To the family of God.

 

Husbands Love your brides as the Lord loves his bride the church.

 

Give yourselves for her as the Lord gave himself for you.

 

As he gave himself for you his bride.

 

Yes Give your life for her as he gave his life for you his people. 

Yes as I gave my life for you on the cross my children. 

Husbands give your all for your brides as I gave my all for you.

Love them as I love them. 

Yes cherish them as I cherish my bride the church.  

Love your brides as I love my bride says the Lord.

 

Wives the Lord would say to you to obey your husbands as you would obey the Lord your God.  

Obey him for I have given him to you as your protector and provider. 

Let your light shine before him. 

Let the light of Christ that is within shine forth from within. 

Yes let the light of the Lord shine like the light shines forth from a diamond,  like a multicoloured diamond.

 

Keep yourselves pure before him,  present yourselves without spot or wrinkle by the washing of yourselves with the Word of God.

 

Let your Love shine for each other before the world as my Love shines for you. 

Let it shine like the noon day sun for all to see.

 

Children honour your parents,  for in doing so you are honouring me before all men.  Obey them as you would me, for in doing so you will keep yourselves pure and holy before the Lord your God.

  

Parents love, respect your children and do not embitter them. 

Yes live at peace with each other like I would have you to live at peace with all men for this is the perfect will of the Lord for you all.

 

Let your lights shine before all men. 

let it shine like a city set on a hill says the Lord.

Let the Love that is within you all shine forth,  for in doing so you are showing my love before all men,  for it is my love that will draw all men to faith in me says the Lord.
