Spousal Abuse

But if the unbeliever leaves, let him go. The believing brother or sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace.

But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her. And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

“For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel. “He who divorces his wife covers his garment with violence,” says the LORD of Hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith.

Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

Drive out the mocker, and conflict will depart; even quarreling and insults will cease.

The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul hates the lover of violence.

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
