\subsection{I Corinthians 7}
|
|
\VS{1} Now concerning what you wrote, [it is] good for [a] man not to be touching\footnote{or
|
|
``holding'', ``grasping''} [a] woman.
|
|
\VS{2} But on account of fornication
|
|
let\fnImperative{} each be having his own wife, and
|
|
let\fnImperative{} each be having one's own husband.
|
|
\VS{4} The wife does not authority over her own body, but the husband [does];
|
|
so likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife [does].
|
|
\VS{5} Be not depriving each other, except by agreement for [an] opportune-time\fnKairos{}
|
|
in order that you be devoted in prayer, and again be [brought] together, in order that
|
|
Satan not be testing you on account [of your] lack of self control.
|
|
\VS{6} But this I say as [a] concession, not as [a] command.
|
|
\VS{7} But I want all men to be even as
|
|
myself; but each has his own gift\footnote{from GRACE} from God, one thus,
|
|
another thus.
|
|
\VS{8} So I say to the unmarried and to the widows, [it is] good for
|
|
them if they remain as I,
|
|
\VS{9} but if they cannot have self-control,
|
|
let\fnImperative{} them marry. For it is better to be marrying than to
|
|
be burning.
|
|
\VS{10} So I call upon those married, not I but the Lord, that
|
|
[the] wife not be separated from [her] husband
|
|
\VS{11} --- but if she be separated,
|
|
let\fnImperative{} her be remaining unmarried or
|
|
let\fnImperative{} her be being reconciled to her husband --- and the
|
|
husband not be putting away [his] wife.
|
|
\VS{12} But to the rest I myself say, not
|
|
the Lord, if any brother has [a] non-believing wife, and this [woman] consents to be
|
|
living with him, let\fnImperative{} him not be putting her away.
|
|
\VS{13} And if any wife has [a] non-believing [husband], and this [man] consents to be living with her, let\fnImperative{} her not be putting away [her] husband.
|
|
\VS{14} For the non-believing husband is made holy by the wife, and the
|
|
non-believing wife is made holy by the brother.
|
|
\VS{15} But if the
|
|
non-believing [one] separates, let\fnImperative{} him be separating, the
|
|
brother or sister is not enslaved in such [cases]; but God has called us to peace.
|
|
\VS{16} For what do you know, O wife, if you will save [your] husband? Or what do
|
|
you know, O husband, if you will save your wife?
|
|
|
|
\VS{17} Except to each as God has distributed, each as God has called [him], thus
|
|
let\fnImperative{} him be walking. And thus do I command in all the
|
|
assemblies\fnEkklhsia{}.
|
|
\VS{18} Is anyone called being circumcised?
|
|
Let\fnImperative{} him not be becoming as uncircumcised. Is anyone
|
|
called in uncircumcision? Let\fnImperative{} him not be becoming
|
|
circumcised.
|
|
\VS{19} Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing,
|
|
but the keeping of the commandments of God.
|
|
\VS{20} Each in the calling in
|
|
which he was called, in this let\fnImperative{} him be abiding.
|
|
\VS{21} Were you called [a] slave? Let\fnImperative{} it not be [a] care to
|
|
you. But if you are able to become free, rather make use of [it].
|
|
\VS{22} For
|
|
the [one] having been called in the Lord [a] slave is [a] freeman of the Lord; likewise
|
|
the [one] having been called free is [a] slave of Christ.
|
|
\VS{23} You were bought
|
|
with [a] price; do not become slaves of men.
|
|
\VS{24} Each in which he was
|
|
called, brothers, in this let\fnImperative{} him be abiding with God.
|
|
|
|
\VS{25} Now concerning virgins, I do not have [a] command from the Lord, so I
|
|
give knowledge as [one] having received mercy by the Lord to be trustworthy.
|
|
\VS{26} I therefore think this to be good on account of the present
|
|
distress.
|
|
\VS{27} Are you bound to [a] wife? Do not seek release. Are you
|
|
loosed from [a] wife? Do not seek [a] wife.
|
|
\VS{28} But if you marry, you have not
|
|
sinned. But such will have tribulation in the flesh, but I [would] spare you.
|
|
\VS{29} So this I say, brothers, the opportune-time\fnKairos{} is shortened, the
|
|
remainder [is] that those having wives be as not having,
|
|
\VS{30} and those
|
|
weeping as not weeping, and those rejoicing as not rejoicing, and those
|
|
buying as not possessing,
|
|
\VS{31} and those making use of the world as
|
|
though not making full use of [it]; for the form of this world passes away.
|
|
\VS{32} But I wish you to be without anxiety. The unmarried is anxious for
|
|
the [things] of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
|
|
\VS{33} but the [one] having
|
|
married is anxious for the [things] of the world, how he may please [his] wife,
|
|
\VS{34}
|
|
and he is anxious. And the unmarried woman and virgin is anxious for the
|
|
[things] of the Lord, in order that she be holy both in body and in spirit. But the
|
|
[one] having married is anxious for the [things] of the world, how she may please her
|
|
husband.
|
|
\VS{35} But I say this [thing] to your profit, not in order that I throw
|
|
[a] snare\footnote{or ``noose''}, but towards propriety and consistency to the
|
|
Lord undistracted.
|
|
\VS{36} But if anyone thinks he behaves indecently toward
|
|
his virgin\footnote{''fianc\'{e}'', ``daughter''?}, if she be past the
|
|
flower [of you]th, and he ought to become thus, what he wishes,
|
|
let\fnImperative{} him be doing, he does not sin,
|
|
let\fnImperative{} them marry.
|
|
\VS{37} But who stands firm in his
|
|
heart not having necessity, but has authority concerning his own wants, and
|
|
has judged in his own heart, to be keeping his own virgin, he will do well.
|
|
\VS{38} So that the [one] marrying his own virgin does well, and the [one] not
|
|
marrying will do better.
|
|
\VS{39} [A] woman is bound for as much time as her
|
|
husband zoe-lives\fnZoe{}. But if the husband sleep\footnote{i.e. ``die''} she is free
|
|
to marry whom she wants, only in the Lord.
|
|
\VS{40} But she is more blessed
|
|
if she remains thus, according to my knowledge; but I seem\footnote{or
|
|
``suppose''} to be also having [the] spirit of God.
