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.

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

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 7:29

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.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:1

This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:2

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

1 Timothy Chapter 3:3

Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

1 Timothy Chapter 3:4

One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

1 Timothy Chapter 3:5

For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

1 Timothy Chapter 3:6

Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:7

Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:8

Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

1 Timothy Chapter 3:9

Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:10

And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:11

Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:12

Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:13

For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:14

These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:

1 Timothy Chapter 3:15

But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:16

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Hebrews Chapter 13:4

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

1 Peter Chapter 3:1
