If a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing; ... they shall be childless. (Lev. 20 : 21.) Hatred to Kindred Enjoined. If any man come unto me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14 : 26.) Hatred to Kindred Condemned. Honor thy father and mother. (Eph. 6 : 2.) Husbands, love your wives.... For no man ever yet hated his own flesh. (Eph. 5 : 25, 29.) Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. (1 John 3 : 15.) Intoxicating Beverages Recommended. Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine to those that be of heavy hearts. Let him drink and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more. (Prov. 31 : 6, 7.) And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink. (Deut. 14 : 26.) Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake, and thine often infirmities. (1 Tim. 5 : 23.) Wine that maketh glad the heart of man. (Ps. 104 : 15.) Wine which cheereth God and man. (Judges 9 : 13.) Intoxicating Beverages Discountenanced. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. (Prov. 20 : 1.) Look not thou upon the wine when it is red; when it giveth his color in the cup.... At the last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder. (Prov. 23 : 31, 32.) It is Our Duty to Obey Rulers, Who are God's Ministers and Punish Evil Doers Only. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever, therefore, resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God; and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good work, but to evil.... For this cause pay ye tribute also; for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. (Rom. 13 : 1, 2, 3, 6.) The Scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses seat; all, therefore, whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do. (Mat. 23 : 2, 3.) Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake; whether it be to the king as supreme, or unto governors as unto them that are sent of him for the punishment of evil-doers. (1 Pet. 2 : 13, 14.) I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment.... Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing. (Eccl. 8 : 2, 5.) It is Not Our Duty Always to Obey Rulers, Who Sometimes Punish the Good, and Receive Damnation Therefor. But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them.... Therefore God dealt well with the midwives. (Ex. 1 : 17, 20.) Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said, ... Be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. (Dan. 3 : 16, 18.)
