1. Husbands, you must love your wives and do not treat them harshly.

2. Husbands, you should also live with your wife in a reasonable manner. Because she is weaker than you and inherits the grace of life with you, you must respect her.

3. However, each of you must love his wife as himself; and the wife must respect her husband.

4. Husbands should treat their wives appropriately, and wives should treat their husbands in the same way.

5. The wife does not have the authority to assert her own body, but the husband does. The husband does not have authority over his own body, but his wife does.

6. Love cannot be extinguished by many waters, nor can it be drowned by floods.

7. My beloved is among women, like a lily among thorns.

8. My beloved is among men, as the apple tree is among the woods. I sat under his shadow with joy and tasted his fruit, and it was sweet to me.

9. He took me into the banquet hall and held love as his banner above me.

10. Love is long-suffering and kind; love is not jealous; love does not boast, is not arrogant, does not do rude things, does not seek its own, is not easily angered, and is not calculating. does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.
