    33But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please [his] wife.

    34There 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.

    35And 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.

    36¶ 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.

    37Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

    38So then he that giveth [her] in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth [her] not in marriage doeth better.

    39¶ The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

    40But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

    24Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

    25¶ 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.

    26I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, [I say], that [it is] good for a man so to be.

    27Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

    28But 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.

    29But this I say, brethren, the time [is] short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

    30And 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;

    31And they that use this world, as not abusing [it]: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

    1¶ Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.

    2Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

    3Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

    4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

    5Defraud ye not one the other, except [it be] with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

    6But I speak this by permission, [and] not of commandment.

    7For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

    8I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

    9But 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:

    11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to [her] husband: and let not the husband put away [his] wife.

    12But 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.

    13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

    14For 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.

    15But 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.

    16For 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.

    3So then if, while [her] husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
