Till Death Do You Part

Luke 16:15-18

You justify you in the eyes of the masses,
But God knows your heart and trespasses;
Those things important in minds of another,
Are evil in the eyes of our Heavenly Father;
The law and the prophets were until John,
Then of God and preaching of a new dawn;
To the kingdom of God go into it by force,
But Heaven and earth will have a divorce;
Before the least letter of the law drop out,
A man put away his wife without a doubt;
Then taking another is a false husband,
Same whoever marries a wife abandoned.
Marriage in the eyes of God is forever,
Between a man and a woman not to sever;
For you are two flesh made into as one,
In a lifetime until the last breath is done;
Just as Eve formed from a rib of the man,
She would remain as a part of his clan;
Honor your spouse and take it to heart,
Having only one till death do you part.
