    1And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: good `it is' for a man not to touch a woman,

    2and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband;

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

    17And he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit;

    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;

    16for what, hast thou known, O wife, whether the husband thou shalt save? or what, hast thou known, O husband, whether the wife thou shalt save?
