1a
When thou takest a wife, thou shalt take such a one as thou lovest, and who loveth thee, and whom thou mayest lawfully marry:
1b
And thou shalt go before an Apostle, a High Priest, or the Chief of the Elders where thou dwellest, or the Priest who administereth in the Temple or the Synagogue;
1c
And by him shall ye be joined in marriage, that she may be thine in life, thine in the resurrection, and thine in life everlasting;
1d
And that the children which she beareth thee, may be with thee in the everlasting Kingdom.
2a
¶ And he who joineth you in marriage, shall unite her unto thee by an indissoluble bond;
2b
And shall give thee grace to love her, and cherish her, and protect her;
2c
And grace unto her to love thee, and nourish thee, and honor thee.
