Here, moreover, it is required among stewards, that every one must be found faithful.

but on account of fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

The wife has not the authority over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband has not the authority over his own body, but the wife.

But I proclaim to those who have married, not I, but the Lord, That a wife shall not depart from her husband

(but if indeed she may depart, let her remain unmarried, or let her be reconciled unto her husband); and that the husband shall not send away the wife.

But I say to the rest, not the Lord, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is willing to live with him, let him not send her away.

And if any wife has an unbelieving husband, and he is willing to live with her, let her not send away her husband.

But if the unbeliever departs, let him or her depart; the brother or the sister has not been enslaved in such things. God has called you in peace.

If not as the Lord has imparted to each one, and as God has called each one, so let him or her walk. And thus I command in all the churches.

A wife and a virgin truly also differ: the unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but she having married cares for the things of the world, that she may please her husband.

So indeed he that marries his own virgin does well; and he that marries her not will do better.

A wife has been given so long a time as her husband may live; but if her husband may die, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for that is one and the same to her being shaven.

If a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it is a disgrace for a woman to be shorn or shaven; let her be covered.

Therefore the woman ought to have authority on her head, on account of the angels.

But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory unto her: because the hair has been given to her for a covering.
