These things, brethren, I have by a figure transferred to myself and Apollos, for your sakes; that ye may learn in us, not to think of men above what is here written, that ye may not be puffed up for one above another.

Yet, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife; and let every woman have her own husband.

The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband; and in like manner the husband also hath not power over his own body, but the wife.

The married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband.

But if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband.

And let not the husband put away his wife. To the rest speak I, not the Lord. If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

And the wife, who hath an unbelieving husband, that consenteth to live with her, let her not put him away.

There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit: but the married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

The wife is bound as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to marry whom she will; only in the Lord.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered, dishonoureth her head; for it is the same as if she were shaved.

Therefore if a woman is not covered, let her also be shaved: but if it be shameful, for a woman to have her hair shaved off, or cut short, let her be covered.

For this cause also the woman ought to have a veil upon her head, because of the angels.

Whereas for a woman to have long hair, is a glory to her; for her hair was given her instead of a veil.

Doth not behave indecently, seeketh not her own, is not provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not at iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth:
