Even to this present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are poorly clothed, and are maltreated, and wander about without a home,

But, to avoid lewd practices, let every man have his own wife, and every woman her own husband.

The wife has not power over her own body, but the husband; likewise, also, the husband has not power over his own body, but the wife.

But to the married I give commandment, not I, but the Lord: Let not the wife leave her husband:

but if she leave him, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and, let not the husband put away his wife.

But to the rest, I, and not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife that believes not, and she is well pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

And if any woman has a husband that believes not, and he is well pleased to dwell with her, let her not put him away.

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

So then, even he that gives her in marriage, does well; but he that gives her not in marriage, does better.

The wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband die, she is free to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord.

But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered, dishonors her head: for it is one and the same as if she was shaved.

For if a woman has no vail on, let her also be shaved. But if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her have a vail.

For this reason ought the woman to have a token of subjection on her head, on account of the angels.

Does not nature itself teach you, that, if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a vail.

For, in the first place, when you come together in the church, I hear that there are schisms among you, and I partly believe it:

does nothing unbecoming, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil,

In the law it is written: Through men of other tongues and other lips will I speak to this people; and not even thus will they hear me, says the Lord.

And why are we in danger every hour?
