1 Corinthians - ch 7 v 1 - 20

  1. Now concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
  2. Nevertheless, to avoid lewdness, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
  3. Let the husband render to the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife to the husband.
  4. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
  5. Defraud ye not one the other, except with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan may not tempt you for your incontinence.
  6. But I speak this by permission, and not as a commandment.
  7. For I would that all men were as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.
  8. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they remain even as I.
  9. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
  10. And to the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
  11. But if she shall depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
  12. But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, if any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
  13. And the woman who hath a husband that believeth not, and if he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
  14. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
  15. But if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases; but God hath called us to peace.
  16. For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
  17. But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all churches.
  18. Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not become circumcised.
  19. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
  20. Let every man continue in the same calling in which he was called.
