1 Corinthians 7:8-24
- 8
- I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.
- 9
- But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
- 10
- And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?
- 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.
- 18
- Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
- 19
- Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
- 20
- Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
- 21
- Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
- 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.
- 23
- Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
- 24
- Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
