When a man and a woman have married each other, they must each respect the marriage. Husbands and wives must only have sex with each other. God will punish anyone who has sex with another person's husband or wife. He will punish anyone who has sex in a wrong way.

In the way that you live, do not want lots of money. Be happy with the things that you have. Be happy, because God has said this:

‘I will never leave you;
I will always be there with you.’

Because of that, we can bravely say this:[a]

‘The Lord is the one who helps me,
so I will not be afraid.
I will not be afraid of anything that people can do to me.’

  1. 13:6 See Psalms 118:6-7.

Marriage should be honored by all,(A) and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.(B) Keep your lives free from the love of money(C) and be content with what you have,(D) because God has said,

“Never will I leave you;
    never will I forsake you.”[a](E)

So we say with confidence,

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
    What can mere mortals do to me?”[b](F)
