1Now concerning the things whereof you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

1 Corinthians 7:8, 1 Corinthians 7:8, 1 Corinthians 7:26, 1 Corinthians 7:27, 1 Corinthians 7:26

2But for fear of fornication, let every man have his own wife: and let every woman have her own husband.

stylus

Ephesians 5:28, Ephesians 5:28, Ephesians 5:33, Ephesians 5:33, 1 Corinthians 7:9

3Let the husband render the debt to his wife: and the wife also in like manner to the husband.

stylus

1 Peter 3:7, 1 Peter 3:7, Exodus 21:10, Exodus 21:10

4The wife hath not power of her own body: but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body: but the wife.

stylus

Matthew 19:9, Hosea 3:3, Matthew 19:9, Hosea 3:3, Mark 10:11

5Defraud not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may give yourselves to prayer: and return together again, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency.

stylus

Exodus 19:15, Exodus 19:15, Joel 2:16, Joel 2:16, 1 Samuel 21:4

6But I speak this by indulgence, not by commandment.

stylus

2 Corinthians 8:8, 2 Corinthians 8:8, 1 Corinthians 7:25, 1 Corinthians 7:25, 1 Corinthians 7:12

7For I would that all men were even as myself. But every one hath his proper gift from God: one after this manner, and another after that.

stylus

Matthew 19:11, Matthew 19:12, Matthew 19:11, Matthew 19:12, 1 Corinthians 9:5

8But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I.

stylus

1 Corinthians 7:32, 1 Corinthians 7:32, 1 Corinthians 7:34, 1 Corinthians 7:35, 1 Corinthians 7:34

9But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt.

stylus

1 Corinthians 7:2, 1 Timothy 5:14, 1 Corinthians 7:2, 1 Timothy 5:14, 1 Timothy 5:11

10But to them that are married, not I, but the Lord, commandeth that the wife depart not from her husband.

stylus

Matthew 5:32, Matthew 5:32, Luke 16:18, Luke 16:18, Malachi 2:14

11And if she depart, that she remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And let not the husband put away his wife.

stylus

Jeremiah 3:1, Jeremiah 3:1, 1 Corinthians 7:10, 1 Corinthians 7:10, Judges 19:2

12For to the rest I speak, not the Lord. If any brother hath a wife that believeth not and she consent to dwell with him: let him not put her away.

stylus

2 Corinthians 11:17, 2 Corinthians 11:17, 1 Corinthians 7:6, 1 Corinthians 7:6, 1 Corinthians 7:25

13And if any woman hath a husband that believeth not and he consent to dwell with her: let her not put away her husband.

stylus

14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife: and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband. Otherwise your children should be unclean: but now they are holy.

stylus

Malachi 2:15, Malachi 2:16, Malachi 2:15, Malachi 2:16, Titus 1:15

15But if the unbeliever depart, let him depart. For a brother or sister is not under servitude in such cases. But God hath called us in peace.

stylus

Romans 14:19, Romans 14:19, 2 Corinthians 13:11, James 3:17, James 3:18

stylus

1 Peter 3:1, 1 Peter 3:2, 1 Peter 3:1, 1 Peter 3:2, Romans 11:14

17But as the Lord hath distributed to every one, as God hath called every one: so let him walk. And so in all churches I teach.

stylus

1 Corinthians 4:17, 1 Corinthians 4:17, 1 Corinthians 7:24, Romans 12:3, Romans 12:8

18Is any man called, being circumcised? Let him not procure uncircumcision. Is any man called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.

stylus

Acts 15:5, Acts 15:5, Acts 15:28, Acts 15:19, Acts 15:24

19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing: but the observance of the commandments of God.

21Wast thou called, being a bondman? Care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

stylus

Colossians 3:11, 1 Peter 2:18, 1 Peter 2:24, Colossians 3:11, 1 Peter 2:18

22For he that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ.

stylus

1 Peter 2:16, 1 Peter 2:16, Philemon 1:16, Philemon 1:16, Colossians 3:22

stylus

1 Corinthians 6:20, 1 Corinthians 6:20, 1 Peter 1:18, 1 Peter 1:19, 1 Peter 1:18

24Brethren, let every man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.

25Now, concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give counsel, as having obtained mercy of the Lord, to be faithful.

stylus

1 Corinthians 7:6, 1 Corinthians 7:6, 1 Corinthians 4:2, 1 Corinthians 4:2, 1 Corinthians 7:40

26I think therefore that this is good for the present necessity: that it is good for a man so to be.

stylus

1 Corinthians 7:1, 1 Corinthians 7:8, 1 Corinthians 7:1, 1 Corinthians 7:8, 1 Peter 4:17

27Art thou bound to a wife? Seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? Seek not a wife.

stylus

1 Corinthians 7:20, 1 Corinthians 7:12, 1 Corinthians 7:14, 1 Corinthians 7:20, 1 Corinthians 7:12

28But if thou take a wife, thou hast not sinned. And if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: nevertheless, such shall have tribulation of the flesh. But I spare you.

stylus

Hebrews 13:4, Hebrews 13:4, 1 Corinthians 7:32, 1 Corinthians 7:36, 1 Corinthians 7:32

stylus

1 John 2:17, 1 John 2:17, Romans 13:11, Romans 13:12, 1 Corinthians 7:31

30And they that weep, as though they wept not: and they that rejoice, as if they rejoiced not: and they that buy as if they possessed not:

stylus

Luke 6:25, Psalms 126:5, Psalms 126:6, Luke 6:21, Ecclesiastes 3:4

31And they that use this world, as if they used it not. For the fashion of this world passeth away.

stylus

1 John 2:17, 1 John 2:17, 1 Peter 4:7, 1 Peter 4:7, Luke 21:34

32But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord: how he may please God.

stylus

Matthew 6:25, Matthew 6:34, Matthew 6:25, Matthew 6:34, 1 Timothy 5:5

stylus

1 Peter 3:7, 1 Peter 3:7, Colossians 3:19, Colossians 3:19, Ephesians 5:25

34And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord: that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world: how she may please her husband.

stylus

Luke 10:40, Luke 10:42, Luke 10:40, Luke 10:42, 1 Corinthians 6:20

stylus

1 Corinthians 7:33, 1 Corinthians 7:34, 1 Corinthians 7:33, 1 Corinthians 7:34, 1 Corinthians 7:36

36But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will. He sinneth not if she marry.

stylus

1 Corinthians 7:37, 1 Corinthians 7:9, 1 Corinthians 7:37, 1 Corinthians 7:9, 1 Samuel 2:33

37For he that hath determined, being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will: and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well.

stylus

38Therefore both he that giveth his virgin in marriage doth well: and he that giveth her not doth better.

stylus

Hebrews 13:4, Hebrews 13:4, 1 Corinthians 7:32, 1 Corinthians 7:34, 1 Corinthians 7:1

stylus

Romans 7:2, Romans 7:3, Romans 7:2, Romans 7:3, 2 Corinthians 6:14

40But more blessed shall she be, if she so remain, according to my counsel. And I think that I also have the spirit of God.
