Gloria Copeland — Husbands Honor Your Wives
Filed under: Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
Colossians 3:19
NKJV—Husbands, love your wives and
do not be bitter toward them.
Amp—Husbands, love your wives—be
affectionate and sympathetic with them—
and do not be harsh or bitter or resentful
toward them.
Weymouth—Married men, be affectionate
to your wives, and do not treat them harshly.
1 Timothy 2:8
NKJV—Therefore I desire that the men
pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands,
without wrath and doubting.
Amp—I desire therefore that in every
place men should pray, without anger
or quarreling or resentment or doubt [in
their minds], lifting up holy hands.
Weymouth—So, then, I would have the
men in every place of worship pray, lifting
to God holy hands without anger or strife.
1 Timothy 5:8
NKJV—But if anyone does not provide
for his own, and especially for those of his
household, he has denied the faith and is
worse than an unbeliever.
Amp—If any one fails to provide for his
relatives, and especially for those of his
own family, he has disowned the faith [by
failing to accompany it with fruits], and is
worse than an unbeliever [who performs
his obligation in these matters].
Weymouth—If a man makes no provision
for his own relations, and especially for his
own household, he has disowned the faith
and is behaving worse than an unbeliever.
1 Peter 3:7
KJV—Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with
[your wives] according to knowledge, giving
honour unto the wife, as unto the
weaker vessel, and as being heirs together
of the grace of life; that your prayers be
not hindered.
NIV—Husbands, in the same way be
considerate as you live with your wives,
and treat them with respect as the weaker
partner and as heirs with you of the gracious
gift of life, so that nothing will hinder
your prayers.
Amp—In the same way you married men
should live considerately with [your wives],
with an intelligent recognition [of the marriage
relation], honoring the woman as
[physically] the weaker, but [realizing that
you] are joint heirs of the grace (God’s
unmerited favor) of life, in order that your
prayers may not be hindered and cut off.—
Otherwise you cannot pray effectively.
