riversident@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife has not power over her own body, but her husband has. In the same way the husband has not power over his own body, but his wife has.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another, unless by agreement for a time, that you may have freedom for prayer, and again come together. You must not let Satan tempt you through your lack of self-control.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:7 @ I wish that every one were just as I am. But each has his own gift from God, one in one way and one in another.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:12 @ To the rest I say \'97 not the Lord: If any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever and she is pleased to live with him, let him not put her away.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And if any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever and he is pleased to live with her, let her not put him away.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:14 @ For the unbelieving husband has been made holy by the wife and the unbelieving wife has been made holy by the husband. Otherwise your children would be impure, but now they are holy.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbelieving one actually leaves, let him leave. The brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases; but God has called you to peace.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:16 @ For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
riversident@1Corinthians:7:17 @ But, as the Lord has allotted to each, let each go on living as when God called him. So I prescribe in all the churches.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:18 @ Was any one already circumcised when called? Let him not efface it. Was any one called when uncircumcised? Let him not become circumcised.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:21 @ Were you called when a slave? Let it not trouble you. On the contrary, even if you can become free, take it in preference.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For the slave who has been called in the Lord is the Lord's freedman. Just so the free man, when called, is the slave of Christ.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:25 @ In regard to unmarried women I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who through the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think then that this is an excellent thing on account of the present distress \'97 that it is an excellent thing for a person to be unmarried.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But even if you marry, you have not sinned. Even if a maiden marries, she has not sinned. But such will have trouble in the flesh, and I would spare you.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:29 @ But this I say, brethren: The time is shortened. For what remains let those who have wives be as if they had none,
riversident@1Corinthians:7:30 @ and those who weep as if they wept not, and those who rejoice as if they rejoiced not, and those who buy as if they possessed nothing,
riversident@1Corinthians:7:32 @ I wish you to be free from worry. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord \'97 how be may please the Lord.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:34 @ and his interest is divided. So the unmarried woman or the maiden is anxious about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about the things of the world \'97 how she may please her husband.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:35 @ This I say for your benefit, not to throw a noose over you, but to promote decorum and constant devotion to the Lord without distraction.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:36 @ If any one thinks that he is acting unbecomingly toward his virgin, if she is ripe for marriage and there is need, let him do what he will. He does not sin. Let them marry.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:37 @ He who stands firm in his heart, having no necessity, and has power over his own will and has decided in his heart to keep his virgin, will do well.
riversident@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A woman is bound as long as her husband is living. But if her husband falls asleep, she is free to marry whom she will, though only in the Lord.
