1 Corinthians 7:2-16
2But, because of fornications, let each manG435 have his ownG2398 wifeG1135, and let each womanG1135 have her ownG2398 husbandG435. 3Let the husbandG435 renderG591 unto the wifeG1135 her due: and likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the wifeG1135 unto the husbandG435. 4The wifeG1135 hath not power over her ownG2398 bodyG4983, but the husbandG435: and likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the husbandG435 hath not power over his ownG2398 bodyG4983, but the wifeG1135. 5DefraudG650 ye not oneG240 the other, except it beG1510 by consent for a seasonG2540, that ye may give yourselves unto prayerG4335, and may beG1510 together againG3825, that SatanG4567 temptG3985 you not because of your incontinency. 6But this I sayG3004 by way of concession, not of commandmentG2003. 7Yet I wouldG2309 that all menG444 wereG1510 evenG2532 as I myself. Howbeit each manG444 hath his ownG2398 giftG5486 from GodG2316, oneG1538 after this mannerG3779, and another after that.
8But I sayG3004 to the unmarriedG22 and to widowsG5503, It is goodG2570 for them if they abideG3306 evenG2532 as I. 9But if they have not continency, let them marryG1060: for it isG1510 better to marryG1060 than to burnG4448. 10But unto the marriedG1060 I give chargeG3853, yea not I, but the LordG2962, That the wifeG1135 depart not from her husbandG435 11(but should she depart, let her remainG3306 unmarriedG22, or else be reconciled to her husbandG435); and that the husbandG435 leaveG863 not his wifeG1135. 12But to the restG3062 sayG3004 I, not the LordG2962: If any brotherG80 hath an unbelievingG571 wifeG1135, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leaveG863 her. 13And the womanG1135 that hath an unbelievingG571 husbandG435, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leaveG863 her husbandG435. 14For the unbelievingG571 husbandG435 isG1510 sanctifiedG37 in the wifeG1135, and the unbelievingG571 wifeG1135 isG1510 sanctifiedG37 in the brotherG80: else wereG1510 your childrenG5043 uncleanG169; but nowG1161 areG1510 they holyG40. 15Yet if the unbelievingG571 departeth, let him depart: the brotherG80 or the sisterG79 is not under bondageG1402 in suchG5108 cases: but GodG2316 hath calledG2564 us in peaceG1515. 16For how knowest thou, O wifeG1135, whether thou shalt saveG4982 thy husbandG435? or how knowest thou, O husbandG435, whether thou shalt saveG4982 thy wifeG1135?
