4 L’amour use de longanimité; il est plein de bonté; l’amour n’est pas envieux; l’amour ne se vante pas; il ne s’enfle pas d’orgueil;5 il n’agit pas avec inconvenance; il ne cherche pas son propre intérêt; il ne s’irrite pas;6 il n’impute pas le mal; il ne se réjouit pas de l’injustice, mais se réjouit avec la vérité;7 il supporte tout, croit tout, espère tout, endure tout.8 L’amour ne périt jamais. Or y a-t-il des prophéties? elles auront leur fin. Y a-t-il des langues? elles cesseront. Y a-t-il de la connaissance? elle aura sa fin.
1 John 4
18 Il n’y a pas de crainte dans l’amour, mais l’amour parfait chasse la crainte, car la crainte porte avec elle du tourment; et celui qui craint n’est pas consommé dans l’amour.19 Nous, nous l’aimons parce que lui nous a aimés le premier.
1 Peter 4
8 mais, avant toutes choses, ayant entre vous un amour fervent, car l’amour couvre une multitude de péchés;
Colossians 3
14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
Ecclesiastes 4
9 deux valent mieux qu’un; car ils ont un bon salaire de leur travail.10 Car, s’ils tombent, l’un relèvera son compagnon; mais malheur à celui qui est seul, et qui tombe, et qui n’a pas de second pour le relever!11 De même, si l’on couche à deux, on a de la chaleur; mais celui qui est seul, comment aura-t-il chaud?12 Et si quelqu’un a le dessus sur un seul, les deux lui tiendront tête; et la corde triple ne se rompt pas vite.
Ephesians 5
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,30 because we are members of his body.31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Genesis 2
18 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”19 Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him.21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh.22 And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.23 Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Matthew 19
4 Et lui, répondant, leur dit: N’avez-vous pas lu que celui qui les a faits, dès le commencement les a faits mâle et femelle,5 et qu’il dit: “C’est pourquoi, l’homme laissera son père et sa mère et sera uni à sa femme; et les deux seront une seule chair?6 Ainsi, ils ne sont plus deux, mais une seule chair. Ce donc que Dieu a uni, que l’homme ne le sépare pas.
Proverbs 18
22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.
Song of Songs 8
6 Mets-moi comme un cachet sur ton coeur, comme un cachet sur ton bras; car l’amour est fort comme la mort, la jalousie cruelle comme le shéol; ses ardeurs sont des ardeurs de feu, une flamme de Jah.
