Scriptures on Sex and Marriage

1 Corinthians 7:4 (NIV)
⁴ The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife.

Ephesians 5:18 (NIV)

Scriptures on Sex and Marriage

Ephesians 5:25-33 (NIV)
²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
²⁶ to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
²⁷ and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
²⁸ In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
²⁹ After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church--
³⁰ for we are members of his body.
³¹ "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."
³² This is a profound mystery--but I am talking about Christ and the church.
³³ However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

 

Scriptures on Sex and Marriage

Colossians 3:19 (NIV)
¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

1 Thessalonians 4:1-7 (NIV)
¹ Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.
² For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
³ It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;
⁴ that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable,
⁵ not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God;
⁶ and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you.
⁷ For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.

Hebrews 13:4 (NIV)
⁴ Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

 

Scriptures on Sex and Marriage

1 Peter 3:1-9 (NIV)
¹ Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives,
² when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.
³ Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.
⁴ Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
⁵ For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands,
⁶ like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
⁷ Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
⁸ Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.
⁹ Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
