46_1CO_07_01 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.
46_1CO_07_02 Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
46_1CO_07_03 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
46_1CO_07_04 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.
46_1CO_07_05 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.
46_1CO_07_06 But I speak this by permission, [and] not of commandment.
46_1CO_07_07 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.
46_1CO_07_08 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
46_1CO_07_09 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
46_1CO_07_10 And unto the married I command, [yet] not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from [her] husband:
46_1CO_07_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.
46_1CO_07_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.
46_1CO_07_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.
46_1CO_07_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.
46_1CO_07_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.
46_1CO_07_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?
46_1CO_07_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.
46_1CO_07_18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
46_1CO_07_19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
46_1CO_07_20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
46_1CO_07_21 Art thou called [being] a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use [it] rather.
46_1CO_07_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.
46_1CO_07_23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
46_1CO_07_24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
46_1CO_07_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.
46_1CO_07_26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, [I say], that [it is] good for a man so to be.
46_1CO_07_27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
46_1CO_07_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.
46_1CO_07_29 But this I say, brethren, the time [is] short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
46_1CO_07_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;
46_1CO_07_31 And they that use this world, as not abusing [it]: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
46_1CO_07_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:
46_1CO_07_33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please [his] wife.
46_1CO_07_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.
46_1CO_07_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.
46_1CO_07_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.
46_1CO_07_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.
46_1CO_07_38 So then he that giveth [her] in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth [her] not in marriage doeth better.
46_1CO_07_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.
46_1CO_07_40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
