1 Corinthians 7
|
- 7:1
Now
concerning the things
whereof ye
wrote unto
me: It is
good for a
man
not to
touch a
woman.
|
- 7:2
Nevertheless
*, to avoid
fornication,
let every
man
have his
own
wife,
and
let every
woman
have her
own
husband.
|
- 7:3
Let the
husband
render unto the
wife
due
benevolence:
and
likewise
also the
wife unto the
husband.
|
- 7:4 The
wife
hath
not
power of her
own
body,
but the
husband:
and
likewise
also the
husband
hath
not
power of his
own
body,
but the
wife.
|
- 7:5 Defraud
ye
not one the
other,
except
it
be
with
consent
for a
time,
that ye may give
yourselves to
fasting
and
prayer;
and
come
together
*
again,
that
Satan
tempt
you
not
for
your
incontinency.
|
- 7:6
But I
speak
this
by
permission, and
not
of
commandment.
|
- 7:7
For I
would that
all
men
were
even
as I
myself.
But every
man
hath his
proper
gift
of
God,
one
after this
manner,
and
another after
that.
|
- 7:8 I
say
therefore to the
unmarried
and
widows, It
is
good for
them
if they
abide
even
as
I.
|
- 7:9
But
if
they
cannot
contain, let them
marry:
for it
is
better to
marry
than to
burn.
|
- 7:10
And unto the
married I
command, yet
not
I,
but the
Lord,
Let
not the
wife
depart
from her
husband:
|
- 7:11
But
and
if she
depart, let her
remain
unmarried,
or be
reconciled to her
husband:
and
let
not the
husband put
away his
wife.
|
- 7:12
But to the
rest
speak
I,
not the
Lord: If
any
brother
hath a
wife that believeth
not,
and
she be
pleased to
dwell
with
him, let
him
not
put
her
away.
|
- 7:13
And the
woman
which
hath an
husband that believeth
not,
and if
he be
pleased to
dwell
with
her, let
her
not
leave
him.
|
- 7:14
For the
unbelieving
husband is
sanctified
by the
wife,
and the
unbelieving
wife is
sanctified
by the
husband:
else
*
were
your
children
unclean;
but
now are
they
holy.
|
- 7:15
But
if the
unbelieving
depart, let him
depart. A
brother
or a
sister
is
not under
bondage
in
such cases:
but
God hath
called
us
to
peace.
|
- 7:16
For
what knowest
thou, O
wife,
whether thou shalt
save thy
husband?
or
how knowest
thou, O
man,
whether thou shalt
save thy
wife?
|
- 7:17
But
as
God hath
distributed to every
man,
as the
Lord hath
called every
one,
so let him
walk.
And
so ordain
I
in
all
churches.
|
- 7:18
Is any
man
called being
circumcised ? let
him
not become
uncircumcised.
Is
any
called
in
uncircumcision? let
him
not be
circumcised.
|
- 7:19
Circumcision
is
nothing,
and
uncircumcision
is
nothing,
but the
keeping of the
commandments of
God.
|
- 7:20
Let every
man
abide
in the
same
calling
wherein
he was
called.
|
- 7:21 Art thou
called being a
servant?
care
*
not for
it:
but
if thou
mayest be
made
free,
use it
rather.
|
- 7:22
For he that is
called
in the
Lord, being a
servant,
is the
Lord's
freeman:
likewise
also he that is
called, being
free,
is
Christ's
servant.
|
- 7:23 Ye are
bought with a
price;
be
not
ye the
servants of
men.
|
- 7:24
Brethren,
let every
man,
wherein
he is
called,
therein
*
abide
with
God.
|
- 7:25
Now
concerning
virgins I
have
no
commandment of the
Lord:
yet I
give my
judgment,
as one that hath obtained
mercy
of the
Lord to
be
faithful.
|
- 7:26 I
suppose
therefore that
this
is
good
for the
present
distress, I say,
that it is
good for a
man
so to
be.
|
- 7:27 Art thou
bound unto a
wife?
seek
not to be
loosed. Art thou
loosed
from a
wife?
seek
not a
wife.
|
- 7:28
But
and
if thou
marry, thou
hast
not
sinned;
and
if a
virgin
marry, she
hath
not
sinned.
Nevertheless
such shall
have
trouble in the
flesh:
but
I
spare
you.
|
- 7:29
But
this I
say,
brethren, the
time is
short: it
remaineth
*,
that
both they that
have
wives
be as
though they
had
none;
|
- 7:30
And they that
weep,
as though they
wept
not;
and they that
rejoice,
as though they
rejoiced
not;
and they that
buy,
as though they
possessed
not;
|
- 7:31
And they that
use
this
world,
as
not
abusing it:
for the
fashion of
this
world passeth
away.
|
- 7:32
But I would
have
*
you without
carefulness. He that is
unmarried
careth for the things that belong
to the
Lord,
how he may
please the
Lord:
|
- 7:33
But he that is
married
careth for the things that
are of the
world,
how he may
please his
wife.
|
- 7:34 There is difference also
between a
wife
and a
virgin. The unmarried
woman careth
for the
things of the
Lord,
that she may
be
holy
both in
body
and in
spirit:
but she that is
married
careth for the
things of the
world,
how she may
please her
husband.
|
- 7:35
And
this I
speak
for
your
own
profit;
not
that I may
cast a
snare upon
you,
but for that
which is
comely,
and that ye may attend
upon the
Lord without
distraction.
|
- 7:36
But if any
man
think that he behaveth himself
uncomely
toward
his
virgin,
if she pass the flower of her
age
*,
and
need
so
require, let him
do
what he
will, he
sinneth
not: let them
marry.
|
- 7:37
Nevertheless
he that
standeth
stedfast
in his
heart,
having
no
necessity,
but
hath
power
over his
own
will,
and
hath
so
decreed
in
his
heart that he will
keep
his
virgin,
doeth
well.
|
- 7:38
So
then he that giveth her in
marriage
doeth
well;
but he that giveth
her
not in
marriage
doeth
better.
|
- 7:39 The
wife is
bound by the
law
as
long
as
her
husband
liveth;
but
if
her
husband be
dead, she
is at
liberty to be
married to
whom she
will;
only
in the
Lord.
|
- 7:40
But she
is
happier
if
she
so
abide,
after
my
judgment:
and I
think
also that I
have the
Spirit of
God.
