“The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord.” - Proverbs‬ ‭18:22‬ ‭NLT‬‬   “Fathers can give their sons an inheritance of houses and wealth, but only the Lord can give an understanding wife.” - Proverbs‬ ‭19:14‬ ‭NLT‬‬   “Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies. Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.” - Proverbs‬ ‭31:10-12‬ ‭NLT‬‬   “A man with leprosy came and knelt in front of Jesus, begging to be healed. “If you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean,” he said. Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” Instantly the leprosy disappeared, and the man was healed. Then Jesus sent him on his way with a stern warning: “Don’t tell anyone about this. Instead, go to the priest and let him examine you. Take along the offering required in the law of Moses for those who have been healed of leprosy. This will be a public testimony that you have been cleansed.” But the man went and spread the word, proclaiming to everyone what had happened. As a result, large crowds soon surrounded Jesus, and he couldn’t publicly enter a town anywhere. He had to stay out in the secluded places, but people from everywhere kept coming to him.” - Mark‬ ‭1:40-45‬ ‭NLT‬‬
