Biblical Wedding Readings for Your
Religious Ceremony

Whether your audience will be primarily religious or not, there are biblical passages and readings that will translate well across all religions and faiths.

Choosing this message translates well for religious and non-religious audiences, focusing on the transcendent message of union and unity.

Wedding bible readings such as 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 illustrate the qualities of love itself and are well known among religious and non-religious audiences alike. The words “love is patient, love is kind,” makes this a popular selection for good reason.

Colossians 3:12-17 is another good example of celebrating the characteristics of love and God’s expectations of his chosen people.

Some couples choose readings that illustrate specific instructions of the expectations of God’s love for the couple’s future life together. Warning: these are not light or romantic readings.

For this style of wedding scripture reading, look to Ephesians 5:3-21 and Hebrews 13:4-7 for illustrative passages on morality and honorable intentions.

For passages that clearly specify God’s expectations of husband and wife, 1 Corinthians 7: 1-16 is a perfect choice for wedding bible readings.

Choose to celebrate faith and eternal love through devotion and incorporation of the word of God.

Biblical wedding readings will help unify and celebrate the sanctity of your union in the eyes of your friends, family, and the church.
