Here moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

Even to this very hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace,

Know ye not, that he who is connected with a harlot is one body with her? "For the two," saith he, "shall become one flesh;"

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

Let the husband render to his wife her due; and so also the wife to her husband.

The wife hath not the disposal of her own body, but her husband; and so also the husband hath not the disposal of his own body, but his wife.

But to those who are married it is my command, yet not mine, but the Lords: Let not the wife separate herself from her husband,

and if she have separated herself let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband; and let not the husband put away his wife.

But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she be satisfied to dwell with him, let him not put her away;

and if a wife hath an unbelieving husband, and he be satisfied to dwell with her, let her not put her husband away.

Art thou bound to a wife, seek not to be loosed from her; art thou loosed from a wife, do not seek for one.

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

But if any one thinketh that he behaveth improperly in respect to his virgin [daughter], if she pass the flower of her age [without being married], and if it must be so, let him do what he will, he committeth no sin; let them marry.

So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; and he that doth not give her in marriage doeth better.

The wife is bound to her husband as long as he liveth; but if her husband die, she is free to marry whom she will, only in the Lord.

But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if her head were shaved.

For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn; but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.

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

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

but that if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her? for her hair is given for a covering.

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

doth not behave herself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, maketh no account of an injury,

and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord." Wherefore the tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers, but for believers.

Why also do we stand in peril every hour?
