord turn their souls toward all things. 6Better is the pauper walking in his simplicity, than the rich walking in ways of depravity.
6Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
