  4. GOD'S WILL FOR THOSE WHO ARE COHABITING OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE A. It is God's will for those who are merely cohabiting to: 1. Repent. Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. (Heb. 13:4)

  5. GOD'S WILL FOR THOSE WHO ARE COHABITING OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE A. It is God's will for those who are merely cohabiting to: 1. Repent. Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Cor. 6:9-11)

  6. GOD'S WILL FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNSCRIPTURALLY MARRIED A. It is God's will for the unscripturally married to: 1. Divorce. "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery." (Matt. 19:9) Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. (Heb. 13:4)

  7. GOD'S WILL FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNSCRIPTURALLY MARRIED A. It is God's will for the unscripturally married to: 1. Divorce. Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them. (Col. 3:5-7)

  8. GOD'S WILL FOR THOSE WHO ARE SCRIPTURALLY MARRIED A. It is God's will for the scripturally married to: 1. Be married for life. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And Adam said:

  9. GOD'S WILL FOR THOSE WHO ARE SCRIPTURALLY MARRIED A. It is God's will for the scripturally married to: 1. Be married for life. "This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man." Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. (Gen. 2:21-24)

  10. GOD'S WILL FOR THOSE WHO ARE SCRIPTURALLY MARRIED A. It is God's will for the scripturally married to: 1. Be married for life. And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate." (Matt. 19:5-6)

  11. GOD'S WILL FOR THOSE WHO ARE SCRIPTURALLY MARRIED A. It is God's will for the scripturally married to: 1. Be married for life. Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. (Rom. 7:1-2)

  12. GOD'S WILL FOR THOSE WHO ARE SCRIPTURALLY MARRIED A. It is God's will for the scripturally married to: 1. Be married for life. • Satisfy one another's desires for affection. Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another....

  13. GOD'S WILL FOR THOSE WHO ARE SCRIPTURALLY MARRIED A. It is God's will for the scripturally married to: 1.

But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

  16. GOD'S WILL FOR THOSE WHO ARE SCRIPTURALLY MARRIED B. It is God's will for a scriptural husband to: 1. Be the head of his wife. 2. Love—see to the needs of—his wife.
