[[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-2|2]] Nevertheless, [(//to avoid//)] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-3|3]] Let the husband render to the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife to the husband. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-4|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. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-5|5]] Defraud you not one the other, except [(//it be//)] with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-6|6]] But I speak this by permission, [(//and//)] not of commandment. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-7|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. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-8|8]] I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-9|9]] But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-10|10]] And to the married I command, [(//yet//)] not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from [(//her//)] husband: [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-11|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. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-12|12]] But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believed not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-13|13]] And the woman which hath an husband that believed not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-14|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. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-15|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. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-16|16]] For what know you, O wife, whether you shalt save [(//your//)] husband? or how know you, O man, whether you shalt save [(//your//)] wife? [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-17|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. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-18|18]] Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-19|19]] Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-20|20]] Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-21|21]] Art you called [(//being//)] a servant? care not for it: but if you mayest be made free, use [(//it//)] rather. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-22|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. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-23|23]] You are bought with a price; be not you the servants of men. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-24|24]] Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-25|25]] Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgement, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-26|26]] I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, [(//I say//)], that [(//it is//)] good for a man so to be. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-27|27]] Art you bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art you loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-28|28]] But and if you marry, you hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-29|29]] But this I say, brethren, the time [(//is//)] short: it remains, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-30|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; [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-31|31]] And they that use this world, as not abusing [(//it//)]: for the fashion of this world passes away. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-32|32]] But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried cares for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-33|33]] But he that is married cares for the things that are of the world, how he may please [(//his//)] wife. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-34|34]] There is difference [(//also//)] between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married cares for the things of the world, how she may please [(//her//)] husband. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-35|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 you may attend upon the Lord without distraction. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-36|36]] But if any man think that he behaves himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of [(//her//)] age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sins not: let them marry. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-37|37]] Nevertheless he that stands 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, does well. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-38|38]] So then he that gives [(//her//)] in marriage does well; but he that gives [(//her//)] not in marriage does better. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-39|39]] The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. [[new testament:interlinear:1Corinthians7-40|40]] But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgement: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God. ---- [[http://christopedia.eu|{{:new_testament:matthew:matthew:chapters:home-icon.png?15|home}}]] Chapters: [[new testament:1corinthians:1corinthians:chapters:chapter1|1]] [[new testament:1corinthians:1corinthians:chapters:chapter2|2]] [[new testament:1corinthians:1corinthians:chapters:chapter3|3]] [[new testament:1corinthians:1corinthians:chapters:chapter4|4]] [[new testament:1corinthians:1corinthians:chapters:chapter5|5]] [[new testament:1corinthians:1corinthians:chapters:chapter6|6]] [[new testament:1corinthians:1corinthians:chapters:chapter7|7]] [[new testament:1corinthians:1corinthians:chapters:chapter8|8]] [[new testament:1corinthians:1corinthians:chapters:chapter9|9]] [[new testament:1corinthians:1corinthians:chapters:chapter10|10]] [[new testament:1corinthians:1corinthians:chapters:chapter11|11]] [[new testament:1corinthians:1corinthians:chapters:chapter12|12]] [[new testament:1corinthians:1corinthians:chapters:chapter13|13]] [[new testament:1corinthians:1corinthians:chapters:chapter14|14]] [[new testament:1corinthians:1corinthians:chapters:chapter15|15]] [[new testament:1corinthians:1corinthians:chapters:chapter16|16]] {{like>}}
