1 Corinthians 7:25-40

7:25

Now
<1161>

concerning
<4012>

virgins
<3933>

I have
<2192> (5719)

no
<3756>

commandment
<2003>

of the Lord
<2962>_:

yet
<1161>

I give
<1325> (5719)

my judgment
<1106>_,

as
<5613>

one that hath obtained mercy
<1653> (5772)

of
<5259>

the Lord
<2962>

to be
<1511> (5750)

faithful
<4103>_.

7:26

I suppose
<3543> (5719)

therefore
<3767>

that this
<5124>

is
<5225> (5721)

good
<2570>

for
<1223>

the present
<1764> (5761)

distress
<318>_,

[I say], that
<3754>

[it is] good
<2570>

for a man
<444>

so
<3779>

to be
<1511> (5750)_.

{distress: or, necessity}

7:27

Art thou bound
<1210> (5769)

unto a wife
<1135>_?

seek
<2212> (5720)

not
<3361>

to be loosed
<3080> (5769)_.

Art thou loosed
<3089>

from
<575>

a wife
<1135>_?

seek
<2212> (5720)

not
<3361>

a wife
<1135>_.

7:28

But
<1161>

and
<2532>

if
<1437>

thou marry
<1060> (5661)_,

thou hast
<264> (0)

not
<3756>

sinned
<264> (5627)_;

and
<2532>

if
<1437>

a virgin
<3933>

marry
<1060> (5661)_,

she hath
<264> (0)

not
<3756>

sinned
<264> (5627)_.

Nevertheless
<1161>

such
<5108>

shall have
<2192> (5692)

trouble
<2347>

in the flesh
<4561>_:

but
<1161>

I
<1473>

spare
<5339> (5736)

you
<5216>_.

7:29

But
<1161>

this
<5124>

I say
<5346> (5748)_,

brethren
<80>_,

the time
<2540>

[is] short
<4958> (5772)_:

it remaineth
<2076> (5748) <3063>_,

that
<2443>

both
<2532>

they that have
<2192> (5723)

wives
<1135>

be
<5600> (5753)

as though
<5613>

they had
<2192> (5723)

none
<3361>_;

7:30

And
<2532>

they that weep
<2799> (5723)_,

as
<5613>

though they wept
<2799> (5723)

not
<3361>_;

and
<2532>

they that rejoice
<5463> (5723)_,

as
<5613>

though they rejoiced
<5463> (5723)

not
<3361>_;

and
<2532>

they that buy
<59> (5723)_,

as
<5613>

though they possessed
<2722> (5723)

not
<3361>_;

7:31

And
<2532>

they that use
<5530> (5740)

this
<5127>

world
<2889>_,

as
<5613>

not
<3361>

abusing
<2710> (5740)

[it]: for
<1063>

the fashion
<4976>

of this
<5129>

world
<2889>

passeth away
<3855> (5719)_.

7:32

But
<1161>

I would have
<1511> (5750) <2309> (5719)

you
<5209>

without carefulness
<275>_.

He that is unmarried
<22>

careth
<3309> (5719)

for the things that belong to
<3588>

the Lord
<2962>_,

how
<4459>

he may please
<700> (5692)

the Lord
<2962>_:

{that belong...: Gr. of the Lord}

7:33

But
<1161>

he that is married
<1060> (5660)

careth
<3309> (5719)

for the things that are
<3588>

of the world
<2889>_,

how
<4459>

he may please
<700> (5692)

[his] wife
<1135>_.

7:34

There is difference [also] between
<3307> (5769)

a wife
<1135>

and
<2532>

a virgin
<3933>_.

The unmarried woman
<22>

careth for
<3309> (5719)

the things
<3588>

of the Lord
<2962>_,

that
<2443>

she may be
<5600> (5753)

holy
<40>

both
<2532>

in body
<4983>

and
<2532>

in spirit
<4151>_:

but
<1161>

she that is married
<1060> (5660)

careth
<3309> (5719)

for the things
<3588>

of the world
<2889>_,

how
<4459>

she may please
<700> (5692)

[her] husband
<435>_.

7:35

And
<1161>

this
<5124>

I speak
<3004> (5719)

for
<4314>

your
<5216>

own
<846>

profit
<4851> (5723)_;

not
<3756>

that
<2443>

I may cast
<1911> (5632)

a snare
<1029>

upon you
<5213>_,

but
<235>

for that which
<4314>

is comely
<2158>_,

and
<2532>

that ye may attend upon
<2145>

the Lord
<2962>

without distraction
<563>_.

7:36

But
<1161>

if any man
<1536>

think
<3543> (5719)

that he behaveth himself uncomely
<807> (5721)

toward
<1909>

his
<846>

virgin
<3933>_,

if
<1437>

she pass the flower of [her] age
<5230> <5600> (5753)_,

and
<2532>

need
<3784> (5719)

so
<3779>

require
<1096> (5738)_,

let him do
<4160> (5720)

what
<3739>

he will
<2309> (5719)_,

he sinneth
<264> (5719)

not
<3756>_:

let them marry
<1060> (5720)_.

7:37

Nevertheless
<1161>

he
<3739>

that standeth
<2476> (5707) (5758)

stedfast
<1476>

in
<1722>

his heart
<2588>_,

having
<2192> (5723)

no
<3361>

necessity
<318>_,

but
<1161>

hath
<2192> (5719)

power
<1849>

over
<4012>

his own
<2398>

will
<2307>_,

and
<2532>

hath
<2919> (0)

so
<5124>

decreed
<2919> (5758)

in
<1722>

his
<846>

heart
<2588>

that he will keep
<5083> (5721)

his
<1438>

virgin
<3933>_,

doeth
<4160> (5719)

well
<2573>_.

7:38

So
<5620>

then
<2532>

he that giveth [her] in marriage
<1547> (5723)

doeth
<4160> (5719)

well
<2573>_;

but
<1161>

he that giveth [her]
<1547> (0)

not
<3361>

in marriage
<1547> (5723)

doeth
<4160> (5719)

better
<2908>_.

7:39

The wife
<1135>

is bound
<1210> (5769)

by the law
<3551> <1909>

as long
<5550>

as
<3745>

her
<846>

husband
<435>

liveth
<2198> (5719)_;

but
<1161>

if
<1437>

her
<846>

husband
<435>

be dead
<2837> (5686)_,

she is
<2076> (5748)

at liberty
<1658>

to be married
<1060> (5683)

to whom
<3739>

she will
<2309> (5719)_;

only
<3440>

in
<1722>

the Lord
<2962>_.

7:40

But
<1161>

she is
<2076> (5748)

happier
<3107>

if
<1437>

she
<3306> (0)

so
<3779>

abide
<3306> (5661)_,

after
<2596>

my
<1699>

judgment
<1106>_:

and
<1161>

I think
<1380> (5719)

also
<2504>

that I have
<2192> (5721)

the Spirit
<4151>

of God
<2316>_.
