Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may
obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. And Sarai ... gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived.
If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. For a bishop must be blameless.
[It's OK for non-blameless, non-bishops to have several wives.]
Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave
father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh.
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth
her which is put away doth commit adultery.
