1 Corinthians 7

Settings

• 7:1Now concerning the things of which you wrote: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Compare
• 7:2But because of fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. Compare
• 7:3Let the husband render to his wife that which is due, and likewise also the wife to the husband. Compare
• 7:4The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise the husband also does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Compare
• 7:5Do not deprive each other, except by agreement for a time that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and then be together again, that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. Compare
• 7:6But this I say by way of concession, not by way of command. Compare
• 7:7Yet I wish all men to be even as I am myself; but each has his own gift from God, one in this way, the other in that. Compare
• 7:8But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them if they remain even as I am. Compare
• 7:9But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with desire. Compare
• 7:10But to the married I charge, not I but the Lord, A wife must not be separated from her husband Compare
• 7:11(But if indeed she is separated, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband), and a husband must not leave his wife. Compare
• 7:12But to the rest I say, I, not the Lord, If any brother has an unbelieving wife and she consents to dwell with him, he must not leave her; Compare
• 7:13And a wife who has an unbelieving husband, and if he consents to dwell with her, must not leave her husband. Compare
• 7:14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the brother; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. Compare
• 7:15But if the unbelieving one separates, let him separate; the brother or the sister is not enslaved in such cases, but God has called us in peace. Compare
• 7:16For 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? Compare
• 7:17However as the Lord has apportioned to each one, as God has called each one, so let him walk. And so I direct in all the churches. Compare
• 7:18Was anyone called having been circumcised? He need not efface it. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? He need not be circumcised. Compare
• 7:19Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of God's commandments is what counts. Compare
• 7:20Each one, in the calling in which he was called, in this let him remain. Compare
• 7:21Were you called as a slave? Let it not concern you; but even if you are able to become free, use your status as a slave rather. Compare
• 7:22For the slave who has been called in the Lord is the Lord's freedman; likewise the free man who has been called is Christ's slave. Compare
• 7:23You were bought with a price; do not be slaves of men. Compare
• 7:24Each one, brothers, in what status he was called, in this let him remain with God. Compare
