Abusive Husbands

Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

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

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Drive out the mocker, and conflict will depart; even quarreling and insults will cease.

But if the unbeliever leaves, let him go. The believing brother or sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her
