1 Corinthians 7

1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

Concerning now [the] things about which you wrote (to me *KO) [It is] good for a man a woman not to touch;

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

Because of however sexual immorality each man his own wife should have, and each [woman] the [her] own husband should have.

3 Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.

To the wife the husband the (debt *N+kO) (good will *K) should fulfill; likewise now also the wife to the husband.

4 The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

The wife [her] own body not has authority over but the husband; likewise now also the husband [his] own body not has authority over but the wife.

5 Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

Not do deprive one another if surely even when by mutual agreement for a time, that (you may be devoted *N+kO) (to fastings and *K) to prayer and again together the same (may be, *N+kO) so that not may tempt you Satan through the lack of self-control of you.

6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

This now I say by way of concession not by way of command.

7 Yet I wish that all men were like me. However, each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.

I wish (now *N+kO) all men to be like even myself; But each [their] own has gift from God, (one [has] *N+kO) indeed this, (one *N+kO) however that.

8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.

I say now to the unmarried and to the widows, good for them (it is *k) if they shall remain as also I. myself also I. myself

9 But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.

If however not they have self-control, they should marry; better for it is (to marry *NK+o) than to burn with passion.

10 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband

To those now having married I give this charge — not I myself but the Lord — A wife from a husband not is to be separated;

11 (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.

if however indeed she shall be separated, she should remain unmarried or to the husband she should be reconciled; and a husband a wife not is to send away.

12 But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.

To the now rest say I myself — not the Lord: If any brother a wife has unbelieving and she consents to dwell with him, not he should divorce her;

13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.

And a woman (if *NO) (any *N+kO) has a husband unbelieving and (he *N+kO) consents to dwell with her, not she should divorce (the *no) (husband. *N+kO)

14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

Has been sanctified for the husband unbelieving in the wife, and has been sanctified the wife unbelieving in the (brother; *N+kO) else then the children of you unclean are, now however holy they are.

15 Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.

If however the unbeliever separates himself, he should separate himself; not has bee under bondage the brother or the sister in such [cases]; Into however peace has called (you *N+KO) God.

16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

How for know you, wife, if the husband you will save? Or how know you, husband, if the wife you will save?

17 Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.

only except to each as (has assigned *NK+o) the Lord to each as has called God so he should walk; And thus in the churches all I prescribe.

18 Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.

circumcised anyone was called? Not he should become uncircumcised; In uncircumcision (has been called *N+kO) anyone Not he should d be circumcise.

19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.

Circumcision no [thing] is and uncircumcision no [thing] is but keeping [the] commandments of God.

20 Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.

Each in the calling in which he has been called, in this he should abide.

21 Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.

Slave [being] were you called? not you should it concern; but if even you are able free to become, rather do take advantage.

22 For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord’s free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ’s bondservant.

The [one] for in [the] Lord having been called [being] a slave a freedman of [the] Lord is; likewise (and *k) the [one] free having been called a slave is of Christ.

23 You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.

With a price you were bought; not do become slaves of men.

24 Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.

Each wherein that he was called, brothers, in that he should abide with God.

25 Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.

Concerning now the virgins a commandment of [the] Lord not I have, judgment however I give as received mercy from [the] Lord trustworthy to be.

26 Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to remain as he is.

I think therefore this good being because of the being present necessity, that [it is] good for a man in the same manner to remain.

27 Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.

Have you been bound to a wife? Not do seek to be loosed; Have you been loosed from a wife? Not do seek a wife.

28 But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.

If however also you shall marry, not you did sin; and if shall marry the virgin, not she did sin; tribulation however in the flesh will have such; I myself now you am sparing.

29 But I say this, brothers: the time is short. From now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;

This now I say, brothers: The season shortened (is; *no) From now on (is *k) that both those having wives as none having may be,

30 and those who weep, as though they didn’t weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn’t rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn’t possess;

and those weeping as not weeping, and those rejoicing as not rejoicing, and those buying as not possessing,

31 and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.

and those using (world *N+kO) (this *K) as not using [it] as their own. Is passing away for the present form of the world this;

32 But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

I desire now you without concern to be. The unmarried man cares for the [things] of the Lord, how (he may please *N+kO) the Lord;

33 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

the [one] however having been married he cares for the [things] of the world, how (he may please *N+kO) the wife,

34 There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.

(and *no) has he been divided. And the woman unmarried and virgin cares for the [things] of the Lord, that she may be holy both (in *no) body and (in the *no) spirit; the [one] however having been married she cares for the [things] of the world, how (she may please *N+kO) the husband.

35 This I say for your own benefit, not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.

This now for the of you yourselves ([your] benefit *N+kO) I say, not that a restraint you I may place upon but for what [is] seemly and devoted to the Lord without distraction.

36 But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn’t sin. Let them marry.

If however anyone to be behaving improperly to the virgin of him supposes, if she shall be beyond youth, and so it ought to be, what he wills he should do; not he does sin, they should marry.

37 But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.

He who however has stood in the heart (of him *no) firm not having necessity, authority however having over the own will, and this has judged in the (own *N+kO) heart to keep his own virgin, well (he will do. *N+kO)

38 So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does better.

So then also the [one] (now *o) (giving in marriage *N+kO) (his own virgin *NO) well does, (and *N+kO) the [one] not (giving in marriage *N+kO) better (will do. *N+kO)

39 A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.

A wife has been bound (to [the] law *K) for as long as time may live the husband of her; if however (and *o) shall have died the husband (of her *k) free she is to whom she wills to be married, only in [the] Lord.

40 But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.

More blessed however she is if in the same manner she shall remain, according to my judgment; I think (now *NK+o) myself also myself also [the] Spirit of God to have.
