1 Corinthians 7:1-9

1NowG1161 concerning the thingsG4012 whereofG3739 ye wroteG1125 unto meG1473: It is goodG2570 for a manG444 notG3361 to touchG680 a womanG1135.

2NeverthelessG1161, to avoid fornicationG3588G4202, let every manG1538 haveG2192 his ownG1438 wifeG1135, andG2532 let every womanG1538 haveG2192 her ownG2398 husbandG435.

3Let the husbandG3588G435 renderG591 unto the wifeG3588G1135 dueG3784 benevolenceG2133: andG1161 likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the wifeG3588G1135 unto the husbandG3588G435.

4The wifeG3588G1135 hathG1850 notG3756 powerG1850 of her ownG2398 bodyG4983, butG235 the husbandG3588G435: andG1161 likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the husbandG3588G435 hathG1850 notG3756 powerG1850 of his ownG2398 bodyG4983, butG235 the wifeG3588G1135.

5Defraud yeG650 notG3361 one the otherG240, exceptG1487G3361 it be withG1537 consentG4859 forG4314 a timeG2540, thatG2443 ye may give yourselvesG4980 to fastingG3588G3521 andG2532 prayerG3588G4335; andG2532 come togetherG4905 againG3825, thatG2443 SatanG3588G4567 temptG3985 youG4771 notG3361 forG1223 yourG4771 incontinencyG3588G192.

6ButG1161 I speakG3004 thisG3778 byG2596 permissionG4774, and notG3756 ofG2596 commandmentG2003.

7ForG1063 I wouldG2309 that allG3956 menG444 wereG1510 evenG2532 asG5613 I myselfG1683. ButG235 every manG1538 hathG2192 hisG2398 proper giftG5486 ofG1537 GodG2316, oneG3739 after this mannerG3779, andG1161 anotherG3739 after thatG3779.

8I sayG3004 thereforeG1161 to the unmarriedG3588G22 andG2532 widowsG3588G5503, It isG1510 goodG2570 for themG846 ifG1437 they abideG3306 evenG5613 as IG2504.

9ButG1161 ifG1487 theyG1467 cannotG3756 containG1467, let them marryG1060: forG1063 it isG1510 betterG2908 to marryG1060 thanG2228 to burnG4448.
