Ephesians 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. An old author says, "A good wife should be like three things, which three things she should not be like. 1. She should be like a snail, to keep within her own house; but she should not be like the snail, to carry all she has upon her back. 2. She should be like an echo, to speak when spoken to; but she should not be like an echo, always to have the last word. 3. She should be like a town clock, always to keep time and regularity; but she should not be like a town clock, speak so loud that all the town may hear her." Parallel Verses KJV: For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. |
