1 Corinthians 7:25
Concerning unmarried women I have no command to give you from the Lord; but I offer you my opinion, which is that of a man who, through the Lord's mercy, is deserving of your confidence.
1 Corinthians 7:6
Thus much in the way of concession, not of command.
1 Corinthians 4:2
This being so, it follows that fidelity is what is required in stewards.
1 Corinthians 7:12
To the rest it is I who speak--not the Lord. If a brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, let him not send her away.
1 Corinthians 7:10
But to those already married my instructions are--yet not mine, but the Lord's--that a wife is not to leave her husband;
1 Corinthians 7:28
