(1Cor 7:1-24) [1] Now concerning the things about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
[2] But because of immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
[3] Let the husband fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.
[4] The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband [ does]; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife [does.]
[5] Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again lest Satan tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
[6] But this I say by way of concession, not of command.
[7] Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that.
[8] But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I.
[9] But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.
[10] But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband
[11] (but if she does leave, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not send his wife away.
[12] But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, let him not send her away.
[13] And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, let her not send her husband away.
[14] For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.
[15] Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such [cases,] but God has called us to peace.
[16] For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
[17] Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And thus I direct in all the churches.
[18] Was any man called [already] circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
[19] Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but [what matters is] the keeping of the commandments of God.
[20] Let each man remain in that condition in which he was called.
[21] Were you called while a slave? Do not worry about it; but if you are able also to become free, rather do that.
[22] For he who was called in the Lord while a slave, is the Lord's freedman; likewise he who was called while free, is Christ's slave.
[23] You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.
[24] Brethren, let each man remain with God in that [condition] in which he was called.』
