The Bible is still most popular
source for wedding readings
Poetry, love songs, advice — the Bible
is still the most popular source for wed-
ding readings. here, selections from
many Bibles that you might use as a
welcome, benediction, or part of a
prayer.
ON LOVE
"I may speak in the tongues of men or
of angles, but if I am without love, I am a
sounding gong or a clanging cymbal. I
may have the gift of prophecy and know
every hidden truth, I may have faith
strong enough to move mountains, but if
I have no love I am nothing. I may dole
out all I possess, or even give my body to
be burnt, but if I have no love, I am none
the better. Love is patient, love is kind
and envies no one. Love is never boastful,
nor conceited, nor rude; never selfish,
not quick to take offense. Love keeps no
score of wrongs; does not gloat over
other men's sins, but delights in the
truth. There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith, its hope, and
its endurance. Love will never come to
an end ... In a word, there are three
things that last forever: faith, hope, and
love; but the greatest of them all is
love." (First Corinthians, chapter 13,
New English Bible)
You will find other words on true love
in I John 3:16; 4:7-19; John 15:9-17; Col-
ossians 3:12-17; Ephesians 5:1-2; Song of
Songs 8:6-7; 7:11-12.
ON HUSBANDS AND WIVES
- "A gracious wife delights her husband,
her thoughtulness puts flesh on his bones;
A gift from the Lord is her governed
speech, and her firm virture is of sur-
passing worth. Choicest of blessings is a
modest wife, priceless her chaste person.
Like the sun rising in the Lord's heavens,
the beauty of a virtuous wife is the ra-
diance of her home." (Ecclesiasticus or
Book of Sirach 26:13-16, from the New
American. Bible )
"Entreat me not to leave thee, or to
return from following after thee: for
whither thou goest, I will go; and where
thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people
shall be my people, and they God, my.
God." (Ruth 1:16, The King James Bible)
"Men ought to give their wives the love
they naturally have for their own bodies.
The love a man gives his wife is the ex-
tending of his love for himself to enfold
her. Nobody ever hates or neglects his
own body; he feeds it and looks after it...
The marriage relationship is doulbtless a
great mystery, but I am speaking of
something deeper still — the marriage of
Christ and His Church. In practice what I
have said amounts to this: let every one
of you who is a husband love his wife as
he loves himself, and let the wife
reverence her husband: (Ephesians
5:28-33 from Phillips translation in
Modern English)
The Bible has much to say about the
roles of husband and wife in a marriage.
Here, some other passages that show the
need for mutual respect: I Corinthians
7:3-4; Hosea 2:21-22; Phillipians 2:1-8;
Proverbs 31:10-13, 17, 20, 25-29; Genesis
2:4b-7, 18-24.
ON MARRIAGE
"Marriage is to be honored by all, and
husbands and wifes must be faithful to
each other." (Hebrews 13:4, from the
