It's not 'thine wife' in Classical English, it's 'thy wife'. An initial
semivowel does not a vowel make.
The only chastisement by beating of family members commanded in scripture is
from fathers to sons.
Not from fathers to daughters
Not from mothers to sons
Not from mothers to daughters
Not from husbands to wives.

Homosexuality is a breach of a creation ordinance, as is keeping one day in
seven as a day of rest, the estate of marriage and the command to go forth
and multiply. These things refer to all mankind, and were never intended

branches of the olive tree could come in, but God will soon graft them in
again.
