1 Corinthians 7:2-16

2NeverthelessG1223G1161, to avoid immoralityG4202, letG2192 every manG1538 haveG2192 his ownG1438 wifeG1135, andG2532 letG2192 every womanG1538 haveG2192 her ownG2398 husbandG435. 3LetG591 the husbandG435 renderG591 to the wifeG1135 her dueG3784 benevolenceG2133: andG1161 likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the wifeG1135 to the husbandG435. 4The wifeG1135 hathG1850 notG3756 powerG1850 of her ownG2398 bodyG4983, butG235 the husbandG435: andG1161 likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the husbandG435 hathG1850 notG3756 powerG1850 of his ownG2398 bodyG4983, butG235 the wifeG1135. 5Defraud yeG650 notG3361 one the otherG240, exceptG1509G302 it be withG1537 consentG4859 forG4314 a timeG2540, thatG2443 ye may give yourselvesG4980 to fastingG3521 andG2532 prayerG4335; andG2532 comeG4905 togetherG1909G846 againG3825, thatG3363 SatanG4567 may notG3363 temptG3985 youG5209 forG1223 yourG5216 lack of self-controlG192. 6ButG1161 I speakG3004 thisG5124 byG2596 permissionG4774, and notG3756 as aG2596 commandmentG2003. 7ForG1063 I wouldG2309 that allG3956 menG444 wereG1511G2532 asG5613 I myselfG1683. ButG235 every manG1538 hathG2192 his properG2398 giftG5486 fromG1537 GodG2316, oneG3739G3303 after this mannerG3779, andG1161 anotherG3739 after thatG3779. 8I sayG3004 thereforeG1161 to the unmarriedG22 andG2532 widowsG5503, It isG2076 goodG2570 for themG846 ifG1437 they remainG3306 evenG2504 asG5613 IG2504. 9ButG1161 ifG1487 theyG1467 cannotG3756 control themselvesG1467, let them marryG1060: forG1063 it isG2076 betterG2909 to marryG1060 thanG2228 to burnG4448.

10AndG1161 to the marriedG1060 I commandG3853, yet notG3756 IG1473, butG235 the LordG2962, LetG5563 notG3361 the wifeG1135 departG5563 fromG575 her husbandG435: 11ButG1161G2532 ifG1437 she shall departG5563, let her remainG3306 unmarriedG22, orG2228 be reconciledG2644 to her husbandG435: andG2532 letG863 notG3361 the husbandG435 put awayG863 his wifeG1135. 12ButG1161 to the restG3062 IG1473 speakG3004, notG3756 the LordG2962: If anyG1536 brotherG80 hathG2192 a wifeG1135 that believeth notG571, andG2532 sheG846 is pleasedG4909 to dwellG3611 withG3326 himG846, let himG863 notG3361 putG863 herG846 awayG863. 13AndG2532 the womanG1135 whoG3748 hathG2192 an husbandG435 that believeth notG571, andG2532 if heG846 is pleasedG4909 to dwellG3611 withG3326 herG846, let herG863 notG3361 leaveG863 himG846. 14ForG1063 the unbelievingG571 husbandG435 is sanctifiedG37 byG1722 the wifeG1135, andG2532 the unbelievingG571 wifeG1135 is sanctifiedG37 byG1722 the husbandG435: elseG686G1893 wereG2076 yourG5216 childrenG5043 uncleanG169; butG1161 nowG3568 are theyG2076 holyG40. 15ButG1161 ifG1487 the unbelievingG571 departethG5563, let him departG5563. A brotherG80 orG2228 a sisterG79 isG1402 notG3756 under bondageG1402 inG1722 suchG5108 cases : butG1161 GodG2316 hath calledG2564 usG2248 toG1722 peaceG1515.1 16ForG1063 howG5101 knowest thouG1492, O wifeG1135, whetherG1487 thou shalt saveG4982 thy husbandG435? orG2228 howG5101 knowest thouG1492, O manG435, whetherG1487 thou shalt saveG4982 thy wifeG1135?2
