eloping

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:1

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

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:2

Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:3

Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:4

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:5

Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:6

But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:7

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

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:8

I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:9

But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:10

And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:11

But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:12

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

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:13

And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:14

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:15

But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:16

For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:17

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

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:18

Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:19

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:20

Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:21

Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:22

For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:23

Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:24

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

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:25

Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:26

I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:27

Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:28

But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:29

But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:30

And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:31

And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:32

But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:33

But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:34

There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:35

And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:36

But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:37

Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:38

So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:39

The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

1 Corinthians Chapter 7:40

But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

Colossians Chapter 2:1

For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

Colossians Chapter 2:2

That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

Colossians Chapter 2:3

In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Colossians Chapter 2:4

And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

Colossians Chapter 2:5

For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

Colossians Chapter 2:6

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

Colossians Chapter 2:7

Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Colossians Chapter 2:8

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Colossians Chapter 2:9

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Colossians Chapter 2:10

And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

Colossians Chapter 2:11

In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

Colossians Chapter 2:12

Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

Colossians Chapter 2:13

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

Colossians Chapter 2:14

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

Colossians Chapter 2:15

And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Colossians Chapter 2:16

Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

Colossians Chapter 2:17

Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Colossians Chapter 2:18

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Colossians Chapter 2:19

And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

Colossians Chapter 2:20

Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

Colossians Chapter 2:21

Touch not; taste not; handle not;

Colossians Chapter 2:22

Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

Colossians Chapter 2:23

Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
