1 Corinthians 7
2 Ref and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband;
3 Ref to the wife let the husband the due benevolence render, and in like manner also the wife to the husband;
4 Ref 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.
5 Ref 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;
6 Ref and this I say by way of concurrence -- not of command,
7 Ref 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.
8 Ref And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I `am';
9 Ref and if they have not continence -- let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;
10 Ref and to the married I announce -- not I, but the Lord -- let not a wife separate from a husband:
11 Ref 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.
12 Ref And to the rest I speak -- not the Lord -- if any brother hath a wife unbelieving, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not send her away;
13 and a woman who hath a husband unbelieving, and he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not send him away;
14 Ref 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.
15 Ref And, if the unbelieving doth separate himself -- let him separate himself: the brother or the sister is not under servitude in such `cases', and in peace hath God called us;
16 Ref 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?
