Bible. Corinthians, 1st
46:007:018 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become
uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be
circumcised.
46:007:019 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but
the keeping of the commandments of God.
46:007:020 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
46:007:021 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou
mayest be made free, use it rather.
46:007:022 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.
46:007:023 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
46:007:024 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide
with God.
46:007:025 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.
46:007:026 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present
distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
46:007:027 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou
loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
46:007:028 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin
marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have
trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
46:007:029 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth,
that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
46:007:030 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;
46:007:031 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the
fashion of this world passeth away.
46:007:032 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:
46:007:033 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the
world, how he may please his wife.
46:007:034 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.
46:007:035 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.
46:007:036 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.
