D ATING

No verses in the Bible specifically refer to dating. In Bible times, young men and women did not date. Their marriages were arranged by their parents. Nevertheless, the Scripture gives many principles that pertain to the practice of dating.

1 Corinthians 15 33 Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character."

Proverbs 11 3 The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.

2 Corinthians 6 Do Not Be Yoked With Unbelievers 14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

Exodus 20 12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

Proverbs 20 11 Even a child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and right.

Ephesians 4 Unity in the Body of Christ 1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

Matthew 5 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

Ephesians 5 2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. 3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.

Psalm 119 b Beth

9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. 10 I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. 11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
