(英語訳)Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
(英語訳)Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good. In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; in honor preferring one another; not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
(英語訳)If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,make my joy full, by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself; each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
(英語訳)Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
(英語訳)”This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

聖書は、夫に対して、次のように教えています。👇
・「夫たる者よ。キリストが教会を愛してそのためにご自身をささげられたように、妻を愛しなさい。」
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;

花嫁に贈る言葉
聖書は次に妻に対して、次のように教えています。👇
・「妻たる者よ。主に仕えるように自分の夫に仕えなさい。」(エペソ人への手紙5:22)
Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
・「妻たる者よ、夫に仕えなさい。それが、主にある者にふさわしいことである。」(コロサイ3:18)
Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word;seeing your pure behavior in fear.Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing;but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious.For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
・「妻を得る者は、良き物を得る、かつ主から恵みを与えられる。」(箴言18:22)
Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh.
