    7for I wish all men to be even as I myself `am'; but each his own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and one thus.

    8And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I `am';

    9and if they have not continence -- let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;

    10and to the married I announce -- not I, but the Lord -- let not a wife separate from a husband:

    11but and if she may separate, let her remain unmarried, or to the husband let her be reconciled, and let not a husband send away a wife.

    12And to the rest I speak -- not the Lord -- if any brother hath a wife unbelieving, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not send her away;

    13and a woman who hath a husband unbelieving, and he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not send him away;

    14for the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified in the husband; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

    15And, if the unbelieving doth separate himself -- let him separate himself: the brother or the sister is not under servitude in such `cases', and in peace hath God called us;

    3to the wife let the husband the due benevolence render, and in like manner also the wife to the husband;

    4the wife over her own body hath not authority, but the husband; and, in like manner also, the husband over his own body hath not authority, but the wife.

    26I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the present necessity, that `it is' good for a man that the matter be thus: --

    27Hast thou been bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; hast thou been loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

    28But and if thou mayest marry, thou didst not sin; and if the virgin may marry, she did not sin; and such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I spare you.

    2for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband;

    3so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man's; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man's.

    32And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;

    33and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife.

    34The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband.

    35And this for your own profit I say: not that I may cast a noose upon you, but for the seemliness and devotedness to the Lord, undistractedly,

    36and if any one doth think `it' to be unseemly to his virgin, if she may be beyond the bloom of age, and it ought so to be, what he willeth let him do; he doth not sin -- let him marry.
