1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)1 Corinthians 72 He treateth of marriage, 4 shewing it to be a remedy against fornication: 10 and that the bond thereof ought not lightly to be dissolved. 18, 20 Every man must be content with his vocation. 25 Virginity wherefore to be embraced. 35 And for what respects we may either marry, or abstain from marrying. 7:1 ¶ And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: good [it is] for a man not to touch a woman, 7:2 and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband; 7:3 to the wife let the husband the due benevolence render, and in like manner also the wife to the husband; 7:4 the 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. 7:5 Defraud not one another, except by consent for a time, that ye may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your incontinence; 7:6 and this I say by way of concurrencenot of command, 7:7 for 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. 7:8 And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I [am]; 7:9 and if they have not continencelet them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn; 7:10 and to the married I announcenot I, but the Lordlet not a wife separate from a husband: 7:11 but 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. 7:12 And to the rest I speaknot the Lordif any brother hath a wife unbelieving, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not send her away; 7:13 and a woman who hath a husband unbelieving, and he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not send him away; 7:14 for 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. 7:15 And, if the unbelieving doth separate himselflet him separate himself: the brother or the sister is not under servitude in such [cases], and in peace hath God called us; 7:16 for 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? 7:17 if not, as God did distribute to each, as the Lord hath called eachso let him walk; and thus in all the assemblies do I direct: 7:18 being circumcisedwas any one called? let him not become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was any one called? let him not be circumcised; 7:19 the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothingbut a keeping of the commands of God. 7:20 Each in the calling in which he was calledin this let him remain; 7:21 a servantwast thou called? be not anxious; but if also thou art able to become freeuse [it] rather; 7:22 for he who [is] in the Lordhaving been called a servantis the Lord's freedman: in like manner also he the freeman, having been called, is servant of Christ: 7:23 with a price ye were bought, become not servants of men; 7:24 each, in that in which he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God. 7:25 And concerning the virgins, a command of the Lord I have not; and I give judgment as having obtained kindness from the Lord to be faithful: 7:26 I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the present necessity, that [it is] good for a man that the matter be thus: 7:27 Hast thou been bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; hast thou been loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 7:28 But 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. 7:29 And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having been shortenedthat both those having wives may be as not having; 7:30 and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing; 7:31 and those using this world, as not using [it] up; for passing away is the fashion of this world. 7:32 And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord; 7:33 and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife. 7:34 The 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. 7:35 And 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, 7:36 and 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 sinlet him marry. 7:37 And he who hath stood stedfast in the heartnot having necessityand hath authority over his own will, and this he hath determined in his heartto keep his own virgindoth well; 7:38 so that both he who is giving in marriage doth well, and he who is not giving in marriage doth better. 7:39 A wife hath been bound by law as long time as her husband may live, and if her husband may sleep, she is free to be married to whom she willonly in the Lord; 7:40 and she is happier if she may so remainaccording to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God. |
