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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 7:31

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

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