'Wife' in the Bible

But while he was contemplating this step, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to bring home your wife Mary, for she is with child through the Holy Spirit.

When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded, and brought home his wife,

"It was also said, 'If any man puts away his wife, let him give her a written notice of divorce.'

But I tell you that every man who puts away his wife except on the ground of unfaithfulness causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries her when so divorced commits adultery.

For Herod had arrested John, and had put him in chains, and imprisoned him, for the sake of Herodias his brother Philip's wife,

and was unable to pay. So his master ordered that he and his wife and children and everything that he had should be sold, and payment be made.

Then came some of the Pharisees to Him to put Him to the proof by the question, "Has a man a right to divorce his wife whenever he chooses?"

and said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall be one'?

And I tell you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery."

"If this is the case with a man in relation to his wife," said the disciples to Him, "it is better not to marry."

Now we had among us seven brothers. The eldest of them married, but died childless, leaving his wife to his brother.

At the Resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? for they all married her."

While he was sitting on the tribunal a message came to him from his wife. "Have nothing to do with that innocent man," she said, "for during the night I have suffered terribly in a dream through him."
