1 Corinthians 7:1-24 : King James Version

7 1Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It
is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2Nevertheless, to
avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every
woman have her own husband. 3Let the husband render unto
the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the
husband. 4The 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. 5Defraud ye not one the other, except
it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to
fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you
not for your incontinency. 6But I speak this by
permission, and not of commandment. 7For I would that all
men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of
God, one after this manner, and another after that. 8I
say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if
they abide even as I. 9But if they cannot contain, let
them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. 10And
unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the
wife depart from her husband: 11But and if she depart,
let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let
not the husband put away his wife. 12But to the rest
speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth
not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not,
and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14For 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. 15But if the
unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not
under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy
husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy
wife? 17But as God hath distributed to every man, as the
Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all
churches. 18Is any man called being circumcised? let him
not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him
not be circumcised. 19Circumcision is nothing, and
uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of
God. 20Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he
was called. 21Art thou called being a servant? care not
for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. 22For
he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's
freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's
servant. 23Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the
servants of men. 24Brethren, let every man, wherein he is
called, therein abide with God.
