Teaching on Marriage

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:1 -

Now G1161 concerning G4012 the things about which G3739 you wrote G1125, it is good G2570 for a man G444 [fn]not to touch G681 a woman G1135.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:2 - But because G1223 of sexual G4202 immoralities G4202, each G1538 man G1538 is to have G2192 his own G1438 wife G1135, and each G1538 woman G1135 is to have G2192 her own G2398 husband G435.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:3 - The husband G435 must fulfill G591 his duty G3782 to his wife G1135, and likewise G3668 the wife G1135 also G2532 to her husband G435.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:4 - The wife G1135 does not have G1850 authority G1850 over G1850 her own G2398 body G4983, but the husband G435 does; and likewise G3668 the husband G435 also G2532 does not have G1850 authority G1850 over G1850 his own G2398 body G4983, but the wife G1135 does.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:5 - [fn]Stop G3361 depriving G650 one G240 another G240, except G1509 by agreement G4859 for a time G2540 so G2443 that G2443 you may devote G4980 yourselves G4980 to prayer G4335, and [fn]come G1510 together G1909 G3588 G846 again G3825 so G2443 that G2443 Satan G4567 will not tempt G3985 you because G1223 of your lack G192 of G192 self-control G192.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:6 - But this G3778 I say G3004 by way G2596 of concession G4774, not of command G2003.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:7 - [fn]Yet G1161 I wish G2309 that all G3956 [fn]men G444 were even G2532 as I myself G1683 am. However G235, each G1538 has G2192 his own G2398 gift G5486 from God G2316, one G3588 G3303 in G3779 this G3779 way G3779, and another G3739 G1161 in that.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:8 -

But I say G3004 to the unmarried G22 and to widows G5503 that it is good G2570 for them if G1437 they remain G3306 even G2532 as I.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:9 - But if G1487 they do not have G1467 self-control G1467, let them marry G1060; for it is better G2909 to marry G1060 than G2228 to burn G4448 with passion.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:10 -

But to the married G1060 I give G3853 instructions G3853, not I, but the Lord G2962, that the wife G1135 is not to leave G5563 her husband G435

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:11 - (but if G1437 she does leave G5563, she must remain G3306 unmarried G22, or G2228 else G2228 be reconciled G2644 to her husband G435), and that the husband G435 is not to [fn]divorce G863 his wife G1135.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:12 -

But to the rest G3062 I say G3004, not the Lord G2962, that if G1487 any G5100 brother G80 has G2192 an unbelieving G571 wife G1135, and she consents G4909 to live G3611 with him, he must not [fn]divorce G863 her.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:13 - And [fn]if any G5100 woman G1135 has G2192 an unbelieving G571 husband G435, and he consents G4909 to live G3611 with her, she must not [fn]divorce G863 her husband G435.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:14 - For the unbelieving G571 husband G435 is sanctified G37 through G1722 his wife G1135, and the unbelieving G571 wife G1135 is sanctified G37 through G1722 [fn]her believing G80 husband G80; for G1893 otherwise G1893 your children G5043 are unclean G169, but now G3568 they are holy G40.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:15 - Yet G1161 if G1487 the unbelieving G571 one G571 is leaving G5563, [fn]let him leave G5563; the brother G80 or G2228 the sister G79 is not under G1402 bondage G1402 in such G5108 cases, but God G2316 has called G2564 [fn]us in peace G1515.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:16 - For how G5101 do you know G6063, wife G1135, whether G1487 you will save G4982 your husband G435? Or G2228 how G5101 do you know G6063, husband G435, whether G1487 you will save G4982 your wife G1135?
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:17 -

Only G1487 G3361, as the Lord G2962 has assigned G3307 to each G1538 one G1538, as God G2316 has called G2564 each G1538, in G3779 this G3779 way G3779 let him walk G4043. And so G3779 I direct G1299 in all G3956 the churches G1577.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:18 - Was any G5100 man G5100 called G2564 when he was already circumcised G4059? He is not to become G1986 uncircumcised G1986. Has anyone G5100 been called G2564 in uncircumcision G203? He is not to be circumcised G4059.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:19 - Circumcision G4061 is nothing G3762, and uncircumcision G203 is nothing G3762, but what matters is the keeping G5084 of the commandments G1785 of God G2316.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:20 - Each G1538 person is to remain G3306 in that [fn]state G2821 in which G3739 he was called G2564.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:21 -

Were you called G2564 as a slave G1401? Do not let it concern G3199 you. But if G1487 you are also G2532 able G1410 to become G1096 free G1658, take G5530 G3123 advantage G5530 G3123 of that.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:22 - For the one who was called G2564 in the Lord G2962 as a slave G1401, is the Lord’s G2962 freed G558 person G558; likewise G3668 the one who was called G2564 as free G1658, is Christ’s G5547 slave G1401.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:23 - You were bought G59 for a price G5092; do not become G1096 slaves G1401 of people G444.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:24 - Brothers G80 and sisters, each G1538 one G1538 is to remain G3306 with God G2316 in that condition in which G3739 he was called G2564.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:25 -

Now G1161 concerning G4012 virgins G3933, I have G2192 no G3756 command G2003 of the Lord G2962, but I am offering G1325 direction G1106 as one who [fn]by the mercy G1653 of the Lord G2962 is trustworthy G4103.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:26 - I think G3543, then G3767, that this G3778 is good G2570 in G1223 view G1223 of G1223 the [fn]present G1764 distress G318, that it is good G2570 for a man G444 [fn]to remain G1510 as he is.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:27 - Are you bound G1210 to a wife G1135? Do not seek G2212 to be released G3080. Are you released G3089 from a wife G1135? Do not seek G2212 a wife G1135.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:28 - But if G1437 you marry G1060, you have not sinned G264; and if G1437 a virgin G3933 marries G1060, she has not sinned G264. Yet G1161 such G5108 people G5108 as yourselves will have G2192 [fn]trouble G2347 in this G3588 life G4561, and I am trying to spare G5339 you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:29 - But this G3778 I say G5346, brothers G80, the time G2540 has been G1510 shortened G4958, so G2443 that G2443 from G3062 now G3062 on G3062 those G3588 who have G2192 wives G1135 should be as G5613 though G5613 they had G2192 none G3361;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:30 - and those G3588 who weep G2799, as G5613 though G5613 they did not weep G2799; and those G3588 who rejoice G5463, as G5613 though G5613 they did not rejoice G5463; and those G3588 who buy G59, as G5613 though G5613 they did not possess G2722;
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:31 - and those G3588 who use G5530 the world G2889, as G5613 though G5613 they did not make G2710 full G2710 use G2710 of G2710 it; for the present form G4976 of this G3778 world G2889 is passing G3855 away G3855.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:32 -

But I want G2309 you to be free G275 from G275 concern G275. One who is unmarried G22 is concerned G3309 about G3309 the things of the Lord G2962, how G4459 he may please G700 the Lord G2962;

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:33 - but one who is married G1060 is concerned G3309 about G3309 the things of the world G2889, how G4459 he may please G700 his wife G1135,
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:34 - and his interests are divided G3307. The woman G1135 who is unmarried G22, and the virgin G3933, is concerned G3309 about G3309 the things of the Lord G2962, that she may be holy G40 both G2532 in body G4983 and spirit G4151; but one who is married G1060 is concerned G3309 about G3309 the things of the world G2889, how G4459 she may please G700 her husband G435.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:35 - I say G3004 this G3778 for your own G846 benefit G4851, not to put G1911 a restraint G1029 on G1911 you, but [fn]to promote G4314 what G3588 is appropriate G2158 and to secure undistracted G563 devotion G2145 to the Lord G2962.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:36 -

But if G1487 anyone G5100 thinks G3543 that he is acting G807 dishonorably G807 toward G1909 his virgin G3933, if G1437 she is [fn]past G5230 her youth G5230 and it ought G3784 to be so G3779, let him do G4160 what G3739 he wishes G2309, he is not sinning G264; let [fn]them marry G1060.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:37 - But the one who G3739 stands G2476 firm G1476 in his heart G2588, [fn]if he is G2192 not under G2192 constraint G318, but has G2192 authority G1849 [fn]over G4012 his own G2398 will G2307, and has decided G2919 this G3778 in his own G2398 heart G2588, to keep G5083 his own G1438 virgin G3933, he will do G4160 well G2573.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:38 - So G5620 then G5620, both G2532 the one who gives G1061 his own G1438 virgin G3933 in G1061 marriage G1061 does G4160 well G2573, and the one who does not give G1061 her in G1061 marriage G1061 will do G4160 better G2909.
Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:39 -

A wife G1135 is bound G1210 as long G3745 G5550 as G3745 her husband G435 lives G2198; but if G1437 her husband G435 [fn]dies G2837, she is free G1658 to be married G1060 to whom G3739 she wishes G2309, only G3440 in the Lord G2962.

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 7:40 - But in my opinion G1106 she is [fn]happier G3107 if G1437 she remains G3306 as she is; and I think G1380 that I also G2532 have G2192 the Spirit G4151 of God G2316.
