I Corinthians 7 (kjv)

Now^G1161 concerning^G4012 the things whereof^G3739 ye wrote^G1125 unto me^G3427: It is good^G2570 for a man^G444 not^G3361 to touch^G680 a woman^G1135.²Nevertheless^{G1223 G1161}, to avoid fornication^G4202, let^G2192 every man^G1538 have^G2192 his own^G1438 wife^G1135, and^G2532 let^G2192 every woman^G1538 have^G2192 her own^G2398 husband^G435.³Let^G591 the husband^G435 render^G591 unto the wife^G1135 due^G3784 benevolence^G2133: and^G1161 likewise^G3668 also^G2532 the wife^G1135 unto the husband^G435.⁴The wife^G1135 hath^G1850 not^G3756 power^G1850 of her own^G2398 body^G4983, but^G235 the husband^G435: and^G1161 likewise^G3668 also^G2532 the husband^G435 hath^G1850 not^G3756 power^G1850 of his own^G2398 body^G4983, but^G235 the wife^G1135.⁵Defraud ye^G650 not^G3361 one the other^G240, except^{G1509 G302} it be^G5100 with^G1537 consent^G4859 for^G4314 a time^G2540, that^G2443 ye may give yourselves^G4980 to fasting^G3521 and^G2532 prayer^G4335; and^G2532 come^G4905 together^{G1909 G846} again^G3825, that^G3363 Satan^G4567 tempt^G3985 you^G5209 not^G3363 for^G1223 your^G5216 incontinency^G192.⁶But^G1161 I speak^G3004 this^G5124 by^G2596 permission^G4774, and not^G3756 of^G2596 commandment^G2003.⁷For^G1063 I would^G2309 that all^G3956 men^G444 were^G1511 even^G2532 as^G5613 I myself^G1683. But^G235 every man^G1538 hath^G2192 his proper^G2398 gift^G5486 of^G1537 God^G2316, one^{G3739 G3303} after this manner^G3779, and^G1161 another^G3739 after that^G3779.⁸I say^G3004 therefore^G1161 to the unmarried^G22 and^G2532 widows^G5503, It is^G2076 good^G2570 for them^G846 if^G1437 they abide^G3306 even^G2504 as^G5613 I^G2504.⁹But^G1161 if^G1487 they^G1467 cannot^G3756 contain^G1467, let them marry^G1060: for^G1063 it is^G2076 better^G2909 to marry^G1060 than^G2228 to burn^G4448.¹⁰And^G1161 unto the married^G1060 I command^G3853, yet not^G3756 I^G1473, but^G235 the Lord^G2962, Let^G5563 not^G3361 the wife^G1135 depart^G5563 from^G575 her husband^G435:¹¹But^G1161 and^G2532 if^G1437 she depart^G5563, let her remain^G3306 unmarried^G22, or^G2228 be reconciled^G2644 to her husband^G435: and^G2532 let^G863 not^G3361 the husband^G435 put away^G863 his wife^G1135.¹²But^G1161 to the rest^G3062 speak^G3004 I^G1473, not^G3756 the Lord^G2962: If any^G1536 brother^G80 hath^G2192 a wife^G1135 that believeth not^G571, and^G2532 she^G846 be pleased^G4909 to dwell^G3611 with^G3326 him^G846, let him^G863 not^G3361 put^G863 her^G846 away^G863.¹³And^G2532 the woman^G1135 which^G3748 hath^G2192 an husband^G435 that believeth not^G571, and^G2532 if he^G846 be pleased^G4909 to dwell^G3611 with^G3326 her^G846, let her^G863 not^G3361 leave^G863 him^G846.¹⁴For^G1063 the unbelieving^G571 husband^G435 is sanctified^G37 by^G1722 the wife^G1135, and^G2532 the unbelieving^G571 wife^G1135 is sanctified^G37 by^G1722 the husband^G435: else^{G686 G1893} were^G2076 your^G5216 children^G5043 unclean^G169; but^G1161 now^G3568 are they^G2076 holy^G40.¹⁵But^G1161 if^G1487 the unbelieving^G571 depart^G5563, let him depart^G5563. A brother^G80 or^G2228 a sister^G79 is^G1402 not^G3756 under bondage^G1402 in^G1722 such^G5108 cases: but^G1161 God^G2316 hath called^G2564 us^G2248 to^G1722 peace^G1515.¹⁶For^G1063 what^G5101 knowest thou^G1492, O wife^G1135, whether^G1487 thou shalt save^G4982 thy husband^G435? or^G2228 how^G5101 knowest thou^G1492, O man^G435, whether^G1487 thou shalt save^G4982 thy wife^G1135?¹⁷But^G1508 as^G5613 God^G2316 hath distributed^G3307 to every man^G1538, as^G5613 the Lord^G2962 hath called^G2564 every one^G1538, so^G3779 let him walk^G4043. And^G2532 so^G3779 ordain I^G1299 in^G1722 all^G3956 churches^G1577.¹⁸Is^G2564 any man^G5100 called^G2564 being circumcised^G4059? let him^G1986 not^G3361 become uncircumcised^G1986. Is^G2564 any^G5100 called^G2564 in^G1722 uncircumcision^G203? let him^G4059 not^G3361 be circumcised^G4059.¹⁹Circumcision^G4061 is^G2076 nothing^G3762, and^G2532 uncircumcision^G203 is^G2076 nothing^G3762, but^G235 the keeping^G5084 of the commandments^G1785 of God^G2316.²⁰Let^G3306 every man^G1538 abide^G3306 in^G1722 the same^G5026 calling^G2821 wherein^{G1722 G3739} he was called^G2564.²¹Art thou called^G2564 being a servant^G1401? care^{G3199 G4671} not^G3361 for it^G3199: but^G235 if^G1499 thou mayest^G1410 be made^G1096 free^G1658, use^G5530 it rather^G3123.²²For^G1063 he that is called^G2564 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962, being a servant^G1401, is^G2076 the Lord's^G2962 freeman^G558: likewise^G3668 also^G2532 he that is called^G2564, being free^G1658, is^G2076 Christ's^G5547 servant^G1401.²³Ye are bought^G59 with a price^G5092; be^G1096 not^G3361 ye^G1096 the servants^G1401 of men^G444.²⁴Brethren^G80, let^G3306 every man^G1538, wherein^{G1722 G3739} he is called^G2564, therein^{G1722 G5129} abide^G3306 with^G3844 God^G2316.²⁵Now^G1161 concerning^G4012 virgins^G3933 I have^G2192 no^G3756 commandment^G2003 of the Lord^G2962: yet^G1161 I give^G1325 my judgment^G1106, as^G5613 one that hath obtained mercy^G1653 of^G5259 the Lord^G2962 to be^G1511 faithful^G4103.²⁶I suppose^G3543 therefore^G3767 that this^G5124 is^G5225 good^G2570 for^G1223 the present^G1764 distress^G318, I say, that^G3754 it is good^G2570 for a man^G444 so^G3779 to be^G1511.²⁷Art thou bound^G1210 unto a wife^G1135? seek^G2212 not^G3361 to be loosed^G3080. Art thou loosed^G3089 from^G575 a wife^G1135? seek^G2212 not^G3361 a wife^G1135.²⁸But^G1161 and^G2532 if^G1437 thou marry^G1060, thou hast^G264 not^G3756 sinned^G264; and^G2532 if^G1437 a virgin^G3933 marry^G1060, she hath^G264 not^G3756 sinned^G264. Nevertheless^G1161 such^G5108 shall have^G2192 trouble^G2347 in the flesh^G4561: but^G1161 I^G1473 spare^G5339 you^G5216.²⁹But^G1161 this^G5124 I say^G5346, brethren^G80, the time^G2540 is short^G4958: it remaineth^{G2076 G3063}, that^G2443 both^G2532 they that have^G2192 wives^G1135 be^G5600 as though^G5613 they had^G2192 none^G3361;³⁰And^G2532 they that weep^G2799, as^G5613 though they wept^G2799 not^G3361; and^G2532 they that rejoice^G5463, as^G5613 though they rejoiced^G5463 not^G3361; and^G2532 they that buy^G59, as^G5613 though they possessed^G2722 not^G3361;³¹And^G2532 they that use^G5530 this^G5127 world^G2889, as^G5613 not^G3361 abusing^G2710 it: for^G1063 the fashion^G4976 of this^G5129 world^G2889 passeth away^G3855.³²But^G1161 I would have^{G1511 G2309} you^G5209 without carefulness^G275. He that is unmarried^G22 careth^G3309 for the things that belong to^G3588 the Lord^G2962, how^G4459 he may please^G700 the Lord^G2962:³³But^G1161 he that is married^G1060 careth^G3309 for the things that are^G3588 of the world^G2889, how^G4459 he may please^G700 his wife^G1135.³⁴There is difference also between^G3307 a wife^G1135 and^G2532 a virgin^G3933. The unmarried woman^G22 careth for^G3309 the things^G3588 of the Lord^G2962, that^G2443 she may be^G5600 holy^G40 both^G2532 in body^G4983 and^G2532 in spirit^G4151: but^G1161 she that is married^G1060 careth^G3309 for the things^G3588 of the world^G2889, how^G4459 she may please^G700 her husband^G435.³⁵And^G1161 this^G5124 I speak^G3004 for^G4314 your^G5216 own^G846 profit^G4851; not^G3756 that^G2443 I may cast^G1911 a snare^G1029 upon you^G5213, but^G235 for that which^G4314 is comely^G2158, and^G2532 that ye may attend upon^G2145 the Lord^G2962 without distraction^G563.³⁶But^G1161 if any man^G1536 think^G3543 that he behaveth himself uncomely^G807 toward^G1909 his^G846 virgin^G3933, if^G1437 she pass the flower of her age^{G5230 G5600}, and^G2532 need^G3784 so^G3779 require^G1096, let him do^G4160 what^G3739 he will^G2309, he sinneth^G264 not^G3756: let them marry^G1060.³⁷Nevertheless^G1161 he^G3739 that standeth^G2476 stedfast^G1476 in^G1722 his heart^G2588, having^G2192 no^G3361 necessity^G318, but^G1161 hath^G2192 power^G1849 over^G4012 his own^G2398 will^G2307, and^G2532 hath^G2919 so^G5124 decreed^G2919 in^G1722 his^G846 heart^G2588 that he will keep^G5083 his^G1438 virgin^G3933, doeth^G4160 well^G2573.³⁸So^G5620 then^G2532 he that giveth her in marriage^G1547 doeth^G4160 well^G2573; but^G1161 he that giveth her^G1547 not^G3361 in marriage^G1547 doeth^G4160 better^G2908.³⁹The wife^G1135 is bound^G1210 by the law^{G3551 G1909} as long^G5550 as^G3745 her^G846 husband^G435 liveth^G2198; but^G1161 if^G1437 her^G846 husband^G435 be dead^G2837, she is^G2076 at liberty^G1658 to be married^G1060 to whom^G3739 she will^G2309; only^G3440 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962.⁴⁰But^G1161 she is^G2076 happier^G3107 if^G1437 she^G3306 so^G3779 abide^G3306, after^G2596 my^G1699 judgment^G1106: and^G1161 I think^G1380 also^G2504 that I have^G2192 the Spirit^G4151 of God^G2316.
