strkjv 1Corinthians:7 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote (
5656 )
unto me :
It is good for a man not to touch (
5733 )
a woman .
*
Nevertheless ,
to avoid fornication ,
let every man have (
5720 )
his own wife ,
and let every woman have (
5720 )
her own husband .
*
Let the husband render (
5720 )
unto the wife due (
5746 )
benevolence :
and likewise also the wife unto the husband .
*
The wife hath not power (
5719 )
of her own body ,
but the husband :
and likewise also the husband hath not power (
5719 )
of his own body ,
but the wife .
*
Defraud ye (
5720 )
not one the other ,
except it be with consent for a time ,
that ye may give yourselves (
5725 )
to fasting and prayer ;
and come (
5741 )
together again ,
that Satan tempt (
5725 )
you not for your incontinency .
*
But I speak (
5719 )
this by permission ,
and not of commandment .
*
For I would (
5719 )
that all men were (
5750 )
even as I myself .
But every man hath (
5719 )
his proper gift of God ,
one after this manner ,
and another after that .
*
I say (
5719 )
therefore to the unmarried and widows ,
It is (
5748 )
good for them if they abide (
5661 )
even as I .
*
But if they cannot contain (
5736 ),
let them marry (
5657 ):
for it is (
5748 )
better to marry (
5658 )
than to burn (
5745 ).
*
And unto the married (
5761 )
I command (
5719 ),
yet not I ,
but the Lord ,
Let not the wife depart (
5683 )
from her husband :
*
But and if she depart (
5681 ),
let her remain (
5720 )
unmarried ,
or be reconciled (
5649 )
to her husband :
and let not the husband put away (
5721 )
his wife .
*
But to the rest speak (
5719 )
I ,
not the Lord :
If any brother hath (
5719 )
a wife that believeth not ,
and she be pleased (
5719 )
to dwell (
5721 )
with him ,
let him not put her away (
5720 ).
*
And the woman which hath (
5719 )
an husband that believeth not ,
and if he be pleased (
5719 )
to dwell (
5721 )
with her ,
let her not leave (
5720 )
him .
*
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified (
5769 )
by the wife ,
and the unbelieving wife is sanctified (
5769 )
by the husband :
else were (
5748 )
your children unclean ;
but now are they (
5748 )
holy .
*
But if the unbelieving depart (
5731 ),
let him depart (
5744 ).
A brother or a sister is not under bondage (
5769 )
in such cases :
but God hath called (
5758 )
us to peace .
*
For what knowest thou (
5758 ),
O wife ,
whether thou shalt save (
5692 )
thy husband ?
or how knowest thou (
5758 ),
O man ,
whether thou shalt save (
5692 )
thy wife ?
*
But as God hath distributed (
5656 )
to every man ,
as the Lord hath called (
5758 )
every one ,
so let him walk (
5720 ).
And so ordain I (
5731 )
in all churches .
*
Is any man called (
5681 )
being circumcised (
5772 )?
let him not become uncircumcised (
5737 ).
Is any called (
5681 )
in uncircumcision ?
let him not be circumcised (
5744 ).
*
Circumcision is (
5748 )
nothing ,
and uncircumcision is (
5748 )
nothing ,
but the keeping of the commandments of God .
*
Let every man abide (
5720 )
in the same calling wherein he was called (
5681 ).
*
Art thou called (
5681 )
being a servant ?
care #
not for it (
5720 ):
but if thou mayest (
5736 )
be made (
5635 )
free ,
use (
5663 )
it rather .
*
For he that is called (
5685 )
in the Lord ,
being a servant ,
is (
5748 )
the Lords freeman :
likewise also he that is called (
5685 ),
being free ,
is (
5748 )
Christs servant .
*
Ye are bought (
5681 )
with a price ;
be not ye (
5737 )
the servants of men .
*
Brethren ,
let every man ,
wherein he is called (
5681 ),
therein abide (
5720 )
with God .
*
Now concerning virgins I have (
5719 )
no commandment of the Lord :
yet I give (
5719 )
my judgment ,
as one that hath obtained mercy (
5772 )
of the Lord to be (
5750 )
faithful .
*
I suppose (
5719 )
therefore that this is (
5721 )
good for the present (
5761 )
distress ,
I say ,
that it is good for a man so to be (
5750 ).
*
Art thou bound (
5769 )
unto a wife ?
seek (
5720 )
not to be loosed .
Art thou loosed (
5769 )
from a wife ?
seek (
5720 )
not a wife .
*
But and if thou marry (
5661 ),
thou hast not sinned (
5627 );
and if a virgin marry (
5661 ),
she hath not sinned (
5627 ).
Nevertheless such shall have (
5692 )
trouble in the flesh :
but I spare (
5736 )
you .
*
But this I say (
5748 ),
brethren ,
the time is short (
5772 ):
it remaineth (
5748 ),
that both they that have (
5723 )
wives be (
5753 )
as though they had (
5723 )
none ;
*
And they that weep (
5723 ),
as though they wept (
5723 )
not ;
and they that rejoice (
5723 ),
as though they rejoiced (
5723 )
not ;
and they that buy (
5723 ),
as though they possessed (
5723 )
not ;
*
And they that use (
5740 )
this world ,
as not abusing (
5740 )
it :
for the fashion of this world passeth away (
5719 ).
*
But I would have (
5750 ) (
5719 )
you without carefulness .
He that is unmarried careth (
5719 )
for the things that belong to the Lord ,
how he may please (
5692 )
the Lord :
*
But he that is married (
5660 )
careth (
5719 )
for the things that are of the world ,
how he may please (
5692 )
his wife .
*
There is difference also between (
5769 )
a wife and a virgin .
The unmarried woman careth for (
5719 )
the things of the Lord ,
that she may be (
5753 )
holy both in body and in spirit :
but she that is married (
5660 )
careth (
5719 )
for the things of the world ,
how she may please (
5692 )
her husband .
*
And this I speak (
5719 )
for your own profit (
5723 );
not that I may cast (
5632 )
a snare upon you ,
but for that which is comely ,
and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction .
*
But if any man think (
5719 )
that he behaveth himself uncomely (
5721 )
toward his virgin ,
if she pass the flower of her age (
5753 ),
and need (
5719 )
so require (
5738 ),
let him do (
5720 )
what he will (
5719 ),
he sinneth (
5719 )
not :
let them marry (
5720 ).
*
Nevertheless he that standeth (
5707 ) (
5758 )
stedfast in his heart ,
having (
5723 )
no necessity ,
but hath (
5719 )
power over his own will ,
and hath so decreed (
5758 )
in his heart that he will keep (
5721 )
his virgin ,
doeth (
5719 )
well .
*
So then he that giveth her in marriage (
5723 )
doeth (
5719 )
well ;
but he that giveth her not in marriage (
5723 )
doeth (
5719 )
better .
*
The wife is bound (
5769 )
by the law as long as her husband liveth (
5719 );
but if her husband be dead (
5686 ),
she is (
5748 )
at liberty to be married (
5683 )
to whom she will (
5719 );
only in the Lord .
*
But she is (
5748 )
happier if she so abide (
5661 ),
after my judgment :
and I think (
5719 )
also that I have (
5721 )
the Spirit of God .
