Even to this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place;

Nevertheless, to avoid lewdness, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

The 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.

And to the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

But if she shall depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, if any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

And the woman who hath a husband that believeth not, and if he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

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

But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself uncomely towards his virgin, if she hath passed the flower of her age, and need so requireth, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.

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

But there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol to this hour eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered, dishonoreth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaved.

For if the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head, because of the angels.

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man hath long hair, it is a shame to him?

But if a woman hath long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak to this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.

And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
