1 Corinthians 7:9-31

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

17ButG1508 asG5613 GodG2316 hath distributedG3307 to every manG1538, asG5613 the LordG2962 hath calledG2564 every oneG1538, soG3779 let him walkG4043. AndG2532 soG3779 I ordainG1299 inG1722 allG3956 churchesG1577. 18IsG2564 any manG5100 calledG2564 being circumcisedG4059? let himG1986 notG3361 become uncircumcisedG1986. IsG2564 anyG5100 calledG2564 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203? let himG4059 notG3361 become circumcisedG4059. 19CircumcisionG4061 isG2076 nothingG3762, andG2532 uncircumcisionG203 isG2076 nothingG3762, butG235 the keepingG5084 of the commandmentsG1785 of GodG2316. 20LetG3306 every manG1538 remainG3306 inG1722 the sameG5026 callingG2821 inG1722 whichG3739 he was calledG2564. 21Art thou calledG2564 being a servantG1401? careG3199G4671 notG3361 for itG3199: butG235 ifG1499 thou mayestG1410 be madeG1096 freeG1658, useG5530 it ratherG3123. 22ForG1063 he that is calledG2564 inG1722 the LordG2962, being a servantG1401, isG2076 the Lord’sG2962 freemanG558: likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 he that is calledG2564, being freeG1658, isG2076 Christ’sG5547 servantG1401.3 23Ye are boughtG59 with a priceG5092; beG1096 notG3361 yeG1096 the servantsG1401 of menG444. 24BrethrenG80, letG3306 every manG1538, in the state inG1722 whichG3739 he is calledG2564, continueG3306 inG1722 itG5129 withG3844 GodG2316.

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 beG1511.4 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.
