If any man take a wife, and go
in unto her, and hate her, And give occasions of speech against her, and bring
up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her,
I found her not a maid: Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother,
take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of
the city in the gate.... But if
this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and
the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she
hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
-- Deuteronomy 22:13
It is better not to marry. But if you must have sex, then get married. It's better to be married than burn forever in
hell.
It is good for a man not to
touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his
own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. -- 1 Corinthians 7:1-2
For I would that all men were even
as I myself.... I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for
them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry:
for it is better to marry than to burn. -- 1 Corinthians 7:7-9
If you're not already married, don't get married. If you have a wife, don't have sex with her. There's not enough time
since Jesus is coming soon.
Art thou bound unto a wife?
seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. -- 1 Corinthians 7:27
But this I say, brethren,
the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though
they had none. -- 1 Corinthians 7:29
