Hebrews 13:4

[Selfishness is the opposite of love and care. Here the author brings up two areas where selfishness causes problems: sexual morality (verse 4) and the view of money (verses 5-6). The first part of verse 4 lacks a verb and forms a chiasm where the adjectives "honorable" and "undefiled" frame the context. Then come two nouns: "marriage" and "bed," which are expressions of sexual intimacy, see Rom. 9:10; 13:13. The word "all" is central, reinforcing that both unmarried and married people should hold marriage in high esteem as an institution established by God, something that is precious, fine, and beautiful – a sacred covenant.]
Honorable (glorious, precious)
marriage should be
among all
and the bed
kept undefiled (sexual relations within marriage are a fine and pure gift from God),
for sexually immoral (Gk. pornos) and adulterers [who violate and distort marriage]
will be judged by God.
