1
Now
concerning
the things about which
you wrote,
it is good
for a man
not to touch
a woman.
2
But because
of immoralities,
each
man
is to have
his own
wife,
and
each
wo
man
is to have
her own
husband.
3
The husband
must
fulfill
his duty
to his wife,
and likewise
also
the wife
to her husband.
4
The wife
does not have
authority over
her own
body,
but
the husband
does; and likewise
also
the husband
does not have
authority over
his own
body,
but the wife
does.
5
Stop
depriving
one another,
except
by agreement
for a time,
so
that you may devote yourselves
to prayer,
and come
together
again
so
that Satan
will not tempt
you because
of your lack of self-control.
6
But this
I say
by way
of concession,
not of command.
7
Yet
I wish
that all
men
were even
as I myself
am. However,
each man
has
his own
gift
from God,
one
in this
manner,
and another
in that.
8
But I say
to the unmarried
and to widows
that it is good
for them if
they remain
even
as I.
9
But if
they do not have self-control,
let them marry;
for it is better
to marry
than
to burn
with passion.
10
But to the married
I give instructions,
not I, but the Lord,
that the wife
should not leave
her husband
11
(but if
she does leave,
she must remain
unmarried,
or else
be reconciled
to her husband),
and that the husband
should not divorce
his wife.
12
But to the rest
I say,
not the Lord,
that if
any
brother
has
a wife
who is an unbeliever,
and she consents
to live
with him, he must not divorce
her.
13
And a woman
who
has
an unbelieving
husband,
and he consents
to live
with her, she must not send
her husband
away.
14
For the unbelieving
husband
is sanctified
through
his
wife
,
and the unbelieving
wife
is sanctified
through
her believing
husband
;
for otherwise
your children
are unclean,
but now
they are holy.
15
Yet
if
the unbelieving one
leaves,
let him leave;
the brother
or
the sister
is not under bondage
in such
cases, but God
has called
us to peace.
16
For
how
do you know,
O wife,
whether
you will save
your husband?
Or
how
do you know,
O husband,
whether
you will save
your wife?
17
Only,
as the Lord
has assigned
to each
one,
as God
has called
each,
in this
manner
let him walk.
And so
I direct
in all
the churches.
18
Was any
man
called
when he was already circumcised?
He is not to become uncircumcised.
Has anyone
been
called
in uncircumcision?
He is not to be circumcised.
19
Circumcision
is nothing,
and uncircumcision
is nothing,
but what matters is the keeping
of the commandments
of God.
20
Each man
must remain
in that condition
in which
he was called.
21
Were you called
while a slave?
Do not worry
about it; but if
you are able
also
to become
free,
rather
do
that.
22
For
he who was called
in the Lord
while a slave,
is the Lord's
freedman;
likewise
he who was called
while free,
is Christ's
slave.
23
You were bought
with a price;
do not become
slaves
of men.
24
Brethren,
each one
is to remain
with God
in that condition in which
he was called.
25
Now
concerning
virgins
I have
no
command
of the Lord
,
but I give
an opinion
as one who by the mercy
of the Lord
is trustworthy.
26
I think
then
that this
is good
in view
of the present
distress,
that it
is good
for a man
to remain
as he is.
27
Are you bound
to a wife?
Do not seek
to be released.
Are you released
from a wife?
Do not seek
a wife.
28
But if
you marry,
you have not sinned;
and if
a virgin
marries,
she has not sinned.
Yet
such
will have
trouble
in this
life,
and I am trying to spare
you.
29
But this
I say,
brethren,
the time
has been
shortened,
so
that from now
on those
who have
wives
should be as though
they had
none;
30
and those
who weep,
as though
they did not weep;
and those
who rejoice,
as though
they did not rejoice;
and those
who buy,
as though
they did not possess;
31
and those
who use
the
world
,
as though
they did not make full use
of it; for the form
of this
world
is passing away.
32
But I want
you to be free from concern.
One who is unmarried
is concerned
about the things of the Lord,
how
he may please
the Lord;
33
but one who is married
is concerned
about the things of the world,
how
he may please
his wife,
34
and his interests are divided.
The woman
who is unmarried,
and the virgin,
is concerned
about the things of the Lord,
that she may be holy
both
in body
and spirit;
but one who is married
is concerned
about the things of the world,
how
she may please
her husband.
35
This
I say
for your own
benefit;
not to put
a restraint
upon you, but to promote
what is appropriate
and to secure undistracted
devotion
to the Lord.
36
But if
any man
thinks
that he is acting unbecomingly
toward
his virgin
daughter, if
she is past her youth,
and if it must
be so,
let him do
what
he wishes,
he does not sin;
let her marry.
37
But he who
stands
firm
in his
heart,
being
under
no
constraint,
but has
authority
over
his own
will,
and has decided
this
in
his own
heart,
to keep
his own
virgin
daughter, he will do
well.
38
So then
both
he who gives
his own
virgin
daughter in marriage
does
well,
and he who
does
not give her in marriage
will do
better.
39
A wife
is bound
as long
as
her husband
lives;
but if
her husband
is dead,
she is free
to be married
to whom
she wishes,
only
in the Lord.
40
But in my opinion
she is happier
if
she remains
as she is; and I think
that I also
have
the Spirit
of God.
