fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: good `it is' for a man not to touch a woman, |
| 2 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband; |
| 3 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData to the wife let the husband the due benevolence render, and in like manner also the wife to the husband; |
| 4 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData the wife over her own body hath not authority, but the husband; and, in like manner also, the husband over his own body hath not authority, but the wife. |
| 5 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Defraud not one another, except by consent for a time, that ye may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your incontinence; |
| 6 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData and this I say by way of concurrence -- not of command, |
| 7 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData for I wish all men to be even as I myself `am'; but each his own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and one thus. |
| 8 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I `am'; |
| 9 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData and if they have not continence -- let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn; |
| 10 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData and to the married I announce -- not I, but the Lord -- let not a wife separate from a husband: |
| 11 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData but and if she may separate, let her remain unmarried, or to the husband let her be reconciled, and let not a husband send away a wife. |
| 12 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And to the rest I speak -- not the Lord -- if any brother hath a wife unbelieving, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not send her away; |
| 13 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData and a woman who hath a husband unbelieving, and he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not send him away; |
| 14 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData for the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified in the husband; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. |
| 15 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And, if the unbelieving doth separate himself -- let him separate himself: the brother or the sister is not under servitude in such `cases', and in peace hath God called us; |
| 16 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData for what, hast thou known, O wife, whether the husband thou shalt save? or what, hast thou known, O husband, whether the wife thou shalt save? |
| 17 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData if not, as God did distribute to each, as the Lord hath called each -- so let him walk; and thus in all the assemblies do I direct: |
| 18 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData being circumcised -- was any one called? let him not become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was any one called? let him not be circumcised; |
| 19 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing -- but a keeping of the commands of God. |
| 20 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Each in the calling in which he was called -- in this let him remain; |
| 21 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData a servant -- wast thou called? be not anxious; but if also thou art able to become free -- use `it' rather; |
| 22 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData for he who `is' in the Lord -- having been called a servant -- is the Lord's freedman: in like manner also he the freeman, having been called, is servant of Christ: |
| 23 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData with a price ye were bought, become not servants of men; |
| 24 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData each, in that in which he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God. |
| 25 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And concerning the virgins, a command of the Lord I have not; and I give judgment as having obtained kindness from the Lord to be faithful: |
| 26 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the present necessity, that `it is' good for a man that the matter be thus: -- |
| 27 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Hast thou been bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; hast thou been loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. |
| 28 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData But and if thou mayest marry, thou didst not sin; and if the virgin may marry, she did not sin; and such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I spare you. |
| 29 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having been shortened -- that both those having wives may be as not having; |
| 30 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing; |
| 31 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData and those using this world, as not using `it' up; for passing away is the fashion of this world. |
| 32 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord; |
| 33 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife. |
| 34 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband. |
| 35 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And this for your own profit I say: not that I may cast a noose upon you, but for the seemliness and devotedness to the Lord, undistractedly, |
| 36 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData and if any one doth think `it' to be unseemly to his virgin, if she may be beyond the bloom of age, and it ought so to be, what he willeth let him do; he doth not sin -- let him marry. |
| 37 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And he who hath stood stedfast in the heart -- not having necessity -- and hath authority over his own will, and this he hath determined in his heart -- to keep his own virgin -- doth well; |
| 38 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData so that both he who is giving in marriage doth well, and he who is not giving in marriage doth better. |
| 39 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData A wife hath been bound by law as long time as her husband may live, and if her husband may sleep, she is free to be married to whom she will -- only in the Lord; |
| 40 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData and she is happier if she may so remain -- according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God. |
