May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A

embrace the bosom of another man's wife? (NIV)

his body. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united
to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." (NIV)

Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be
self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be ubject to
their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. (NIV)
