[1] Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman. [2] But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. [3] Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her,‡ and likewise also the wife her husband. [4] The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does. [5] Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control. [6] But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment. [7] Yet I wish that all men were like me. However, each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind. [8] But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am. [9] But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion. [10] But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband [11] (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife. [12] But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her. [13] The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband. [14] For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. [15] Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace. [16] For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? [17] Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies. [18] Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised. [19] Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments. [20] Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called. [21] Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it. [22] For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord’s free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ’s bondservant. [23] You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men. [24] Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God. [25] Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy. [26] Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to remain as he is. [27] Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife. [28] But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you. [29] But I say this, brothers: the time is short. From now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none; [30] and those who weep, as though they didn’t weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn’t rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn’t possess; [31] and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away. [32] But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; [33] but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife. [34] There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband. [35] This I say for your own benefit, not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction. [36] But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn’t sin. Let them marry. [37] But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well. [38] So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does better. [39] A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord. [40] But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.

Questions Regarding Marriage

[1] Now G1161 concerning G4012 the things whereof G3739 ye wrote G1125 unto me: G3427 It is good G2570 for a man G444 not G3361 to touch G680 a woman. G1135 [2] G1223 Nevertheless, G1161 to avoid fornication, G4202 let G2192 every man G1538 have G2192 his own G1438 wife, G1135 and G2532 let G2192 every woman G1538 have G2192 her own G2398 husband. G435 [3] Let G591 the G3588 husband G435 render G591 unto the G3588 wife G1135 due G3784 benevolence: G2133 and G1161 likewise G3668 also G2532 the G3588 wife G1135 unto the G3588 husband. G435 [4] The G3588 wife G1135 hath G1850 not G3756 power G1850 of her own G2398 body, G4983 but G235 the G3588 husband: G435 and G1161 likewise G3668 also G2532 the G3588 husband G435 hath G1850 not G3756 power G1850 of his own G2398 body, G4983 but G235 the G3588 wife. G1135 [5] Defraud ye G650 not G3361 one the other, G240 except G1487 G3361 G5100 G302 it be with G1537 consent G4859 for G4314 a time, G2540 that G2443 ye may give yourselves G4980 to fasting G3521 and G2532 prayer; G4335 and G2532 come G4905 together G1909 G846 again, G3825 that G2443 Satan G4567 tempt G3985 you G5209 not G3361 for G1223 your G5216 incontinency. G192 [6] But G1161 I speak G3004 this G5124 by G2596 permission, G4774 and not G3756 of G2596 commandment. G2003 [7] For G1063 I would G2309 that all G3956 men G444 were G1511 even G2532 as G5613 I myself. G1683 But G235 every man G1538 hath G2192 his proper G2398 gift G5486 of G1537 God, G2316 one G3739 G3303 after this manner, G3779 and G1161 another G3739 after that. G3779 [8] I say G3004 therefore G1161 to the G3588 unmarried G22 and G2532 widows, G5503 It is G2076 good G2570 for them G846 if G1437 they abide G3306 even G2504 as G5613 I. G2504 [9] But G1161 if G1487 they G1467 cannot G3756 contain, G1467 let them marry: G1060 for G1063 it is G2076 better G2908 to marry G1060 than G2228 to burn. G4448 [10] And G1161 unto the G3588 married G1060 I command, G3853 yet not G3756 I, G1473 but G235 the G3588 Lord, G2962 Let G5563 not G3361 the wife G1135 depart G5563 from G575 her husband: G435 [11] but G1161 and G2532 if G1437 she depart, G5563 let her remain G3306 unmarried, G22 or G2228 be reconciled G2644 to her husband: G435 and G2532 let G863 not G3361 the husband G435 put away G863 his wife. G1135 [12] But G1161 to the G3588 rest G3062 speak G3004 I, G1473 not G3756 the G3588 Lord: G2962 If G1487 any G5100 brother G80 hath G2192 a wife G1135 that believeth not, G571 and G2532 she G846 be pleased G4909 to dwell G3611 with G3326 him, G846 let him G863 not G3361 put G863 her G846 away. G863 [13] And G2532 the woman G1135 which G3748 hath G2192 an husband G435 that believeth not, G571 and G2532 if he G846 be pleased G4909 to dwell G3611 with G3326 her, G846 let her G863 not G3361 leave G863 him. G846 [14] For G1063 the G3588 unbelieving G571 husband G435 is sanctified G37 by G1722 the G3588 wife, G1135 and G2532 the G3588 unbelieving G571 wife G1135 is sanctified G37 by G1722 the G3588 husband: G435 else G1893 G686 were G2076 your G5216 children G5043 unclean; G169 but G1161 now G3568 are they G2076 holy. G40 [15] But G1161 if G1487 the G3588 unbelieving G571 depart, G5563 let him depart. G5563 A G3588 brother G80 or G2228 a G3588 sister G79 is G1402 not G3756 under bondage G1402 in G1722 such G5108 cases: but G1161 God G2316 hath called G2564 us G2248 to G1722 peace. G1515§ [16] For G1063 what G5101 knowest thou, G1492 O wife, G1135 whether G1487 thou shalt save G4982 thy husband? G435 or G2228 how G5101 knowest thou, G1492 O man, G435 whether G1487 thou shalt save G4982 thy wife? G1135 [17] But G1487 G3361 as G5613 God G2316 hath distributed G3307 to every man, G1538 as G5613 the G3588 Lord G2962 hath called G2564 every one, G1538 so G3779 let him walk. G4043 And G2532 so G3779 ordain I G1299 in G1722 all G3956 churches. G1577 [18] Is G2564 any man G5100 called G2564 being circumcised? G4059 let him G1986 not G3361 become uncircumcised. G1986 Is G2564 any G5100 called G2564 in G1722 uncircumcision? G203 let him G4059 not G3361 be circumcised. G4059 [19] Circumcision G4061 is G2076 nothing, G3762 and G2532 uncircumcision G203 is G2076 nothing, G3762 but G235 the keeping G5084 of the commandments G1785 of God. G2316 [20] Let G3306 every man G1538 abide G3306 in G1722 the same G3778 calling G2821 wherein G3739 he was called. G2564 G1722 [21] Art thou called G2564 being a servant? G1401 care G3199 not G3361 G4671 for it: G3199 but G235 if G1487 thou mayest G1410 be made G1096 free, G1658 use G5530 it rather. G3123 [22] For G1063 he that G3588 is called G2564 in G1722 the Lord, G2962 being a servant, G1401 is G2076 the Lord’s G2962 freeman: G558 likewise G3668 also G2532 he that G3588 is called, G2564 being free, G1658 is G2076 Christ’s G5547 servant. G1401 [23] Ye are bought G59 with a price; G5092 be G1096 not G3361 ye G1096 the servants G1401 of men. G444 [24] Brethren, G80 let G3306 every man, G1538 wherein G1722 G3739 he is called, G2564 therein G1722 G5129 abide G3306 with G3844 God. G2316 [25] Now G1161 concerning G4012 virgins G3933 I have G2192 no G3756 commandment G2003 of the Lord: G2962 yet G1161 I give G1325 my judgment, G1106 as G5613 one that hath obtained mercy G1653 of G5259 the Lord G2962 to be G1511 faithful. G4103 [26] I suppose G3543 therefore G3767 that this G5124 is G5225 good G2570 for G1223 the G3588 present G1764 distress, G318§ I say, that G3754 it is good G2570 for a man G444 so G3779 to be. G1511 [27] Art thou bound G1210 unto a wife? G1135 seek G2212 not G3361 to be loosed. G3080 Art thou loosed G3089 from G575 a wife? G1135 seek G2212 not G3361 a wife. G1135 [28] But G1161 and G2532 if G1437 thou marry, G1060 thou hast G264 not G3756 sinned; G264 and G2532 if G1437 a G3588 virgin G3933 marry, G1060 she hath G264 not G3756 sinned. G264 Nevertheless G1161 such G5108 shall have G2192 trouble G2347 in the G3588 flesh: G4561 but G1161 I G1473 spare G5339 you. G5216 [29] But G1161 this G5124 I say, G5346 brethren, G80 G3754 the G3588 time G2540 is short: G4958 it remaineth, G3063 G2076 that G2443 both G2532 they that G3588 have G2192 wives G1135 be G5600 as though G5613 they had G2192 none; G3361 [30] and G2532 they that G3588 weep, G2799 as G5613 though they wept G2799 not; G3361 and G2532 they that G3588 rejoice, G5463 as G5613 though they rejoiced G5463 not; G3361 and G2532 they that G3588 buy, G59 as G5613 though they possessed G2722 not; G3361 [31] and G2532 they that G3588 use G5530 this G5129 world, G2889 as G5613 not G3361 abusing G2710 it: for G1063 the G3588 fashion G4976 of this G5127 world G2889 passeth away. G3855 [32] But G1161 I would have G2309 you G5209 without carefulness. G275 G1511 He that G3588 is unmarried G22 careth G3309 for the things that belong to G3588 the G3588 Lord, G2962 how G4459 he may please G700 the G3588 Lord: G2962 [33] but G1161 he that G3588 is married G1060 careth G3309 for the things that are G3588 of the G3588 world, G2889 how G4459 he may please G700 his wife. G1135 [34] There is difference also between G3307 a G3588 wife G1135 and G2532 a G3588 virgin. G3933 The G3588 unmarried woman G22 careth for G3309 the things G3588 of the G3588 Lord, G2962 that G2443 she may be G5600 holy G40 both G2532 in body G4983 and G2532 in spirit: G4151 but G1161 she that G3588 is married G1060 careth G3309 for the things G3588 of the G3588 world, G2889 how G4459 she may please G700 her husband. G435 [35] And G1161 this G5124 I speak G3004 for G4314 your G5216 own G846 profit; G4851 not G3756 that G2443 I may cast G1911 a snare G1029 upon you, G5213 but G235 for G4314 that which G3588 is comely, G2158 and G2532 that ye may attend upon G2145 the G3588 Lord G2962 without distraction. G563 [36] But G1161 if G1487 any man G5100 think G3543 that he behaveth himself uncomely G807 toward G1909 his G846 virgin, G3933 if G1437 she pass the flower of G5230 her age, G5600 and G2532 need G3784 so G3779 require, G1096 let him do G4160 what G3739 he will, G2309 he sinneth G264 not: G3756 let them marry. G1060 [37] Nevertheless G1161 he that G3739 standeth G2476 stedfast G1476 in G1722 his G3588 heart, G2588 having G2192 no G3361 necessity, G318 but G1161 hath G2192 power G1849 over G4012 his own G2398 will, G2307 and G2532 hath G2919 so G5124 decreed G2919 in G1722 his G846 heart G2588 that he will keep G5083 his G1438 virgin, G3933 doeth G4160 well. G2573 [38] So then G5620 he that G3588 giveth her in marriage G1547 doeth G4160 well; G2573 but G1161 he that G3588 giveth G1547 her not G3361 in marriage G1547 doeth G4160 better. G2908 [39] The wife G1135 is bound G1210 by the law G3551 as long as G1909 G3745 G5550 her G846 husband G435 liveth; G2198 but G1161 if G1437 her G846 husband G435 be dead, G2837 she is G2076 at liberty G1658 to be married G1060 to whom G3739 she will; G2309 only G3440 in G1722 the Lord. G2962 [40] But G1161 she is G2076 happier G3107 if G1437 she G3306 so G3779 abide, G3306 after G2596 my G1699 judgment: G1106 and G1161 I think G1380 also G2504 that I G2504 have G2192 the Spirit G4151 of God.
