Chapter IX.—Duties of husbands, wives, parents, and children.
Let the husbands love their wives, remembering that, at the creation, one woman, and
not many, was given to one man. Let the wives honour their husbands, as their own flesh;
and let them not presume to address them by their names.769 Let them also be chaste,
reckoning their husbands as their only partners, to whom indeed they have been united
according to the will of God. Ye parents, impart a holy training to your children. Ye children,
“honour your parents, that it may be well with you.”770
