1 Corinthians 7:1-13

1 Corinthians 7:1-13

[1] Now  concerning  the things whereof  ye wrote  It is good  for a man  not  to touch  a woman.  [2] Nevertheless,  to avoid fornication,  every man  have  his own  wife,  and  every woman  have  her own  husband.  [3] the husband  render  unto the wife  and  likewise  also  the wife  unto the husband.  [4] The wife  not  power  of her own  body,  but  the husband:  and  likewise  also  the husband  not  power  of his own  body,  but  the wife.  [5] Defraud ye  not  one the other,  with  consent  for  a time,  that  ye may give yourselves  and  prayer;  and  together  again,  Satan  tempt  for  incontinency.  [6] But  I speak  by  permission,  and not  of  commandment.  [7] I would  that all  men  even  as  I myself.  But  every man  hath  his proper  gift  of  God,  after this manner,  and  after that.  [8] I say  therefore  to the unmarried  and  widows,  good  for them  if  they abide  as  I.  [9] But  if  cannot  contain,  let them marry:  for  better  to marry  than  to burn.  [10] And  unto the married  I command,  yet not  I,  but  the Lord,  not  the wife  depart  from  her husband:  [11] But  and  if  she depart,  let her remain  unmarried,  or  be reconciled  to her husband:  and  not  the husband  put away  his wife.  [12] But  to the rest  speak  I,  not  the Lord:  brother  hath  a wife  that believeth not,  and  she  be pleased  to dwell  with  him,  not  her  away.  [13] And  the woman  hath  an husband  that believeth not,  and  if he  be pleased  to dwell  with  her,  not  leave  him.
