Genesis 2:24
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they
shall be one flesh.
Exodus 20:14
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Exodus 21:7-11
7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she
shall not go out as the menservants do.
8 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be
redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt
deceitfully with her.
9 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of
daughters.
10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not
diminish.
11 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
Leviticus 20:10
10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth
adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to
death.
Numbers 30:2-5
2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to
bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that
proceedeth out of his mouth.
3 If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father’s
house in her youth;
4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall
hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her
soul shall stand.
5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds
wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father
disallowed her.
Deuteronomy 5:18
18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
Deuteronomy 22:19-29
19 And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of
silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a
virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her
city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play
the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die,
both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
23 If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and
lie with her;
24 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with
stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he
hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then
the man only that lay with her shall die:
26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as
when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:
27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save
her.
28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie
with her, and they be found;
29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of
silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his
days.
Deuteronomy 23:18
18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy
God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy 24:1-4
1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his
eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement,
and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.
3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her
hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his
wife;
4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is
defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which
the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
Proverbs 2:16-22
16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the
stranger which flattereth with her words;
17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of
it.
Proverbs 2:16-17
16 It will save you also from the adulteress, from the
wayward wife with her seductive words,
17 who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. (NIV)
Proverbs 6:23-26
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light;
and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will
hunt for the precious life.
Jeremiah 3:1
1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him,
and become another man’s, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly
polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the
LORD.
Malachi 2:14-16
14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been
witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is
she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might
seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the
wife of his youth.
16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence
with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not
treacherously.
Malachi 2:16
16 “I hate divorce,” says the Lord God of Israel,
“and I hate a man’s covering himself with violence as well as with his garment,”
says the Lord Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith. (NIV)
Matthew 5:31-32
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a
writing of divorcement:
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication,
causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth
adultery.
Matthew 19:3-12
3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to
put away his wife for every cause?
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made
them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and
they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not
man put asunder.
7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her
away?
8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall
marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit
adultery.
10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to
marry.
11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to
whom it is given.
12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are
some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves
eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive
it.
Mark 10:2-12
2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?
tempting him.
3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command
you?
4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he
wrote you this precept.
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry
another, committeth adultery against her.
12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth
adultery.
Luke 16:18
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth
adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth
adultery.
Romans 7:1-3
1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion
over a man as long as he liveth?
2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but
if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an
adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress,
though she be married to another man.
1 Corinthians 7:10-16
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her
husband:
11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not
the husband put away his wife.
12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be
pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her,
let her not leave him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by
the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in
such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man,
whether thou shalt save thy wife?
1 Corinthians 7:27
27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a
wife.
1 Corinthians 7:39
39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is
at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
