    10To the married I give this command—not I, but the Lord: A wife must not separate from her husband.

    11But if she does, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

    12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.

    13And if a woman has a husband who is an unbeliever and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.

    1Now concerning the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

    2But because of sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.

    3The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.

    4The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

    5Do not deprive one another, except by mutual agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

    2For a married woman is legally bound to her husband while he is alive; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him.

    3Consequently, while her husband is still alive, she would be called an adulteress if she joins herself to another man; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so she would not be an adulteress by becoming another man’s wife.

    4Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another—to Him who was raised from the dead—in order that we might bear fruit for God.

    32I want you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord.

    33But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife.

    34And his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs. Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband.

    35I am saying this for your benefit, not to restrict you, but so that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.

    36If anyone is worried that he might not be acting honorably toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if his passions are strong and he feels it must be so, let him do as he wants. He is not sinning; they should marry.

    24As the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

    25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her,

    26to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing of water through the word,

    27and to present her to Himself as a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.

    28In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

    29For no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,

    29This is what I mean, brothers and sisters: The time is short. From now on, those who have wives should live as if they do not.
