Genesis 2:22

A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps.

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies.

A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, but a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones.

Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.

Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin that a man does is outside the body,” but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.”

Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.

I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!”

Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity, for that is your portion in life, and in your labor in which you labor under the sun.

I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. They will never be silent day nor night. You who call on Yahweh, take no rest,

Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon! Make the watch strong! Set the watchmen, and prepare the ambushes; for Yahweh has both purposed and done that which he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.

For man is not from woman, but woman from man;

God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.

Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won’t yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.

If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,

When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

For whoever finds me, finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh.

I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and don’t fear me,” says Yahweh of Armies.

Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

God said, “Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”

Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.

“You shall not commit adultery.

“ ‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, and defile yourself with her.

if like Adam I have covered my transgressions, by hiding my iniquity in my heart,

The watchmen who go about the city found me; “Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”

But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does better.

Have we no right to take along a wife who is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.

For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.

For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;

Let servants be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.

if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.

God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.

When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took some of its fruit, and ate. Then she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too.

Because the midwives feared God, he gave them families.

If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both die, the man who lay with the woman and the woman. So you shall remove the evil from Israel.

So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her.

and give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision.”

Therefore Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand. All Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.

He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.

Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul.

I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

The third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there.

But those who are outside, God judges. “Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.”

Let all that you do be done in love.

For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,

that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor,

that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.

lest there be any sexually immoral person, or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.

but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries;

But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature became its name.

The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort will come to you, to keep them alive.

then she tells me, “Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,”—let her be the woman whom Yahweh has appointed for my master’s son.’

and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Yahweh tells you that Yahweh will make you a house.

Now therefore as Yahweh lives, who has established me, and set me on my father David’s throne, and who has made me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death today.”

He said, “If Yahweh doesn’t help you, where could I get help for you? From of the threshing floor, or from the wine press?”

So they came and called to the city gatekeepers; and they told them, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, not even a man’s voice, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”

Therefore their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops, and like grain blasted before it has grown up.

and from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that Yahweh will build you a house.

Then his wife said to him, “Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die.”

Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.

House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Yahweh.

For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,

I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.

For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
