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 .
