The New Testament of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.: The common English version, corrected by the final committee of the American Bible Union.
Bible. New Testament
(5)I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among
you, not even one that shall be able to judge between his brethren;
(6)but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
(7)Now therefore, it is altogether a fault among you, because ye go to
law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? Why do ye not
rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? (8)Nay, ye do wrong, and
defraud, and that your brethren. (9)Know ye not that the unrighteous
shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor
abusers of themselves with mankind, (10)nor thieves, nor the covetous,
nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the
kingdom of God. (11)And such were some of you; but ye were washed, but
ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord
Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
(12)All things are lawful for me, but not all things are expedient;
all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the
power of anything. (13)Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats;
but God will destroy both it and them. But the body is not for
fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. (14)And God
both raised the Lord, and will also raise up us by his power.
(15)Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then
take the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? Far be
it! (16)Know ye not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body? For
the two, says he, shall be one flesh. (17)But he that is joined to the
Lord is one spirit. (18)Flee fornication. Every sin that a man commits
is without the body; but he that commits fornication, sins against his
own body. (19)Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy
Spirit, who is in you, whom ye have from God, and ye are not your own?
(20)For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your
body.
VII.
NOW concerning the things whereof ye wrote to me: It is good for a man
not to touch a woman; (2)but because of fornication, let each man have
his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. (3)Let the
husband render to the wife her due; and in like manner the wife also
to the husband. (4)The wife has not power over her own body, but the
husband; and in like manner the husband also has not power over his
own body, but the wife. (5)Defraud not one the other, except it be
with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and
prayer, and come again together, that Satan may not tempt you on
account of your incontinency.
(6)But this I say by way of permission, not of command. (7)But I would
that all men were as myself. But each one has his own gift from God,
one after this manner, and another after that.
(8)And I say to the unmarried and the widows, it is good for them if
they remain as I also am. (9)But if they have not self-control, let
them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.
