Manne, julle moet jul eie vroue liefhê, soos Christus ook die gemeente liefgehad en Homself daarvoor oorgegee het om dit te heilig,… Daarom moet die man sy vader en sy moeder verlaat en sy vrou aankleef en hulle twee sal een vlees word. Hierdie verborgenheid is groot, maar ek sê dit met die oog op Christus en die gemeente. In alle geval moet elkeen van julle ook afsonderlik sy eie vrou liefhê net soos homself, en die vrou moet die man eerbiedig. (Ef. 5:25+31-33)

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;… 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. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. (Eph 5:25+31-33 KJV)

In die begin was die Woord, en die Woord was by God, en die Woord was God. Hy was in die begin by God. Alle dinge het deur Hom ontstaan, en sonder Hom het nie een ding ontstaan wat ontstaan het nie. In Hom was lewe, en die lewe was die lig van die mense. (Joh. 1:1-4)

En Hy was bekleed met ‘n kleed wat in bloed gedoop was, en sy Naam is: Die Woord van God. (Openb. 19:13)

Hy was in die wêreld, en die wêreld het deur Hom ontstaan, en die wêreld het Hom nie geken nie. (Joh. 1:10)

en vir almal aan die lig te bring wat die gemeenskap is van die verborgenheid wat van alle eeue af verborge was in God wat alles geskape het deur Jesus Christus, 
(Ef. 3:9)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (Joh 1:1-4 KJV)

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. (Rev 19:13 KJV)

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 
(Joh 1:10 KJV)

And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: (Eph 3:9 KJV)

Welgeluksalig is die man wat nie wandel in die raad van die goddelose en nie staan op die weg van die sondaars en nie sit in die kring van die spotters nie; maar sy behae is in die wet van die HERE, en hy oordink sy wet dag en nag. En hy sal wees soos ‘n boom wat geplant is by waterstrome, wat sy vrugte gee op sy tyd en waarvan die blare nie verwelk nie; en alles wat hy doen, voer hy voorspoedig uit. (Ps. 1:1-3)

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 
(Psa 1:1-3 KJV)

Dit is beter om by die HERE te skuil as om op mense te vertrou. Dit is beter om by die HERE te skuil as om op edeles te vertrou. 
(Ps. 118:8-9)

So sê die HERE: Vervloek is die man wat op die mens vertrou en vlees sy arm maak, terwyl sy hart van die HERE afwyk. En hy sal wees soos ‘n kaal bos in die wildernis, en hy sal nie sien as die goeie kom nie, maar dor plekke in die woestyn bewoon, ‘n brakkerige en onbewoonde land. Geseënd is die man wat op die HERE vertrou, en wie se vertroue die HERE is. Want hy sal wees soos ‘n boom wat by die water geplant is en sy wortels uitskiet by die stroom en nie vrees as daar hitte kom nie, maar sy blad bly groen; en in ‘n jaar van droogte is hy nie besorg nie en hou nie op om vrugte te dra nie. 
(Jer. 17:5-8)

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. 
(Psa 118:8-9 KJV)

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 
(Jer 17:5-8 KJV)

Doen alles sonder murmurering en teëspraak, sodat julle onberispelik en opreg kan wees, kinders van God sonder gebrek te midde van ‘n krom en verdraaide geslag onder wie julle skyn soos ligte in die wêreld, deurdat julle die woord van die lewe vashou, my tot ‘n roem teen die dag van Christus, dat ek nie verniet geloop of verniet gearbei het nie. 
(Fil. 2:14-16)

Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. 
(Php 2:14-16 KJV)
