A Wonderful Union Like no Other

 ~MALLARD

Romans 12:9-13


..."Let love be without hypocrisy. 


Abhor what is evil; 


cling to what is good.


Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; 


give preference to one another in honor; 


not lagging behind in diligence, 


fervent in spirit, 


serving the Lord; 


rejoicing in hope, 


persevering in tribulation, 


devoted to prayer, 


contributing to the needs of the saints, 


practicing hospitality."...

Ephesians 5:25-33

..."Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.


So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. 


He who loves his own wife loves himself; for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, because we are members of His body.


For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.


This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.


Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband."

Hebrews 13:4

..."Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge."...
