2013 Examining the Scriptures Daily Wednesday, June 11 They are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together let no man put apart.—Matt. 19:6. Whether single or married, all of us need to bear in mind Jesus’ words. Coveting another person’s marriage mate is a sin. (Deut. 5:21) If any Christian begins to entertain such a covetous desire, he or she should act quickly to rout out the unclean desire, even at the cost of great emotional pain because of having allowed selfish cravings to develop. (Matt. 5:27-30) It is vital to correct such thinking and suppress the sinful yearning of a treacherous heart. (Jer. 17:9) Even many of those who have known little or nothing about Jehovah God and his wonderful gift of marriage have shown at least a measure of gratitude for the marital bond. How much more so should we who are dedicated to “the happy God,” Jehovah, rejoice in all of his provisions and give evidence that we really appreciate God’s gift of marriage!—1 Tim. 1:11. w12 5/15 1:17, 18
