1 Corinthians 7:9-31

9But if they have not control over themselves, let them marryG1060; for it isG1510 better to marryG1060 than to burnG4448.

10But to the marriedG1060 I enjoin, not I, but the LordG2962, Let not wifeG1135 be separatedG5563 from husbandG435;

11(but if alsoG2532 she shall have been separatedG5563, let her remainG3306 unmarriedG22, or be reconciled to her husbandG435;) and let not husbandG435 leaveG863 wifeG1135.

12But as to the restG3062, I sayG3004, not the LordG2962, If any brotherG80 have an unbelievingG571 wifeG1135, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not leaveG863 her.

13And a womanG1135 who has an unbelievingG571 husbandG435, and he consentsG4909 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; since [otherwiseG1893] indeed your childrenG5043 areG1510 uncleanG169, but nowG1161 they areG1510 holyG40.

15But if the unbelieverG571 go away, let them go away; a brotherG80 or a sisterG79 is not bound in suchG5108 [cases], but 1GodG2316 has calledG2564 us in peaceG1515.

16For what knowest thou, O wifeG1135, if thou shalt saveG4982 thy husbandG435? or what knowest thou, O husbandG435, if thou shalt saveG4982 thy wifeG1135?

17However, as the LordG2962 has divided to each, as 2GodG2316 has calledG2564 each, so let him walkG4043; and thusG3779 I ordain in all the assemblies.

18Has any oneG5100 been calledG2564 circumcisedG4059? let him not become uncircumcised: has any oneG5100 been calledG2564 in uncircumcisionG203? let him not be circumcisedG4059.

19CircumcisionG4061 isG1510 nothing, and uncircumcisionG203 isG1510 nothing; but keeping 3God's commandmentsG1785.

20Let each abideG3306 in that callingG2821 in which he has been calledG2564.

21Hast thou been calledG2564 [being] a bondman, let it not concern thee; but and if thou canst becomeG1096 freeG1658, useG5530 [it] ratherG3123.

22For the bondman that isG1510 calledG2564 in [the] LordG2962 isG1510 the Lord's freedman; in like manner [also] the freeman beingG1510 calledG2564 isG1510 Christ's bondman.

23Ye have been boughtG59 with a priceG5092; do not be the bondmen of menG444.

24Let each, wherein he is calledG2564, brethren, therein abideG3306 with 4GodG2316.

25But concerningG4012 virginsG3933, I have no commandmentG2003 of [the] LordG2962; but I giveG1325 my opinion, as having received mercyG1653 of [the] LordG2962 to beG1510 faithfulG4103.

26I thinkG3543 thenG3767 that this isG1510 goodG2570, on accountG1223 of the presentG1764 necessityG318, that [it isG1510] goodG2570 for a manG444 to remain so as he isG1510.

27Art thou boundG1210 to a wifeG1135? seekG2212 not to be loosedG3089; art thou free from a wifeG1135? do not seekG2212 a wifeG1135.

28But if thou shouldest alsoG2532 marryG1060, thou hast not sinnedG264; and if the virginG3933 marryG1060, they have not sinnedG264: but suchG5108 shall have tribulationG2347 in the fleshG4561; but I spareG5339 you.

29But this I sayG5346, brethren, the timeG2540 isG1510 straitened. For the rest, that they who have wivesG1135, beG1510 as not having [any]:

30and they that weepG2799, as not weepingG2799; and they that rejoiceG5463, as not rejoicingG5463; and they that buyG59, as not possessing;

31and they that useG5530 the worldG2889, as not disposing of it as their own; for the fashion of this worldG2889 passes.
