12 Ways Christian Women Sin Sexually Against Their Husbands
Modern Christian marriages are under siege—not merely from pornography, adultery, or apathy, but from something more subtle and sanctified: respectable rebellion in the marriage bed. While many wives would never dream of adultery, they regularly engage in patterns of sexual sin that are just as corrosive, often cloaked in spiritual language or cultural excuses. And yet, the Scriptures do not draw a line between "acceptable" sexual sin and scandalous sin. What God commands in 1 Corinthians 7:3–5 is not optional. It is holy. It is binding. It is for our joy.
And that means wives must take seriously the ways they are tempted to dishonor God and their husbands in the area of sexual obedience.
Below are 12 ways Christian wives sin sexually against their husbands—not from the street corner, but often from the church pew. These are not minor missteps. These are real sins, and they demand real repentance.
1. WITHHOLDING AS PUNISHMENT
When a wife withholds intimacy—not due to illness, trauma, or exhaustion, but as a form of punishment—she is not merely disappointing her husband. She is disobeying God. This act, which may feel justified in moments of frustration or conflict, is in fact a form of spiritual rebellion. It weaponizes what God designed to be a gift. It turns the marriage bed into a courtroom, with the wife as judge, jury, and executioner.
Scripture could not be clearer: “Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control” (1 Corinthians 7:5). The only biblically acceptable reason for abstinence in marriage is mutual agreement for a temporary season of prayer. Anything else is disobedience.
This sin is often minimized because it doesn’t look scandalous. It doesn’t make headlines. It isn’t mentioned in prayer requests. But it is no less destructive. A wife who closes her body in coldness, because her husband has failed in some way, is preaching a false gospel with her life. She is saying: “Until you meet my standard, I will withhold myself from you.” That is not covenant. That is law. And that is not how Christ loves His bride.
To withhold intimacy is to invite resentment into the home. It trains both spouses to see sex as a transaction rather than a covenantal act of union. And worst of all, it invites Satan into the marriage through the open door of temptation. Paul does not say that depriving your spouse might weaken the marriage—he says it will.
This is not strength. This is sabotage. It is not holiness. It is harm. A wife’s body is not a bargaining chip to be used for leverage. It is a blessing to be offered in love. God designed marital intimacy as a foretaste of the joy between Christ and the Church. And when that intimacy is weaponized, it becomes a mockery of the mystery it was meant to portray.
So, sister—if you are withholding affection to punish, manipulate, or control, repent. Not just for your husband’s sake, but for Christ’s. He has called you to love not when your spouse is perfect, but when your Savior is. And He always is.
2. USING SEX AS A REWARD SYSTEM
If the first sin is punishment, the second is payment. This is the wife who doesn’t withhold to wound—she withholds to negotiate. Intimacy becomes a bargaining chip, a currency of manipulation, rather than a covenantal act of love. Her husband must earn access to what is already his.
Did he take out the trash? Did he finally plan that date? Did he help with the kids? Is it his birthday? If so, he gets the reward: intimacy. But if not, he receives silence, distance, or denial. The marriage bed becomes a ledger, not a place of grace.
The Bible nowhere treats sexual intimacy as a wage. It is not earned. It is not a payment for good behavior. It is a joyful, free, and covenantal gift. Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 7:4–5 shatters this economy of manipulation: “The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.” This isn’t about power. It’s about mutual ownership, sacrificial love, and covenantal trust.
To say, “You must do X before I give you Y,” is to treat marriage like a vending machine. It is to rob it of grace and turn it into a contract. This attitude trains the husband to perform, not to pursue. It teaches him to fear failure rather than cherish union. And over time, it wears away at joy until all that remains is duty and discouragement.
This is not what Christ modeled. Christ gave Himself to His bride not because she earned Him, but because He loved her. The wife who patterns her love after Christ will not use her body to manipulate—but to minister.
If you have fallen into this pattern, don’t rationalize it. Repent. Sex is not a tool for control. It is a theater of grace. Don’t demand wages. Offer grace.
3. BEING DISINTERESTED AND PASSIVE
This is the wife who technically says "yes"—but only with her body. Her lips say "fine," but her eyes say "hurry up." There is no passion. No affection. No pursuit. No joy. She participates physically but is absent emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. And while she may believe she is being obedient by giving herself, her disinterest is a form of disengagement that slowly starves the marriage.
This is not obedience—it is survival. And it’s not biblical. Song of Solomon 7:10 says, “I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me.” That is not reluctant endurance. That is affectionate, eager union. That is a picture of intimacy where both body and soul are present, offered freely, and received joyfully. This kind of intimacy mirrors the joy of Christ and His bride.
Passive participation robs the marriage bed of its purpose. The goal is not duty—it is delight. Proverbs 5:18–19 says, “Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth… be exhilarated always with her love.” Exhilaration doesn’t come through cold compliance. It comes through warm pursuit. Through mutual giving, mutual receiving, and mutual delight.
A disinterested wife may think she is “at least showing up,” but a cold body in a warm bed is not covenantal faithfulness. It's silent sabotage. It teaches the husband that pursuit is unwelcome, that love is one-sided, and that desire is met with apathy. Over time, it produces distance, discouragement, and division.
If you have fallen into this, take heart. God does not ask for performance—He asks for participation. He calls you to delight in your husband as a picture of how the Church delights in Christ. To come not just with duty, but with joy. Because when a wife offers herself with gladness, she doesn't just bless her husband—she bears witness to the gospel.
4. CLOAKING SEXLESSNESS IN SPIRITUAL TERMS
Some wives don’t deny intimacy through anger or coldness—they deny it through god-talk. They say things like, “I’m fasting,” “I’m praying,” “I’m just in a spiritual season right now.” But behind the sanctified language is a pattern of refusal that has nothing to do with holiness and everything to do with avoidance.
Now to be clear, the Bible does allow a time of abstinence—if and only if it is mutual and for a defined spiritual purpose (1 Corinthians 7:5). Paul does not condemn temporary abstinence for prayer. He condemns unilateral decisions to deprive. If your spiritual devotion requires your husband’s deprivation, it is not biblical. It is pride dressed in piety.
This can show up in many ways: she may prioritize every other ministry except her marriage. She may quote Scripture by day but offer coldness by night. She sees sex as a lesser form of spirituality, or something beneath the “higher” more pietistic duties of study, prayer, and service. But this betrays a deep theological error—God designed intimacy, not just for pleasure and procreation, but as a spiritual good. He wove it into the very fabric of marital holiness.
To act as if prayer and intimacy are enemies is to pit two divine gifts against one another. God doesn’t call you to choose between reading your Bible and loving your husband. He calls you to do both. A wife who never misses a devotional but constantly defers her husband is spiritually imbalanced. She may be passionate in her prayer closet and cold in her bedroom—and this should not be.
If you have slipped into this form of cloaked refusal, confess it for what it is: not sanctification, but selective obedience. God never intended your intimacy to be held hostage by your spiritual routine. He intended it to be a means of grace for your husband and a reflection of the gospel you claim to love.
So don’t use God as an excuse to neglect your spouse. Don’t turn the holy into a hiding place. Come back to the beautiful rhythm of prayer and passion, Scripture and self-giving, worship and oneness. Christ calls you to both. Not to shame you—but to sanctify you.
5. EMOTIONAL ADULTERY
Physical faithfulness does not guarantee marital faithfulness. A wife may never touch another man, yet she can still give him her heart. Emotional adultery is the quiet, internal betrayal that often goes unnoticed—until it wrecks a marriage. It begins with vulnerability. She shares her thoughts, frustrations, and affections with another man. He understands her. He listens. He makes her feel seen. Soon, she is emotionally bonded to someone who is not her husband.
This could happen at work, through texting, in social media DMs, or even with men in her church. The conversations may appear innocent, but the heart is drifting. Her mind is comparing. Her soul is wandering. And in time, she begins giving another man what belongs only to her covenant head.
Jesus said, “Everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:28). That same principle applies here in reverse. A wife who entertains emotional intimacy with another man—whether in fantasy, conversation, or comparison—is tearing a page out of the same book. She is cultivating intimacy outside her covenant.
This kind of betrayal is devastating because it’s often invisible. The husband may sense a chill, a withdrawal, a vague discontent. He knows something is wrong, but he can’t prove it. Meanwhile, the wife feels affirmed by the secret affection she receives. It makes her feel powerful, wanted, understood. But it is a counterfeit comfort, and it is a slow-burning betrayal of her vows.
Emotional adultery doesn’t require sex. It only requires that you give what was meant for your husband to another man. Your secrets. Your admiration. Your attention. Your affection. These are sacred things—and when they are given elsewhere, they desecrate the marriage bed just as surely as a physical affair.
If you find yourself bonding with another man, comparing your husband to him, delighting in the attention or escape he provides, do not brush it off. Bring it into the light. Repent. Flee. Don’t say, “It’s just texting.” Say, “This could destroy my soul and my marriage.”
And then, re-anchor your heart in your home. Give your husband your laughter, your loyalty, your inside jokes, your joy. Let the intimacy that once bled outward be redirected back into covenant. Build a sacred circle where only he belongs.
Because the gospel does not wink at emotional betrayal—it heals it. And it replaces counterfeit affection with covenant joy.
6. COMPARING HER HUSBAND TO OTHER MEN
Few things are more quietly destructive to a husband’s soul than living in the shadow of another man’s imagined superiority. This is the sin of comparison. A wife may not say it out loud, but she thinks it: “Why can’t he be more like him?” More romantic. More spiritual. More confident. More successful. More handsome. More fun. More thoughtful. More godly. The comparison list is endless—and cruel.
This sin, though internal, is not invisible. It leaks out in sighs, rolled eyes, coldness, and disappointment. It shows up when she withdraws from intimacy, not because her husband has done something wrong, but because he has failed to meet the standard she’s fashioned from someone else.
Whether the standard is a fictional character, a celebrity, a friend’s husband, or even a former flame, the damage is the same. Comparison breeds contempt. And contempt is the rot that hollows out respect, affection, and desire.
The tenth commandment could not be clearer: “You shall not covet your neighbor’s… wife, or his male servant… or anything that belongs to your neighbor” (Exodus 20:17). Applied rightly, this means you shall not covet someone else’s husband—or even the traits he possesses that yours lacks. Fantasizing about a different man is not romantic—it’s rebellion. It is not innocent—it is idolatry. And it kills.
Every time a wife compares her man to another, she is telling God that the husband He gave her is not good enough. She is declaring that God’s providence was flawed. She is despising the man she vowed to love, honor, and cherish.
But it’s worse than that. Because that discontentment doesn’t just damage the mind. It damages the bedroom. When she wishes her husband were someone else, she slowly begins to withdraw her affection. She fantasizes rather than gives. She critiques rather than encourages. She may still engage in intimacy, but her heart is somewhere else. And in doing so, she sins—not only in mind, but in body.
The gospel calls us to contentment. To gratitude. To joy in the good gifts of God—even the imperfect ones. If your heart has drifted into comparison, confess it. Name it for what it is. Destroy the fantasy before it destroys your husband. And ask God to give you new eyes to see the man you married—not as the man you wish he was, but as the man God gave you to love.
Because when you bless the husband God gave you, you bless the Lord who gave him.
7. WHEN A WIFE WITHHOLDS HER BEAUTY
This is not about a woman who can’t take care of herself. This is about a woman who won’t. A wife who once adorned herself with dignity, who once put effort into beautifying herself for the joy of her husband, now chooses not to. This is not the neglect of postpartum exhaustion, chronic illness, or the unrelenting demands of small children. This is not the natural aging process. This is deliberate. This is protest.
It is a kind of cold war, waged not with words, but with eyeliner never applied, hair never brushed, clothing never cared for. It’s not that she can’t put herself together—it’s that she won’t. And she knows it. Deep down, she knows what pleases her husband. She knows what once delighted him. And instead of offering that beauty as a gift, she withholds it like a punishment. The message is silent, but searing: “You don’t deserve my beauty anymore.”
Let’s be crystal clear—this isn’t about vanity. This isn’t about some cultural pressure to look like a Photoshopped model. This is about biblical, God-honoring femininity. The Proverbs 31 woman made coverings for herself. Her clothing was fine linen and purple—not to flaunt herself before the world, but to bless her household. Her beautification was not selfish. It was sacrificial. It was ministry. Honor, not hedonism.
The Song of Solomon is filled with scenes where the bride prepares herself—visibly, tangibly, beautifully—for her husband. And the husband delights in her with covenantal joy: “How beautiful you are, my darling!” (Song 1:15). That kind of physical affection is not carnal. It’s covenantal. A wife’s presentation is not irrelevant. It speaks volumes. And when that beauty is withdrawn, it speaks just as loudly.
Neglect, in this context, is not neutral. It’s wounding. A husband sees the effort she gives to look nice for church, coworkers, friends—but not for him. He feels it. He may not say it, but he notices. He wonders if he still matters. If he’s still wanted. And over time, that wound festers.
Wife, if this is you—repent. Not by chasing airbrushed fantasies or giving in to guilt, but by embracing your God-given calling to bless your husband with the body and beauty He gave you. This is not about impressing strangers. It’s about honoring your man.
You wouldn’t go to church disheveled. You wouldn’t meet your boss without preparation. So why offer your husband—your covenant head, your lifelong partner—less than you’d offer a passing acquaintance?
You don’t need to be flawless. Just faithful. You don’t need to be glamorous. Just gracious. You don’t need the admiration of the crowd. Just the loving gaze of the one who vowed to cherish you forever.
8. TREATING HER BODY LIKE IT’S HERS ALONE
We live in a culture where the mantra "my body, my choice" is shouted from rooftops. But tragically, this sentiment has crept into Christian marriages, too. Some wives have absorbed the idea that their body belongs exclusively to themselves—even after the wedding vows. They see sexual availability not as a covenantal duty, but as a personal decision subject to mood, preference, or convenience. This is not biblical freedom—it is marital rebellion.
Paul leaves no room for ambiguity on this: “The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does” (1 Corinthians 7:4). In Christian marriage, bodily autonomy is not erased—it is transformed into mutual belonging. The husband and wife are no longer two, but one. Their bodies are not battlegrounds or bargaining chips. They are instruments of grace, freely given to one another.
To act as if her body is a walled-off nation, guarded and rationed out on her own terms, is to defy this reality. It is to retreat from covenantal unity and operate as a single woman in a married world. It undermines the one-flesh union and sends a loud, unspoken message to her husband: “You don’t have access to me unless I say so.” That is not submission. That is self-rule disguised as self-care.
This does not mean a wife must be constantly available without regard for her own needs or health. But it does mean that the default posture should be one of joyful generosity, not resistant independence. Biblical marriage invites us into mutual delight, not one-sided deprivation.
A wife who closes herself off, believing her body is her own to manage, is cutting off the very intimacy that nourishes trust, tenderness, and marital joy. And while the culture may praise her for "setting boundaries" or "guarding her peace," Scripture calls her to something far higher: sacrificial love.
If this mindset has taken root in your heart, repent. Ask God to renew your understanding of the marriage bed—not as a space of control, but as a sanctuary of oneness. Rejoice in the gift of mutual belonging. Relearn the joy of giving yourself freely. Because your body is not just yours—it belongs to Christ, and in marriage, it belongs to the one He gave you to.
9. LETTING BITTERNESS KILL AFFECTION
Bitterness is like acid in a marriage. It corrodes intimacy slowly, silently, and thoroughly. A wife may not say she’s bitter, but the evidence speaks: coldness replaces closeness, sarcasm replaces affection, distance replaces delight. She no longer reaches out. She no longer responds. The spark is gone—not because of fatigue or illness, but because she’s holding onto pain.
Perhaps her husband has failed her. Maybe he’s been emotionally absent, spiritually weak, or practically neglectful. And instead of confronting with grace or reconciling with truth, she has chosen the slow poison of resentment. She replays his faults like a tape. She tallies his failures. And she allows his sins to become her justification for emotional and sexual withdrawal.
But here’s what Scripture says: “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:31–32).
Bitterness is never a safe sin. It numbs the heart and stiffens the body. It convinces a wife that she is righteous to withhold herself, when in fact she is rebelling. Over time, bitterness builds a wall in the bedroom. Affection dies. Initiative disappears. Sexuality becomes a ghost of what it was.
And here is the tragedy: she may still go to church. She may still read her Bible. She may still serve the saints. But her bed is cold, and her heart is colder. That is not holiness. That is hypocrisy.
Wife, if your husband has wounded you, don’t weaponize the wound. Don’t let pain fester into poison. Go to him. Confront him if needed. Forgive him where God calls you to. Pray for him. But do not let your heart freeze.
Because a frozen heart cannot warm a marriage bed. And a wife full of bitterness cannot bless her husband, even if she keeps the household running and the kids clothed. Forgiveness, not resentment, is the path to intimacy.
Christ has not withheld His affection from you, even when you’ve wounded Him. He did not turn away from His bride in scorn—He pursued her in mercy. So receive His grace. Let it melt your bitterness. And let your affection for your husband be restored—not because he is perfect, but because Christ is.
10. TREATING INTIMACY LIKE A CHORE
This sin isn’t loud or scandalous. It doesn’t show up in arguments or accusations. It shows up in sighs, indifference, and empty eyes. It’s the wife who consents to intimacy but makes it clear—through her tone, body language, and disengagement—that she’d rather be doing anything else.
Sex becomes a task. Another thing on the to-do list. Another box to check so that she can go to sleep. She shows up, but not with her heart. There’s no pursuit, no passion, no glad-hearted giving. And while she may believe she is fulfilling her duty, she is actually diminishing the beauty of the covenant.
Scripture does not describe the marriage bed in terms of obligation. It speaks in the language of joy. “Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth… be exhilarated always with her love” (Proverbs 5:18–19). This is not reluctant compliance. This is exuberant participation. Intimacy in marriage is meant to be celebratory—not merely endurable, but exhilarating.
A wife who treats intimacy like drudgery trains her husband to feel unwanted, unwelcome, and unworthy. He may hear “yes” with her mouth but “no” with her posture. Over time, this quiet rejection accumulates. It builds discouragement. It numbs pursuit. It turns the joyful act of union into an awkward, muted ritual.
This kind of sin is hard to name, because it’s not about outright refusal. It’s about half-hearted presence. But half-hearted presence is still disobedience. God does not call wives to merely allow intimacy. He calls them to embrace it with delight, just as the Church embraces Christ with joy.
Wife, if this is you—confess it. Not because you need to become someone else, but because God has called you to give yourself fully. Ask Him to rekindle the desire to bless, to pursue, and to participate. You don’t need to fake passion. But you do need to fan its flame.
Because when you do, you don’t just bless your husband—you preach the gospel. You bear witness to the joy of covenant, the warmth of grace, and the freedom of love that gives fully and gladly.
11. MOCKING HIS DESIRE
Desire in marriage is a gift from God. It is sacred, not shameful. But too often, a husband’s God-given sexual desire becomes the target of mockery rather than ministry. A wife rolls her eyes, sighs with exasperation, or mutters sarcastic comments like, “Again? Seriously?” or “Is that all you ever think about?”
These may seem like harmless jokes, but they cut deep. They mock what God calls good. They shame a man for wanting what God designed him to want: his wife.
The Bible teaches that the marriage bed is a place of rejoicing and pursuit, not ridicule. “The man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed” (Genesis 2:25). That’s the Edenic standard—vulnerability without mockery, intimacy without disgrace.
When a wife treats her husband’s sexual desire as annoying, pathetic, or immature, she communicates a devastating message: “Desiring me is wrong. Wanting me is weakness.” Over time, this shames him for doing what God created him to do—pursue oneness with the woman he loves.
And here is the tragic irony: most wives want to be desired. They want to be pursued. But when that pursuit is mocked, they extinguish the very affection they secretly hope will continue. If he tries and is scorned, he will eventually stop trying. And when that pursuit dries up, so too will the joy of marital closeness.
Wife, if your husband still desires you—thank God. If he reaches for you, touches you, flirts with you, pursues you—rejoice. This is not immaturity. It is evidence of covenant love. This is not perversion. It is purity in action.
Don’t treat your husband like a nuisance for desiring you. Treat him like a gift. You are his delight, his treasure, his glory (Proverbs 12:4). He could have given his desire to sin, to pixels, or to another woman. But he gives it to you. That is not pathetic. That is profound.
Receive him joyfully. Encourage his pursuit. And remember that the way you respond to his desire is a reflection of your reverence for God’s design. Because the marriage bed isn’t just physical—it’s theological. It tells the truth (or lies) about how we view God’s good gifts.
So don’t extinguish what God gave to bless your union. Don’t shame your husband into silence. Instead, thank God that you’re wanted. And respond in a way that builds intimacy, honors Christ, and deepens joy.
12. TREATING INTIMACY AS OPTIONAL
Perhaps the most overlooked sin of all is the quiet conviction that sexual intimacy is a negotiable part of marriage. That it is peripheral, not central. That a wife’s spirituality can be vibrant while her marriage bed remains vacant. That Bible reading, prayer, hospitality, and church attendance are all essential—but that giving herself to her husband is a matter of preference, not obedience.
This is a deadly lie.
Paul says, “The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband” (1 Corinthians 7:3). He calls it a duty—not because it is dry or mechanical, but because it is sacred. Sex is not optional. It is ordained. It is obedience. And far from being a lesser form of holiness, it is one of the clearest expressions of covenantal love.
Many wives would never skip church or prayer. They would grieve missing their morning devotion or a Bible study. But they will regularly withhold their body from their husband—and never see it as sin. They believe intimacy is earned, or deserved, or only valid when conditions are perfect. But Scripture does not make room for that kind of pick-and-choose discipleship.
A wife who consistently refuses her husband without biblical grounds is not walking in wisdom. She is walking in rebellion. And that rebellion is often spiritualized with noble-sounding language: “I’m tired.” “I’m stressed.” “I’m just not in the mood.” While there can be legitimate seasons of difficulty, the habitual neglect of marital intimacy—especially when cloaked in self-justification—is a breach of covenant and a denial of love.
It is not merely a withholding of sex. It is a withholding of self.
God did not design marriage as a contract to be maintained. He designed it as a covenant to be celebrated. Intimacy is not icing—it’s an altar. It is not merely about passion—it’s about promise. And when a wife treats that act as nonessential, she is telling a lie about the very union it is meant to picture.
So, sister—hear this clearly: reading your Bible is obedience. Praying is obedience. Loving your husband through intimacy is obedience.
And more than that—it is glory.
It is your joy to embody, with your own body, the truth that Christ gave Himself fully to His bride. And when you give yourself joyfully to your husband, you proclaim that Gospel truth in the most embodied and beautiful way.
So don’t call optional what God calls holy. Don’t sideline the very act God designed to sustain your marriage. Don’t wait for the feelings. Obey—and let the feelings follow.
CONCLUSION
Every one of these sins reveals something tragic: a departure from God’s design for marriage. A forgetfulness of the covenant. A loss of awe over the gift of oneness. And while it is right to expose the sin, it is even more glorious to proclaim the grace that overcomes it.
There is no shame too deep, no failure too familiar, no pattern too ingrained that the blood of Christ cannot cleanse and the Spirit of Christ cannot renew. Jesus does not merely forgive our sins—He reshapes our desires. He reorders our affections. He reawakens deadened hearts and restores fractured marriages.
Wife, if you see yourself in these sins, do not wallow. Do not rationalize. Repent. And rejoice that the Gospel is big enough for this. Christ does not shame you for your past—He calls you into glory. He does not leave you stuck in your sin—He invites you into strength.
When you honor your husband with joyful, generous, glad-hearted intimacy, you do more than fulfill a command—you preach a sermon. You tell the truth about Christ and His Church. You proclaim a Gospel of grace, sacrifice, beauty, and unbreakable love. You become a living parable of covenantal delight.
So rise up, daughter of God. Rise up, radiant bride. Clothe yourself with strength and dignity. Put away passivity, bitterness, resentment, and pride. And put on the beauty of obedience, the fragrance of love, the power of grace.
Because when you do, your marriage bed becomes more than a battleground of sin. It becomes a sanctuary of worship.
Let the repentance be real. Let the joy be full. And let Christ be glorified in your covenant.
