1 Now|strong="G1161" concerning|strong="G4012" the|strong="G1161" things|strong="G3739" whereof|strong="G3739" ye|strong="G3739" wrote|strong="G1125" unto|strong="G1125" me: It|strong="G1161" is|strong="G3739" good|strong="G2570" for|strong="G4012" a|strong="G1161" man|strong="G3361" not|strong="G3361" to|strong="G3361" touch a|strong="G1161" woman|strong="G1135".
2 But|strong="G1161", because|strong="G1223" of|strong="G1223" fornications|strong="G4202", let|strong="G1161" each|strong="G1538" man|strong="G1538" have|strong="G2192" his|strong="G1438" own|strong="G2398" wife|strong="G1135", and|strong="G2532" let|strong="G1161" each|strong="G1538" woman|strong="G1135" have|strong="G2192" her|strong="G1438" own|strong="G2398" husband.
3 Let|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" husband render unto|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" wife|strong="G1135" due|strong="G3782" benevolence: and|strong="G2532" likewise|strong="G3668" also|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" wife|strong="G1135" unto|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" husband.
4 The|strong="G2532" wife|strong="G1135" hath|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" power|strong="G1850" over|strong="G1850" her|strong="G3588" own|strong="G2398" body|strong="G4983", but|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" husband: and|strong="G2532" likewise|strong="G3668" also|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" husband hath|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" power|strong="G1850" over|strong="G1850" his|strong="G2398" own|strong="G2398" body|strong="G4983", but|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" wife|strong="G1135".
5 Defraud ye|strong="G5210" not|strong="G3361" one|strong="G3588" the|strong="G2532" other|strong="G3825", except|strong="G1487" it|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1510" by|strong="G1223" consent|strong="G4859" for|strong="G1223" a|strong="G2532" season|strong="G2540", that|strong="G2443" ye|strong="G5210" may|strong="G2532" give yourselves|strong="G4771" unto|strong="G4314" fasting and|strong="G2532" prayer|strong="G4335", and|strong="G2532" may|strong="G2532" come|strong="G1510" together|strong="G1909" again|strong="G3825", that|strong="G2443" Satan|strong="G4567" tempt|strong="G3985" you|strong="G5210" not|strong="G3361" because|strong="G1223" of|strong="G1537" your|strong="G1223" incontinency.
6 But|strong="G1161" this|strong="G3778" I|strong="G1161" say|strong="G3004" by|strong="G2596" way|strong="G2596" of|strong="G2596" concession|strong="G4774", not|strong="G3756" of|strong="G2596" commandment|strong="G2003".
7 For|strong="G1161" I|strong="G2532" would|strong="G2309" that|strong="G3588" all|strong="G3956" men|strong="G3956" were|strong="G1510" even|strong="G2532" as|strong="G5613" I|strong="G2532" myself|strong="G1683". Howbeit|strong="G1161" each|strong="G1538" man|strong="G1538" hath|strong="G2192" his|strong="G3956" own|strong="G2398" gift|strong="G5486" from|strong="G1537" God|strong="G2316", one|strong="G1538" after|strong="G1161" this|strong="G3588" manner|strong="G3779", and|strong="G2532" another|strong="G3588" after|strong="G1161" that|strong="G3588".
8 But|strong="G1161" I|strong="G2532" say|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" unmarried and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" widows|strong="G5503", It|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" good|strong="G2570" for|strong="G1161" them|strong="G3588" if|strong="G1437" they|strong="G2532" abide|strong="G3306" even|strong="G2532" as|strong="G5613" I|strong="G2532".
9 But|strong="G1161" if|strong="G1487" they|strong="G1161" have|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" continency, let|strong="G1161" them|strong="G1510" marry|strong="G1060": for|strong="G1063" it|strong="G1161" is|strong="G1510" better|strong="G2909" to|strong="G3756" marry|strong="G1060" than|strong="G2228" to|strong="G3756" burn|strong="G4448".
10 But|strong="G1161" unto|strong="G3756" the|strong="G1161" married|strong="G1060" I|strong="G1473" give|strong="G3853" charge|strong="G3853", yea not|strong="G3756" I|strong="G1473", but|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1161" Lord|strong="G2962", That|strong="G3588" the|strong="G1161" wife|strong="G1135" depart|strong="G5563" not|strong="G3756" from|strong="G3756" her|strong="G3588" husband
11 (but|strong="G1161" should|strong="G3306" she|strong="G2532" depart|strong="G5563", let|strong="G1161" her|strong="G1437" remain|strong="G3306" unmarried, or|strong="G2228" else|strong="G2228" be|strong="G2532" reconciled|strong="G2644" to|strong="G2532" her|strong="G1437" husband); and|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" the|strong="G2532" husband leave|strong="G5563" not|strong="G3361" his|strong="G2532" wife|strong="G1135".
12 But|strong="G1161" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" rest|strong="G3062" say|strong="G3004" I|strong="G1473", not|strong="G3756" the|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G2962": If|strong="G1487" any|strong="G5100" brother hath|strong="G2192" an|strong="G2192" unbelieving wife|strong="G1135", and|strong="G2532" she|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" content to|strong="G2532" dwell|strong="G3611" with|strong="G3326" him|strong="G3588", let|strong="G1161" him|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3756" leave her|strong="G1438".
13 And|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" woman|strong="G1135" that|strong="G3588" hath|strong="G2192" an|strong="G2192" unbelieving husband, and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" content to|strong="G2532" dwell|strong="G3611" with|strong="G3326" her|strong="G2192", let|strong="G2192" her|strong="G2192" not|strong="G3361" leave him|strong="G3588".
14 For|strong="G1063" the|strong="G1722" unbelieving husband is|strong="G1510" sanctified in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" wife|strong="G1135", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" unbelieving wife|strong="G1135" is|strong="G1510" sanctified in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" husband: else|strong="G1893" were|strong="G1510" your|strong="G2532" children|strong="G5043" unclean; but|strong="G1161" now|strong="G1161" are|strong="G1510" they|strong="G2532" holy.
15 Yet|strong="G1161" if|strong="G1487" the|strong="G1722" unbelieving departeth, let|strong="G1161" him|strong="G3588" depart|strong="G5563": the|strong="G1722" brother or|strong="G2228" the|strong="G1722" sister is|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3756" under|strong="G1722" bondage|strong="G1402" in|strong="G1722" such|strong="G5108" cases: but|strong="G1161" God|strong="G2316" hath|strong="G2316" called|strong="G2564" us|strong="G2564" in|strong="G1722" peace|strong="G1515".
16 For|strong="G1063" how|strong="G5101" knowest|strong="G1492" thou|strong="G1487", O wife|strong="G1135", whether|strong="G1487" thou|strong="G1487" shalt|strong="G4982" save|strong="G4982" thy|strong="G3588" husband? or|strong="G2228" how|strong="G5101" knowest|strong="G1492" thou|strong="G1487", O husband, whether|strong="G1487" thou|strong="G1487" shalt|strong="G4982" save|strong="G4982" thy|strong="G3588" wife|strong="G1135"?
17 Only|strong="G1487", as|strong="G5613" God|strong="G2316" hath|strong="G2316" distributed|strong="G3307" to|strong="G2532" each|strong="G1538" man|strong="G1538", as|strong="G5613" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G2962" hath|strong="G2316" called|strong="G2564" each|strong="G1538", so|strong="G3779" let|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588" walk|strong="G4043". And|strong="G2532" so|strong="G3779" ordain|strong="G3779" I|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" all|strong="G3956" the|strong="G1722" churches|strong="G1577".
18 Was|strong="G2564" any|strong="G5100" man|strong="G5100" called|strong="G2564" being|strong="G1722" circumcised|strong="G4059"? let him|strong="G2564" not|strong="G3361" become|strong="G3361" uncircumcised|strong="G1986". Was|strong="G2564" any|strong="G5100" called|strong="G2564" in|strong="G1722" uncircumcision? let him|strong="G2564" not|strong="G3361" be|strong="G3361" circumcised|strong="G4059".
19 Circumcision|strong="G4061" is|strong="G1510" nothing|strong="G3762", and|strong="G2532" uncircumcision is|strong="G1510" nothing|strong="G3762"; but|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" keeping|strong="G5084" of|strong="G2316" the|strong="G2532" commandments|strong="G1785" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316".
20 Let|strong="G3306" each|strong="G1538" man|strong="G3778" abide|strong="G3306" in|strong="G1722" that|strong="G3739" calling|strong="G2821" wherein|strong="G1722" he|strong="G3739" was|strong="G3588" called|strong="G2564".
21 Wast thou|strong="G4771" called|strong="G2564" being|strong="G1096" a|strong="G1096" bondservant? care|strong="G3199" not|strong="G3361" for|strong="G2532" it|strong="G2532": nay, even|strong="G2532" if|strong="G1487" thou|strong="G4771" canst|strong="G1410" become|strong="G1096" free|strong="G1658", use|strong="G5530" it rather|strong="G3123".
22 For|strong="G1063" he|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" was|strong="G1510" called|strong="G2564" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G2962" being|strong="G1510" a|strong="G1722" bondservant, is|strong="G1510" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G2962"’s|strong="G2962" freedman: likewise|strong="G3668" also he|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" was|strong="G1510" called|strong="G2564" being|strong="G1510" free|strong="G1658", is|strong="G1510" Christ|strong="G5547"’s|strong="G2962" bondservant.
23 Ye|strong="G1096" were|strong="G1096" bought with|strong="G1096" a|strong="G1096" price|strong="G5092"; become|strong="G1096" not|strong="G3361" bondservants of|strong="G1401" men|strong="G1401".
24 Brethren, let|strong="G3306" each|strong="G1538" man|strong="G3778", wherein|strong="G1722" he|strong="G3739" was|strong="G3739" called|strong="G2564", therein|strong="G1722" abide|strong="G3306" with|strong="G1722" God|strong="G2316".
25 Now|strong="G1161" concerning|strong="G4012" virgins|strong="G3933" I|strong="G1161" have|strong="G2192" no|strong="G3756" commandment|strong="G2003" of|strong="G4012" the|strong="G1161" Lord|strong="G2962": but|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1161" give|strong="G1325" my|strong="G1325" judgment|strong="G1106", as|strong="G5613" one|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" hath|strong="G2192" obtained|strong="G2192" mercy|strong="G1653" of|strong="G4012" the|strong="G1161" Lord|strong="G2962" to|strong="G1325" be|strong="G1510" trustworthy|strong="G4103".
26 I|strong="G3754" think|strong="G3543" therefore|strong="G3767" that|strong="G3754" this|strong="G3778" is|strong="G1510" good|strong="G2570" by|strong="G1223" reason|strong="G1223" of|strong="G1223" the|strong="G1223" distress that|strong="G3754" is|strong="G1510" upon|strong="G3588" us, namely, that|strong="G3754" it|strong="G3754" is|strong="G1510" good|strong="G2570" for|strong="G3754" a|strong="G1510" man|strong="G3778" to|strong="G3778" be|strong="G1510" as|strong="G3779" he|strong="G3754" is|strong="G1510".
27 Art thou|strong="G2212" bound|strong="G1210" unto a|strong="G3361" wife|strong="G1135"? seek|strong="G2212" not|strong="G3361" to|strong="G2212" be|strong="G3361" loosed|strong="G3089". Art thou|strong="G2212" loosed|strong="G3089" from|strong="G3361" a|strong="G3361" wife|strong="G1135"? seek|strong="G2212" not|strong="G3361" a|strong="G3361" wife|strong="G1135".
28 But|strong="G1161" shouldest|strong="G2532" thou|strong="G4771" marry|strong="G1060", thou|strong="G4771" hast|strong="G2192" not|strong="G3756" sinned; and|strong="G2532" if|strong="G1437" a|strong="G2192" virgin|strong="G3933" marry|strong="G1060", she|strong="G2532" hath|strong="G2192" not|strong="G3756" sinned. Yet|strong="G2532" such|strong="G5108" shall|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2192" tribulation|strong="G2347" in|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" flesh|strong="G4561": and|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" would|strong="G2532" spare|strong="G5339" you|strong="G5210".
29 But|strong="G1161" this|strong="G3778" I|strong="G2532" say|strong="G5346", brethren|strong="G3588", the|strong="G2532" time|strong="G2540" is|strong="G1510" shortened|strong="G4958": henceforth|strong="G3063" it|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" such that|strong="G2443" both|strong="G2532" those|strong="G3588" that|strong="G2443" have|strong="G2192" wives|strong="G1135" may|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1510" as|strong="G5613" though|strong="G5613" they|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2192" none|strong="G3361";
30 and|strong="G2532" those|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" weep|strong="G2799", as|strong="G5613" though|strong="G5613" they|strong="G2532" wept|strong="G2799" not|strong="G3361"; and|strong="G2532" those|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" rejoice|strong="G5463", as|strong="G5613" though|strong="G5613" they|strong="G2532" rejoiced|strong="G5463" not|strong="G3361"; and|strong="G2532" those|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" buy, as|strong="G5613" though|strong="G5613" they|strong="G2532" possessed|strong="G2722" not|strong="G3361";
31 and|strong="G2532" those|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" use|strong="G5530" this|strong="G3778" world|strong="G2889", as|strong="G5613" not|strong="G3361" using|strong="G2710" it|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" full|strong="G2710": for|strong="G1063" the|strong="G2532" fashion|strong="G4976" of|strong="G2532" this|strong="G3778" world|strong="G2889" passeth|strong="G2889" away|strong="G3855".
32 But|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1161" would|strong="G2309" have|strong="G2309" you|strong="G5210" to|strong="G2309" be|strong="G1510" free from|strong="G3588" cares. He|strong="G1161" that|strong="G3588" is|strong="G1510" unmarried is|strong="G1510" careful|strong="G3309" for|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1161" things|strong="G3588" of|strong="G2962" the|strong="G1161" Lord|strong="G2962", how|strong="G4459" he|strong="G1161" shall|strong="G2962" please|strong="G2309" the|strong="G1161" Lord|strong="G2962":
33 but|strong="G1161" he|strong="G1161" that|strong="G3588" is|strong="G3588" married|strong="G1060" is|strong="G3588" careful|strong="G3309" for|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1161" things|strong="G3588" of|strong="G3588" the|strong="G1161" world|strong="G2889", how|strong="G4459" he|strong="G1161" shall|strong="G3588" please his|strong="G3588" wife|strong="G1135".
34 There|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2532" difference|strong="G3307" between|strong="G3307" both|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" wife|strong="G1135" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" virgin|strong="G3933". The|strong="G2532" unmarried|strong="G3933" is|strong="G1510" careful|strong="G3309" for|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" things|strong="G3588" of|strong="G4151" the|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G2962", that|strong="G2443" she|strong="G2532" may|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1510" holy|strong="G4151" both|strong="G2532" in|strong="G2532" body|strong="G4983" and|strong="G2532" in|strong="G2532" spirit|strong="G4151": but|strong="G1161" she|strong="G2532" that|strong="G2443" is|strong="G1510" married|strong="G1060" is|strong="G1510" careful|strong="G3309" for|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" things|strong="G3588" of|strong="G4151" the|strong="G2532" world|strong="G2889", how|strong="G4459" she|strong="G2532" shall|strong="G2532" please her|strong="G3588" husband.
35 And|strong="G2532" this|strong="G3778" I|strong="G2532" say|strong="G3004" for|strong="G4314" your|strong="G2962" own profit|strong="G4851"; not|strong="G3756" that|strong="G2443" I|strong="G2532" may|strong="G2532" cast|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" snare|strong="G1029" upon|strong="G3588" you|strong="G5210", but|strong="G1161" for|strong="G4314" that|strong="G2443" which|strong="G3588" is|strong="G3588" seemly, and|strong="G2532" that|strong="G2443" ye|strong="G5210" may|strong="G2532" attend upon|strong="G3588" the|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G2962" without|strong="G2532" distraction.
36 But|strong="G1161" if|strong="G1487" any|strong="G5100" man|strong="G5100" thinketh that|strong="G3739" he|strong="G2532" behaveth himself unseemly toward|strong="G1909" his|strong="G1909" virgin|strong="G3933", if|strong="G1487" she|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1096" past|strong="G1096" the|strong="G2532" flower of|strong="G2532" her|strong="G1437" age|strong="G5230", and|strong="G2532" if|strong="G1487" need|strong="G1487" so|strong="G3779" requireth, let|strong="G1096" him|strong="G3588" do|strong="G4160" what|strong="G3739" he|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2309"; he|strong="G2532" sinneth not|strong="G3756"; let|strong="G1096" them|strong="G3588" marry|strong="G1060".
37 But|strong="G1161" he|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3739" standeth|strong="G2476" steadfast|strong="G1476" in|strong="G1722" his|strong="G1438" heart|strong="G2588", having|strong="G2192" no|strong="G3361" necessity, but|strong="G1161" hath|strong="G2192" power|strong="G1849" as|strong="G1722" touching|strong="G4012" his|strong="G1438" own|strong="G2398" will|strong="G2307", and|strong="G2532" hath|strong="G2192" determined|strong="G2919" this|strong="G3778" in|strong="G1722" his|strong="G1438" heart|strong="G2588", to|strong="G2532" keep|strong="G5083" his|strong="G1438" own|strong="G2398" virgin|strong="G3933", doeth|strong="G4160" well|strong="G2573".
38 So|strong="G2532" then|strong="G2532" even|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" giveth her in|strong="G2532" marriage|strong="G1061" doeth|strong="G4160" well|strong="G2573"; but|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" giveth her not|strong="G3361" in|strong="G2532" marriage|strong="G1061" doeth|strong="G4160" better|strong="G2909".
39 A|strong="G1722" wife|strong="G1135" is|strong="G1510" bound|strong="G1210" by|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" law for|strong="G1909" so|strong="G1161" long|strong="G5550" time|strong="G5550" as|strong="G3745" her|strong="G1437" husband liveth|strong="G2198"; but|strong="G1161" if|strong="G1437" the|strong="G1722" husband indeed|strong="G1161" be|strong="G1510" dead|strong="G2837", she|strong="G1161" is|strong="G1510" free|strong="G1658" to|strong="G1909" be|strong="G1510" married|strong="G1060" to|strong="G1909" whom|strong="G3739" she|strong="G1161" will|strong="G2309"; only|strong="G3440" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G2962".
