Which passage prays that a couple may grow old together without lust?

• A. Thou hast said, It is not good that man should be alone; let us make unto him an aid like unto himself.
• B. And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for lust, but uprightly: therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged together.
• C. The whoredom of a woman may be known by her eyelids.
• D. Blessed is the man that hath a virtuous wife

Answer: (B)

This question focuses on recognizing a prayer that expresses a desire for a lifelong, chaste partnership. The passage that explicitly asks the Lord to be regarded uprightly and to grant that the couple may grow old together without lust is the clear fit. It directly links the intention of living together in a faithful, long-lasting relationship with a request to avoid lust, emphasizing both chastity and enduring companionship.

The other passages don’t meet this specific prayer. One speaks about God creating a suitable helper, which is about companionship in general rather than a plea to remain free of lust as the relationship ages. Another warns against lust in the context of a woman’s appearance, not about a couple’s long-term fidelity. The last offers a general blessing for a virtuous wife, not a petition for aging together without lust.
