1 Corinthians 7 - King James Bible with Strong Numbers1 G1161 Now G4012 concerning G3739 the things whereof G1125 ye wrote [G5656] G3427 unto me G2570 : It is good G444 for a man G3361 not G680 to touch [G5733] G1135 a woman. 2 G1223 Nevertheless G1161 G4202 , to avoid fornication G2192 , let G1538 every man G2192 have [G5720] G1438 his own G1135 wife G2532 , and G2192 let G1538 every woman G2192 have [G5720] G2398 her own G435 husband. 3 G591 Let G435 the husband G591 render [G5720] G1135 unto the wife G3784 due [G5746] G2133 benevolence G1161 : and G3668 likewise G2532 also G1135 the wife G435 unto the husband. 4 G1135 The wife G1850 hath G3756 not G1850 power [G5719] G2398 of her own G4983 body G235 , but G435 the husband G1161 : and G3668 likewise G2532 also G435 the husband G1850 hath G3756 not G1850 power [G5719] G2398 of his own G4983 body G235 , but G1135 the wife. 5 G650 Defraud ye [G5720] G3361 not G240 one the other G1509 , except G302 G5100 it be G1537 with G4859 consent G4314 for G2540 a time G2443 , that G4980 ye may give yourselves [G5725] G3521 to fasting G2532 and G4335 prayer G2532 ; and G4905 come [G5741] G1909 together G846 G3825 again G3363 , that G4567 Satan G3985 tempt [G5725] G5209 you G3363 not G1223 for G5216 your G192 incontinency. 6 G1161 But G3004 I speak [G5719] G5124 this G2596 by G4774 permission G3756 , and not G2596 of G2003 commandment. 7 G1063 For G2309 I would [G5719] G3956 that all G444 men G1511 were [G5750] G2532 even G5613 as G1683 I myself G235 . But G1538 every man G2192 hath [G5719] G2398 his proper G5486 gift G1537 of G2316 God G3739 , one G3303 G3779 after this manner G1161 , and G3739 another G3779 after that. 8 G3004 I say [G5719] G1161 therefore G22 to the unmarried G2532 and G5503 widows G2076 , It is [G5748] G2570 good G846 for them G1437 if G3306 they abide [G5661] G2504 even G5613 as G2504 I. 9 G1161 But G1487 if G1467 they G3756 cannot G1467 contain [G5736] G1060 , let them marry [G5657] G1063 : for G2076 it is [G5748] G2909 better G1060 to marry [G5658] G2228 than G4448 to burn [G5745] . 10 G1161 And G1060 unto the married [G5761] G3853 I command [G5719] G3756 , yet not G1473 I G235 , but G2962 the Lord G5563 , Let G3361 not G1135 the wife G5563 depart [G5683] G575 from G435 her husband: 11 G1161 But G2532 and G1437 if G5563 she depart [G5681] G3306 , let her remain [G5720] G22 unmarried G2228 , or G2644 be reconciled [G5649] G435 to her husband G2532 : and G863 let G3361 not G435 the husband G863 put away [G5721] G1135 his wife. 12 G1161 But G3062 to the rest G3004 speak [G5719] G1473 I G3756 , not G2962 the Lord G1536 : If any G80 brother G2192 hath [G5719] G1135 a wife G571 that believeth not G2532 , and G846 she G4909 be pleased [G5719] G3611 to dwell [G5721] G3326 with G846 him G863 , let him G3361 not G863 put G846 her G863 away [G5720] . 13 G2532 And G1135 the woman G3748 which G2192 hath [G5719] G435 an husband G571 that believeth not G2532 , and G846 if he G4909 be pleased [G5719] G3611 to dwell [G5721] G3326 with G846 her G863 , let her G3361 not G863 leave [G5720] G846 him. 14 G1063 For G571 the unbelieving G435 husband G37 is sanctified [G5769] G1722 by G1135 the wife G2532 , and G571 the unbelieving G1135 wife G37 is sanctified [G5769] G1722 by G435 the husband G686 : else G1893 G2076 were [G5748] G5216 your G5043 children G169 unclean G1161 ; but G3568 now G2076 are they [G5748] G40 holy. 15 G1161 But G1487 if G571 the unbelieving G5563 depart [G5731] G5563 , let him depart [G5744] G80 . A brother G2228 or G79 a sister G1402 is G3756 not G1402 under bondage [G5769] G1722 in G5108 such G1161 cases : but G2316 God G2564 hath called [G5758] G2248 us G1722 to G1515 peace. 16 G1063 For G5101 what G1492 knowest thou [G5758] G1135 , O wife G1487 , whether G4982 thou shalt save [G5692] G435 thy husband G2228 ? or G5101 how G1492 knowest thou [G5758] G435 , O man G1487 , whether G4982 thou shalt save [G5692] G1135 thy wife? 17 G1508 But G5613 as G2316 God G3307 hath distributed [G5656] G1538 to every man G5613 , as G2962 the Lord G2564 hath called [G5758] G1538 every one G3779 , so G4043 let him walk [G5720] G2532 . And G3779 so G1299 ordain I [G5731] G1722 in G3956 all G1577 churches. 18 G2564 Is G5100 any man G2564 called [G5681] G4059 being circumcised [G5772] G1986 ? let him G3361 not G1986 become uncircumcised [G5737] G2564 . Is G5100 any G2564 called [G5681] G1722 in G203 uncircumcision G4059 ? let him G3361 not G4059 be circumcised [G5744] . 19 G4061 Circumcision G2076 is [G5748] G3762 nothing G2532 , and G203 uncircumcision G2076 is [G5748] G3762 nothing G235 , but G5084 the keeping G1785 of the commandments G2316 of God. 20 G3306 Let G1538 every man G3306 abide [G5720] G1722 in G5026 the same G2821 calling G1722 wherein G3739 G2564 he was called [G5681] . 21 G2564 Art thou called [G5681] G1401 being a servant G3199 ? care G4671 G3361 not G3199 for it [G5720] G235 : but G1499 if G1410 thou mayest [G5736] G1096 be made [G5635] G1658 free G5530 , use [G5663] G3123 it rather. 22 G1063 For G2564 he that is called [G5685] G1722 in G2962 the Lord G1401 , being a servant G2076 , is [G5748] G2962 the Lord's G558 freeman G3668 : likewise G2532 also G2564 he that is called [G5685] G1658 , being free G2076 , is [G5748] G5547 Christ's G1401 servant. 23 G59 Ye are bought [G5681] G5092 with a price G1096 ; be G3361 not G1096 ye [G5737] G1401 the servants G444 of men. 24 G80 Brethren G3306 , let G1538 every man G1722 , wherein G3739 G2564 he is called [G5681] G1722 , therein G5129 G3306 abide [G5720] G3844 with G2316 God. 25 G1161 Now G4012 concerning G3933 virgins G2192 I have [G5719] G3756 no G2003 commandment G2962 of the Lord G1161 : yet G1325 I give [G5719] G1106 my judgment G5613 , as G1653 one that hath obtained mercy [G5772] G5259 of G2962 the Lord G1511 to be [G5750] G4103 faithful. 26 G3543 I suppose [G5719] G3767 therefore G5124 that this G5225 is [G5721] G2570 good G1223 for G1764 the present [G5761] G318 distress G3754 , I say, that G2570 it is good G444 for a man G3779 so G1511 to be [G5750] . 27 G1210 Art thou bound [G5769] G1135 unto a wife G2212 ? seek [G5720] G3361 not G3080 to be loosed G3089 . Art thou loosed [G5769] G575 from G1135 a wife G2212 ? seek [G5720] G3361 not G1135 a wife. 28 G1161 But G2532 and G1437 if G1060 thou marry [G5661] G264 , thou hast G3756 not G264 sinned [G5627] G2532 ; and G1437 if G3933 a virgin G1060 marry [G5661] G264 , she hath G3756 not G264 sinned [G5627] G1161 . Nevertheless G5108 such G2192 shall have [G5692] G2347 trouble G4561 in the flesh G1161 : but G1473 I G5339 spare [G5736] G5216 you. 29 G1161 But G5124 this G5346 I say [G5748] G80 , brethren G2540 , the time G4958 is short [G5772] G2076 : it remaineth [G5748] G3063 G2443 , that G2532 both G2192 they that have [G5723] G1135 wives G5600 be [G5753] G5613 as though G2192 they had [G5723] G3361 none; 30 G2532 And G2799 they that weep [G5723] G5613 , as G2799 though they wept [G5723] G3361 not G2532 ; and G5463 they that rejoice [G5723] G5613 , as G5463 though they rejoiced [G5723] G3361 not G2532 ; and G59 they that buy [G5723] G5613 , as G2722 though they possessed [G5723] G3361 not; 31 G2532 And G5530 they that use [G5740] G5127 this G2889 world G5613 , as G3361 not G2710 abusing [G5740] G1063 it : for G4976 the fashion G5129 of this G2889 world G3855 passeth away [G5719] . 32 G1161 But G1511 I would have [G5750] G2309 [G5719] G5209 you G275 without carefulness G22 . He that is unmarried G3309 careth [G5719] G3588 for the things that belong to G2962 the Lord G4459 , how G700 he may please [G5692] G2962 the Lord: 33 G1161 But G1060 he that is married [G5660] G3309 careth [G5719] G3588 for the things that are G2889 of the world G4459 , how G700 he may please [G5692] G1135 his wife. 34 G3307 There is difference also between [G5769] G1135 a wife G2532 and G3933 a virgin G22 . The unmarried woman G3309 careth for [G5719] G3588 the things G2962 of the Lord G2443 , that G5600 she may be [G5753] G40 holy G2532 both G4983 in body G2532 and G4151 in spirit G1161 : but G1060 she that is married [G5660] G3309 careth [G5719] G3588 for the things G2889 of the world G4459 , how G700 she may please [G5692] G435 her husband. 35 G1161 And G5124 this G3004 I speak [G5719] G4314 for G5216 your G846 own G4851 profit [G5723] G3756 ; not G2443 that G1911 I may cast [G5632] G1029 a snare G5213 upon you G235 , but G4314 for that which G2158 is comely G2532 , and G2145 that ye may attend upon G2962 the Lord G563 without distraction. 36 G1161 But G1536 if any man G3543 think [G5719] G807 that he behaveth himself uncomely [G5721] G1909 toward G846 his G3933 virgin G1437 , if G5230 she pass the flower of her age G5600 [G5753] G2532 , and G3784 need [G5719] G3779 so G1096 require [G5738] G4160 , let him do [G5720] G3739 what G2309 he will [G5719] G264 , he sinneth [G5719] G3756 not G1060 : let them marry [G5720] . 37 G1161 Nevertheless G3739 he G2476 that standeth [G5707] [G5758] G1476 stedfast G1722 in G2588 his heart G2192 , having [G5723] G3361 no G318 necessity G1161 , but G2192 hath [G5719] G1849 power G4012 over G2398 his own G2307 will G2532 , and G2919 hath G5124 so G2919 decreed [G5758] G1722 in G846 his G2588 heart G5083 that he will keep [G5721] G1438 his G3933 virgin G4160 , doeth [G5719] G2573 well. 38 G5620 So G2532 then G1547 he that giveth her in marriage [G5723] G4160 doeth [G5719] G2573 well G1161 ; but G1547 he that giveth her G3361 not G1547 in marriage [G5723] G4160 doeth [G5719] G2908 better. 39 G1135 The wife G1210 is bound [G5769] G3551 by the law G1909 G5550 as long G3745 as G846 her G435 husband G2198 liveth [G5719] G1161 ; but G1437 if G846 her G435 husband G2837 be dead [G5686] G2076 , she is [G5748] G1658 at liberty G1060 to be married [G5683] G3739 to whom G2309 she will [G5719] G3440 ; only G1722 in G2962 the Lord. 40 G1161 But G2076 she is [G5748] G3107 happier G1437 if G3306 she G3779 so G3306 abide [G5661] G2596 , after G1699 my G1106 judgment G1161 : and G1380 I think [G5719] G2504 also G2192 that I have [G5721] G4151 the Spirit G2316 of God. |
