Husbands, love your wives as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it, that he might sanctify it, purifying it with the washing of water with the word, that he might present the church to himself glorious, not having a spot or wrinkle or any thing of the kind, but that it should be holy and blameless. Husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself; for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also the church; for we are members of his body. For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery; but I speak of Christ and the church. But do you also, individually, each one so love his wife as himself, and the wife [see] that she reverences the husband.

Let him that has an ear hear what the Spirit says to the churches; To him that conquers will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my God.
To him that conquers will I give to sit down with me on my throne, as I conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.

AM I not a freeman? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are not you my work in the Lord? If I am not an apostle to others, I certainly am to you; for you are a seal of my apostleship in the Lord. My defense to those who condemn me is this;read more.
Have we not a right to eat and drink? Have we not a right to lead about a sister, a wife, as also the other apostles; and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? Or I only and Barnabas, have we not a right to abstain from labor? Who ever goes on a military expedition at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and eats not the fruit of it? or who feeds a flock and eats not of the milk of the flock? Do I say these things in the manner of men? or does not the law also say the same? For it is written in the law of Moses, You shall not muzzle the ox that threshes. Does God care for oxen? or does he speak entirely for our sakes?

But we have not used this right, but endure all things, that we may not impede the gospel of Christ. Know you not that those who perform sacred rites eat from the temple? Those who wait on the altar partake of the altar? So also the Lord has appointed to those who preach the gospel to live by the gospel.

For if I preach the gospel I have nothing to boast of; for a necessity is laid upon me; for woe is me, if I preach not the gospel. For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if unwillingly, I am intrusted with a stewardship.
Let the elders who rule well be accounted worthy of a double compensation, especially those who labor in word and teaching. For the Scripture says, You shall not muzzle the ox that threshes; and, The laborer is worthy of his reward.
Then Jesus said to him, Get behind me Satan; for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.
And Jesus answered and said to him, It is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him alone shall you serve.
