1 Esdras 4:25

25 Therefore a man loveth his wife better than father or mother.

1 Esdras 4:25 In-Context

23 "Yea, a man taketh his sword and goeth his way to rob and to steal, to sail upon the sea and upon rivers,

24 and looketh upon a lion, and goeth in the darkness; and when he hath stolen, despoiled, and robbed, he bringeth it to his love.

25 Therefore a man loveth his wife better than father or mother.

26 Yea, many there be who have run out of their wits for women and become servants for their sakes.

27 Many also have perished, have erred and sinned, for women.
