2 But , because of fornications , let each man G435 have his own ἴδιον idion G2398 wife γυναῖκα gunaika G1135 , and let each woman G1135 have her own G2398 husband ἄνδρα andra G435 . 3 Let the husband ἀνὴρ anēr G435 render G591 unto the wife γυναικὶ gunaiki G1135 her due : and likewise ὁμοίως homoiōs G3668 also καὶ kai G2532 the wife γυνὴ gunē G1135 unto the husband ἀνδρί. andri G435 . 4 The wife γυνὴ gunē G1135 hath not power over her own ἰδίου idiou G2398 body σώματος sōmatos G4983 , but the husband ἀνήρ· anēr G435 : and likewise ὁμοίως homoiōs G3668 also καὶ kai G2532 the husband ἀνὴρ anēr G435 hath not power over his own ἰδίου idiou G2398 body σώματος sōmatos G4983 , but the wife γυνή. gunē G1135 . 5 Defraud G650 ye not one ἀλλήλους allēlous G240 the other , except it be ἦτε, ēte G1510 by consent for a season G2540 , that ye may give yourselves unto prayer προσευχῇ proseuchēa G4335 , and may be G1510 together again πάλιν palin G3825 , that Satan σατανᾶς satanas G4567 tempt G3985 you not because of your incontinency. 6 But this I say λέγω legō G3004 by way of concession , not of commandment G2003 . 9 But if they have not continency, let them marry γαμησάτωσαν· gamēsatōsan G1060 : for it is G1510 better to marry γαμῆσαι gamēsai G1060 than to burn πυροῦσθαι.¶ purousthai G4448 . 10 But unto the married G1060 I give charge παραγγέλλω parangellō G3853 , yea not I , but the Lord κύριος, kurios G2962 , That the wife γυναῖκα gunaika G1135 depart not from her husband ἀνδρὸς andros G435 11 ( but should she depart, let her remain μενέτω menetō G3306 unmarried ἄγαμος agamos G22 , or else be reconciled to her husband ἀνδρὶ andri G435 ); and that the husband ἄνδρα andra G435 leave G863 not his wife γυναῖκα gunaika G1135 . 12 But to the rest λοιποῖς loipois G3062 say λέγω legō G3004 I , not the Lord κύριος, kurios G2962 : If any brother ἀδελφὸς adelphos G80 hath an unbelieving ἄπιστον apiston G571 wife γυναῖκα gunaika G1135 , and she is content to dwell with him , let him not leave G863 her . 13 And the woman γυνὴ gunē G1135 that hath an unbelieving ἄπιστον apiston G571 husband ἄνδρα andra G435 , and he is content to dwell with her , let her not leave G863 her husband ἄνδρα. andra G435 . 15 Yet if the unbelieving G571 departeth, let him depart: the brother ἀδελφὸς adelphos G80 or the sister ἀδελφὴ adelphē G79 is not under bondage δεδούλωται dedoulōtai G1402 in such τοιούτοις· toioutois G5108 cases: but God θεός. theos G2316 hath called κέκληκεν keklēken G2564 us in peace εἰρήνῃ eirēnē G1515 . 16 For how knowest thou, O wife γύναι, gunai G1135 , whether thou shalt save σώσεις; sōseis G4982 thy husband ἄνδρα andra G435 ? or how knowest thou, O husband ἄνερ, aner G435 , whether thou shalt save σώσεις; sōseis G4982 thy wife γυναῖκα gunaika G1135 ? 17 Only εἰ ei G1487 , as the Lord κύριος, kurios G2962 hath distributed to each man G1538 , as God θεός, theos G2316 hath called κέκληκεν keklēken G2564 each , so let him walk περιπατείτω· peripateitō G4043 . And so ordain I in all the churches ἐκκλησίαις ekklēsiais G1577 . 18 Was any man called ἐκλήθη; eklēthē G2564 being circumcised G4059 ? let him not become uncircumcised . Hath any been called κέκληταί keklētai G2564 in uncircumcision ἀκροβυστίᾳ akrobustia G203 ? let him not be circumcised G4059 . 19 Circumcision περιτομὴ peritomē G4061 is G1510 nothing , and uncircumcision ἀκροβυστία akrobustia G203 is G1510 nothing ; but the keeping of the commandments ἐντολῶν entolōn G1785 of God θεοῦ. theou G2316 . 21 Wast thou called ἐκλήθης; eklēthēs G2564 being a bondservant? care G3199 not for it : nay, even καὶ kai G2532 if thou canst become γενέσθαι, genesthai G1096 free ἐλεύθερος eleutheros G1658 , use G5530 it rather μᾶλλον mallon G3123 . 24 Brethren , let each man G3778 , wherein he was called ἐκλήθη, eklēthē G2564 , therein abide μενέτω menetō G3306 with God θεῷ.¶ theō G2316 . 28 But shouldest thou marry γαμήσῃς, gamēsēs G1060 , thou hast not sinned ἥμαρτες· hēmartes G264 ; and if a virgin παρθένος, parthenos G3933 marry γήμῃ gēmē G1060 , she hath not sinned ἥμαρτεν· hēmarten G264 . Yet such τοιοῦτοι· toioutoi G5108 shall have tribulation θλῖψιν thlipsin G2347 in the flesh σαρκὶ sarki G4561 : and I would spare G5339 you . 29 But this I say φημι, phēmi G5346 , brethren , the time G2540 is G1510 shortened , that henceforth both those that have wives G1135 may be G1510 as though they had none ; 30 and those that weep κλαίοντες klaiontes G2799 , as though they wept κλαίοντες, klaiontes G2799 not ; and those that rejoice G5463 , as though they rejoiced G5463 not ; and those that buy ἀγοράζοντες agorazontes G59 , as though they possessed not ; 31 and those that use G5530 the world κόσμον kosmon G2889 , as not using it to the full : for the fashion of this world κόσμου kosmou G2889 passeth away παράγει paragei G3855 . 32 But I would have you to be G1510 free from cares. He that is G1510 unmarried ἄγαμος agamos G22 is G1510 careful for the things of the Lord κυρίου, kuriou G2962 , how πῶς pōs G4459 he may please ἀρέσῃ aresē G700 the Lord κυρίῳ· kuriō G2962 : 33 but he that is married G1060 is careful for the things of the world κόσμου, kosmou G2889 , how πῶς pōs G4459 he may please ἀρέσῃ aresē G700 his wife γυναικί, gunaiki G1135 , 35 And this I say λέγω, legō G3004 for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you , but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord κυρίῳ kuriō G2962 without distraction. 36 But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin παρθένον parthenon G3933 daughter, if she be ᾖ ē G1510 past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will ; he sinneth not ; let them marry γαμείτωσαν. gameitōsan G1060 . 37 But he that standeth stedfast in his heart καρδίᾳ kardia G2588 , having no necessity ἀνάγκην, anagkēn G318 , but hath power G1849 as touching his own ἰδίου idiou G2398 will , and hath determined this in his own ἰδίᾳ idia G2398 heart καρδίᾳ kardia G2588 , to keep τηρεῖν tērein G5083 his own G2398 virgin παρθένον, parthenon G3933 daughter, shall do well καλῶς kalōs G2573 . 38 So then both he that giveth his own ἑαυτοῦ he'autou G1438 virgin παρθένον parthenon G3933 daughter in marriage doeth well καλῶς kalōs G2573 ; and he that giveth her not in marriage shall do better . ← 1 Corinthians 6 1 Corinthians 8 → Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 7 American Standard Version — 1901 — Public Domain
