1 Corinthians 7:25-38

25NowG1161 concerningG4012 virginsG3933 I haveG2192 noG3756 commandmentG2003 of the LordG2962: yetG1161 I giveG1325 my judgmentG1106, asG5613 one that hath obtained mercyG1653 fromG5259 the LordG2962 to beG1511 faithfulG4103. 26I supposeG3543 thereforeG3767 that thisG5124 isG5225 goodG2570 forG1223 the presentG1764 distressG318, I say, thatG3754 it is goodG2570 for a manG444 soG3779 to beG1511.1 27Art thou boundG1210 to a wifeG1135? seekG2212 notG3361 to be loosedG3080. Art thou loosedG3089 fromG575 a wifeG1135? seekG2212 notG3361 a wifeG1135. 28ButG1161G2532 ifG1437 thou marryG1060, thou hastG264 notG3756 sinnedG264; andG2532 ifG1437 a virginG3933 marryG1060, she hathG264 notG3756 sinnedG264. NeverthelessG1161 suchG5108 shall haveG2192 troubleG2347 in the fleshG4561: butG1161 IG1473 spareG5339 youG5216. 29ButG1161 thisG5124 I sayG5346, brethrenG80, the timeG2540 is shortG4958: it remainethG2076G3063, thatG2443 bothG2532 they that haveG2192 wivesG1135 beG5600 as thoughG5613 they hadG2192 noneG3361; 30AndG2532 they that weepG2799, asG5613 though they weptG2799 notG3361; andG2532 they that rejoiceG5463, asG5613 though they rejoicedG5463 notG3361; andG2532 they that buyG59, asG5613 though they possessedG2722 notG3361; 31AndG2532 they that useG5530 thisG5127 worldG2889, asG5613 notG3361 abusingG2710 it : forG1063 the fashionG4976 of thisG5129 worldG2889 passeth awayG3855. 32ButG1161 I would haveG1511G2309 youG5209 without careG275. He that is unmarriedG22 carethG3309 for the things that belong toG3588 the LordG2962, howG4459 he may pleaseG700 the LordG2962:2 33ButG1161 he that is marriedG1060 carethG3309 for the things that areG3588 of the worldG2889, howG4459 he may pleaseG700 his wifeG1135. 34There is a difference also betweenG3307 a wifeG1135 andG2532 a virginG3933. The unmarried womanG22 careth forG3309 the thingsG3588 of the LordG2962, thatG2443 she may beG5600 holyG40 bothG2532 in bodyG4983 andG2532 in spiritG4151: butG1161 she that is marriedG1060 carethG3309 for the thingsG3588 of the worldG2889, howG4459 she may pleaseG700 her husbandG435. 35AndG1161 thisG5124 I speakG3004 forG4314 yourG5216 ownG846 profitG4851; notG3756 thatG2443 I may castG1911 a snareG1029 upon youG5213, butG235 for that whichG4314 is seemlyG2158, andG2532 that ye may attend uponG2145 the LordG2962 without distractionG563.

36ButG1161 if any manG1536 thinkethG3543 that he behaveth himself unseemlyG807 towardG1909 hisG846 virginG3933, ifG1437 she hath passed the flower of her ageG5230G5600, andG2532 needG3784 soG3779 requirethG1096, let him doG4160 whatG3739 he willG2309, he sinnethG264 notG3756: let them marryG1060. 37NeverthelessG1161 heG3739 that standethG2476 steadfastG1476 inG1722 his heartG2588, havingG2192 noG3361 necessityG318, butG1161 hathG2192 powerG1849 overG4012 his ownG2398 willG2307, andG2532 hathG2919 soG5124 decreedG2919 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588 that he will keepG5083 hisG1438 virginG3933, doethG4160 wellG2573. 38SoG5620 thenG2532 he that giveth her in marriageG1547 doethG4160 wellG2573; butG1161 he that giveth her notG3361 in marriageG1547 doethG4160 betterG2908.
