1 Now G1161 CONJ concerning G4012 PREP the things whereof G3739 R-GPN ye wrote G1125 V-AAI-2P unto me G3427 P-1DS : It is good G2570 A-NSN for a man G444 N-DSM not G3361 PRT-N to touch G680 V-PMN a woman G1135 N-GSF .
2 Nevertheless G1161 CONJ , to avoid G1223 PREP fornication G4202 PREP , let every man G1538 A-NSM have G2192 V-PAM-3S his own G1438 F-3GSM wife G1135 N-ASF , and G2532 CONJ let every woman G1538 A-NSF have G2192 V-PAM-3S her own G2398 A-ASM husband G435 N-ASM .
3 Let the G3588 T-NSM husband G435 N-NSM render G591 V-PAM-3S unto the G3588 T-DSF wife G1135 N-DSF due G3784 V-PPP-ASF benevolence G2133 N-ASF : and G1161 CONJ likewise G3668 ADV also G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF wife G1135 N-NSF unto the G3588 T-DSM husband G435 N-DSM .
4 The G3588 T-NSF wife G1135 N-NSF hath not power G1850 V-PAI-3S of her own G2398 A-GSN body G4983 N-GSN , but G235 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM husband G435 N-NSM : and G1161 CONJ likewise G3668 ADV also G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM husband G435 N-NSM hath not power G1850 V-PAI-3S of his own G2398 A-GSN body G4983 N-GSN , but G235 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF wife G1135 N-NSF .
5 Defraud G650 V-PAM-2P ye not G3361 PRT-N one the other G240 C-APM , except G1509 it be with G1537 PREP consent G4859 A-GSN for G4314 PREP a time G2540 N-ASM , that G2443 CONJ ye G3588 T-DSF may give yourselves G4980 V-PAS-2P to fasting G3521 N-DSF and G2532 CONJ prayer G4335 N-DSF ; and G2532 CONJ come together G4905 V-PNS-2P again G3825 ADV , that G3588 T-NSM Satan G4567 N-NSM tempt G3985 V-PAS-3S you G5209 P-2AP not G3361 PRT-N for G1223 PREP your G3588 T-ASF incontinency G192 N-ASF .
6 But G1161 CONJ I speak G3004 V-PAI-1S this G5124 D-ASN by G2596 PREP permission G4774 N-ASF , and not G3756 PRT-N of G2596 PREP commandment G2003 N-ASF .
7 For G1063 CONJ I would G2309 V-PAI-1S that all G3956 A-APM men G444 N-APM were G1511 V-PXN even as ADV I myself G1683 F-1ASM . But G235 CONJ every man G1538 A-NSM hath G2192 V-PAI-3S his proper G2398 A-ASN gift G5486 N-ASN of G1537 PREP God G2316 N-GSM , one G3739 R-NSM after this manner G3779 ADV , and G1161 CONJ another G3739 R-NSM after that G3779 ADV .
8 I say G3004 V-PAI-1S therefore G1161 CONJ to the G3588 T-DPM unmarried G22 N-DPM and G2532 CONJ widows G5503 N-DPF , It is G2076 V-PXI-3S good G2570 A-NSN for them G846 P-DPM if G1437 COND they abide G3306 V-AAS-3P even as I G2504 P-1NS-C .
9 But G1161 CONJ if G1487 COND they cannot contain G1467 V-PNI-3P , let them marry G1060 V-AAM-3P : for G1063 CONJ it is G2076 V-PXI-3S better G2909 to marry G1060 V-AAN than G2228 PRT to burn G4448 V-PPN .
10 And G1161 CONJ unto the G3588 T-DPM married G1060 V-RAP-DPM I command G3853 V-PAI-1S , yet not G3756 PRT-N I G1473 P-1NS , but G235 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM Lord G2962 N-NSM , Let not G3361 PRT-N the wife G1135 N-ASF depart G5563 V-APN-M from G575 PREP her husband G435 N-GSM :
11 But G1161 CONJ and G2532 CONJ if G1437 COND she depart G5563 V-API-3S , let her remain G3306 V-PAM-3S unmarried G22 N-NSF , or G2228 PRT be reconciled G2644 V-2APM-3S to her husband G435 N-DSM : and G2532 CONJ let not G3361 PRT-N the husband G435 N-ASM put away G863 V-PAN his wife G1135 N-ASF .
12 But G1161 CONJ to the G3588 T-DPM rest G3062 A-DPM speak G3004 V-PAI-1S I G1473 P-1NS , not G3756 PRT-N the G3588 T-NSM Lord G2962 N-NSM : If any G1536 brother G80 N-NSM hath G2192 V-PAI-3S a wife G1135 N-ASF that believeth not G571 A-ASF , and G2532 CONJ she G846 P-GSM be pleased G4909 V-PAI-3S to dwell G3611 V-PAN with G3326 PREP him G846 P-ASF , let him not G3361 PRT-N put her away G863 V-PAM-3S .
13 And G2532 CONJ the woman G1135 N-NSF which G3748 R-NSF hath G2192 V-PAI-3S a husband G435 N-ASM that believeth not G571 A-ASM , and G2532 CONJ if he G846 P-NSM be pleased G4909 V-PAI-3S to dwell G3611 V-PAN with G3326 PREP her G846 P-GSF , let her not G3361 PRT-N leave G863 V-PAM-3S him G846 P-ASM .
14 For G1063 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM unbelieving G571 A-NSM husband G435 N-NSM is sanctified G37 V-RPI-3S by G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSF wife G1135 N-DSF , and G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF unbelieving G571 A-NSF wife G1135 N-NSF is sanctified G37 V-RPI-3S by G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSM husband G435 N-DSM : else G1893 CONJ were G2076 V-PXI-3S your G3588 T-NPN children G5043 N-NPN unclean G169 A-NPN ; but G1161 CONJ now G3568 ADV are G2076 V-PXI-3S they holy G40 A-NPN .
15 But G1161 CONJ if G1487 COND the G3588 T-NSM unbelieving G571 A-NSM depart G5563 V-PMI-3S , let him depart G5563 V-PPM-3S . A brother G80 N-NSM or G2228 PRT a sister G79 N-NSF is not G3756 PRT-N under bondage G1402 V-RPI-3S in G1722 PREP such G5108 D-DPN cases : but G1161 CONJ God G2316 N-NSM hath called G2564 V-RAI-3S us G2248 P-1AP to G1722 PREP peace G1515 N-DSF .
16 For G1063 CONJ what G5101 I-ASN knowest G1492 V-RAI-2S thou , O wife G1135 N-VSF , whether G1487 COND thou shalt save G4982 V-FAI-2S thy husband G435 N-ASM ? or G2228 PRT how G5101 I-ASN knowest G1492 V-RAI-2S thou , O man G435 N-VSM , whether G1487 COND thou shalt save G4982 V-FAI-2S thy wife G1135 N-ASF ?
17 But G1508 as G5613 ADV God G2316 N-NSM hath distributed G3307 V-AAI-3S to every man G1538 A-DSM , as G5613 ADV the G3588 T-NSM Lord G2962 N-NSM hath called G2564 V-RAI-3S every one G1538 A-ASM , so G3779 ADV let him walk G4043 V-PAM-3S . And G2532 CONJ so G3779 ADV ordain G1299 V-PMI-1S I in G1722 PREP all G3956 A-DPF churches G1577 N-DPF .
18 Is any man G5100 X-NSM called G2564 V-API-3S being circumcised G4059 V-RPP-NSM ? let him not G3361 PRT-N become uncircumcised G1986 V-PNM-3S . Is any G5100 X-NSM called G2564 V-API-3S in G1722 PREP uncircumcision G203 N-DSF ? let him not G3361 PRT-N be circumcised G4059 V-PPM-3S .
19 Circumcision G4061 N-NSF is G2076 V-PXI-3S nothing G3762 A-NSN , and G2532 CONJ uncircumcision G203 N-NSF is G2076 V-PXI-3S nothing G3762 A-NSN , but G235 CONJ the keeping G5084 N-NSF of the commandments G1785 N-GPF of God G2316 N-GSM .
20 Let every man G1538 A-NSM abide G3306 V-PAM-3S in G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSF same G3588 T-DSF calling G2821 N-DSF wherein G3739 R-DSF he was called G2564 V-API-3S .
21 Art thou called G2564 V-API-2S being a servant G1401 N-NSM ? care G3199 V-PAM-3S not G3361 PRT-N for G4671 P-2DS it : but G235 CONJ if G1487 COND thou mayest G1410 V-PNI-2S be made G1096 V-2ADN free G1658 A-NSM , use G5530 V-ADM-2S it rather G3123 ADV .
22 For G1063 CONJ he that is called G2564 V-APP-NSM in G1722 PREP the Lord G2962 N-DSM , being a servant G1401 N-NSM , is G2076 V-PXI-3S the Lord G2962 N-GSM \'s freeman G558 N-NSM : likewise G3668 ADV also G2532 CONJ he G3588 T-NSM that G3588 T-NSM is called G2564 V-APP-NSM , being free G1658 A-NSM , is G2076 V-PXI-3S Christ G5547 N-GSM \'s servant G1401 N-NSM .
23 Ye are bought G59 V-API-2P with a price G5092 N-GSF ; be G1096 V-PNM-2P not G3361 PRT-N ye the servants G1401 N-NPM of men G444 N-GPM .
24 Brethren G80 N-VPM , let every man G1538 A-NSM , wherein G1722 PREP he is called G2564 V-API-3S , therein G1722 PREP abide G3306 V-PAM-3S with G3844 PREP God G2316 N-DSM .
25 Now G1161 CONJ concerning G4012 PREP virgins G3933 N-GPF I have G2192 V-PAI-1S no G3756 PRT-N commandment G2003 N-ASF of the Lord G2962 N-GSM : yet G1161 CONJ I give G1325 V-PAI-1S my judgment G1106 N-ASF , as G5613 ADV one that hath obtained mercy G1653 V-RPP-NSM of G5259 PREP the Lord G2962 N-GSM to be G1511 V-PXN faithful G4103 A-NSM .
26 I suppose G3543 V-PAI-1S therefore G3767 CONJ that this G5124 D-ASN is G5225 V-PAN good G2570 A-ASN for G1223 PREP the G3588 T-ASF present G1764 V-RAP-ASF distress G318 N-ASF , I say , that G3754 CONJ it is good G2570 A-NSN for G3588 T-NSN a man G444 N-DSM so G3779 ADV to be G1511 V-PXN .
27 Art thou bound G1210 V-RPI-2S unto a wife G1135 N-DSF ? seek G2212 V-PAM-2S not G3361 PRT-N to be loosed G3080 N-ASF . Art thou loosed G3089 V-RPI-2S from G575 PREP a wife G1135 N-GSF ? seek G2212 V-PAM-2S not G3361 PRT-N a wife G1135 N-ASF .
28 But G1161 CONJ and G2532 CONJ if G1437 COND thou marry G1060 V-AAS-2S , thou hast not G3756 PRT-N sinned G264 V-2AAI-2S ; and G2532 CONJ if G1437 COND a virgin G3933 N-NSF marry G1060 V-AAS-3S , she hath not G3756 PRT-N sinned G264 V-2AAI-3S . Nevertheless G1161 CONJ such G5108 D-NPM shall have G2192 V-FAI-3P trouble G2347 N-ASF in the G3588 T-DSF flesh G4561 N-DSF : but G1161 CONJ I G1473 P-1NS spare G5339 V-PNI-1S you G5216 P-2GP .
29 But G1161 CONJ this G5124 D-ASN I say G5346 V-PXI-1S , brethren G80 N-VPM , the G3588 T-NSM time G2540 N-NSM is short G4958 V-RPP-NSM : it remaineth G2076 V-PXI-3S , that G2443 CONJ both G2532 CONJ they that have G2192 V-PAP-NPM wives G1135 N-APF be G5600 V-PXS-3P as though G5613 ADV they had G2192 V-PAP-NPM none G3361 PRT-N ;
30 And G2532 CONJ they that weep G2799 V-PAP-NPM , as though G5613 ADV they wept G2799 V-PAP-NPM not G3361 PRT-N ; and G2532 CONJ they that rejoice G5463 V-PAP-NPM , as though G5613 ADV they rejoiced G5463 V-PAP-NPM not G3361 PRT-N ; and G2532 CONJ they that buy G59 V-PAP-NPM , as though G5613 ADV they possessed G2722 V-PAP-NPM not G3361 PRT-N ;
31 And G2532 CONJ they that use G5530 V-PNP-NPM this G3588 T-DSM world G2889 N-DSM , as G5613 ADV not G3361 PRT-N abusing G2710 V-PNP-NPM it : for G1063 CONJ the G3588 T-NSN fashion G4976 N-NSN of G3588 T-GSM this G3588 T-GSM world G2889 N-GSM passeth away G3855 V-PAI-3S .
32 But G1161 CONJ I would G2309 V-PAI-1S have G1511 V-PXN you G5209 P-2AP without carefulness G275 A-APM . He that is unmarried G22 N-NSM careth for G3309 V-PAI-3S the things G3588 T-NSM that G3588 T-GSM belong to the G3588 T-GSM Lord G2962 N-GSM , how G4459 ADV-I he G3588 T-APN may please G700 V-FAI-3S the G3588 T-DSM Lord G2962 N-DSM :
33 But G1161 CONJ he that is married G1060 V-AAP-NSM careth for G3309 V-PAI-3S the things G3588 T-NSM that G3588 T-GSM are of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM world G2889 N-GSM , how G4459 ADV-I he G3588 T-DSF may please G700 V-FAI-3S his wife G1135 N-DSF .
34 There is difference also between G3307 V-RPI-3S a wife G1135 N-NSF and G2532 CONJ a virgin G3933 N-NSF . The G3588 T-NSF unmarried woman G22 N-NSF careth for G3309 V-PAI-3S the things G3588 T-NSF of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM Lord G2962 N-GSM , that G2443 CONJ she may be G5600 V-PXS-3S holy G40 A-NSF both G2532 CONJ in body G4983 N-DSN and G2532 CONJ in spirit G4151 N-DSN : but G1161 CONJ she that is married G1060 V-AAP-NSF careth for G3309 V-PAI-3S the G3588 T-APN things G3588 T-APN of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM world G2889 N-GSM , how G4459 ADV-I she G3588 T-DSM may please G700 V-FAI-3S her husband G435 N-DSM .
35 And G1161 CONJ this G5124 D-ASN I speak G3004 V-PAI-1S for G3588 T-ASN your own G5216 P-2GP profit G4851 V-PAP-ASN ; not G3756 PRT-N that G2443 CONJ I may cast G1911 V-2AAS-1S a snare G1029 N-ASM upon you G5213 P-2DP , but G235 CONJ for G3588 T-ASN that which is comely G2158 A-ASN , and G2532 CONJ that ye may attend upon G2145 A-ASN the G3588 T-DSM Lord G2962 N-DSM without distraction G563 ADV .
36 But G1161 CONJ if G1487 COND any man G5100 X-NSM think G3543 V-PAI-3S that he behaveth himself uncomely G807 V-PAN toward G1909 PREP his G3588 T-ASF virgin G3933 N-ASF , if G1437 COND she pass the flower of her age G5600 V-PXS-3S , and G2532 CONJ need G3784 V-PAI-3S so G3779 ADV require G1096 V-PNN , let him do G4160 V-PAM-3S what G3739 R-ASN he will G2309 V-PAI-3S , he sinneth G264 V-PAI-3S not G3756 PRT-N : let them marry G1060 V-PAM-3P .
37 Nevertheless G1161 CONJ he G3739 R-NSM that standeth G2476 V-IAI-3S steadfast G1476 A-NSM in G1722 PREP his heart G2588 N-DSF , having G2192 V-PAP-NSM no G3361 PRT-N necessity G318 N-ASF , but G1161 CONJ hath G2192 V-PAI-3S power G1849 N-ASF over G4012 PREP his own G2398 A-GSN will G2307 N-GSN , and G2532 CONJ hath so G5124 D-ASN decreed G2919 V-RAI-3S in G1722 PREP his G3588 T-DSF heart G2588 N-DSF that G3588 T-ASF he G3588 T-ASF will keep G5083 V-PAN his G1438 F-3GSM virgin G3933 N-ASF , doeth G4160 V-PAI-3S well G2573 ADV .
38 So then G5620 CONJ he G3588 T-NSM that G3588 T-NSM giveth her G3588 T-NSM in marriage G1547 V-PAP-NSM doeth G4160 V-PAI-3S well G2573 ADV ; but G1161 CONJ he that giveth her not in marriage G1547 V-PAP-NSM doeth G4160 V-PAI-3S better G2908 A-ASN .
39 The wife G1135 N-NSF is bound G1210 V-RPI-3S by the law G3551 N-DSM as long as PREP her G3588 T-NSM husband G435 N-NSM liveth G2198 V-PAI-3S ; but G1161 CONJ if G1437 COND her G3588 T-NSM husband G435 N-NSM be dead G2837 V-APS-3S , she is G2076 V-PXI-3S at liberty G1658 A-NSF to be married G1060 V-APN to whom G3739 R-DSM she will G2309 V-PAI-3S ; only G3440 ADV in G1722 PREP the Lord G2962 N-DSM .
40 But G1161 CONJ she is G2076 V-PXI-3S happier G3107 A-NSF-C if G1437 COND she so G3779 ADV abide G3306 V-AAS-3S , after G2596 PREP my G1699 S-1ASF judgment G1106 N-ASF : and G1161 CONJ I think G1380 V-PAI-1S also that I G2504 P-1NS-C have G2192 V-PAN the Spirit G4151 N-ASN of God G2316 N-GSM .
