If however anyone considereth it behaving unseemly towards his virginity, if he should be beyond the bloom of life, - and, thus, it ought to come about, what he chooseth, let him do, - he sinneth not: let them marry:

Neither let us commit fornication, as, some of them, committed fornication, and there fell, in one day, three and twenty thousand;

Neither let us be putting the Lord to the test, as, some of them, put him to the test, and, by the serpents, were perishing;

So that, he that thinketh he is standing, let him take heed lest he fall.

Let, no one, be seeking, what concerneth himself, but that which concerneth some one else.

For, if a woman doth not veil herself, let her also be shorn; but, if it were a shame in a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.

But let a man be proving himself, - and, so, of the loaf, let him eat, and, of the cup, let him drink;

If anyone be hungry, at home, let him eat, lest, unto judgment, ye be coming together. And, the remaining things, whensoever I come, I will set in order.

Wherefore, he that speaketh with a tongue, let him pray that he may translate;

What, then, is it, brethren? Whensoever ye are coming together, each one, hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath a translation: - let, all things, be done, unto building up.

If, with a tongue, one is speaking, let it be by two, or, at the most, three, - and by turns; and let, one, be translating;

But, if there be none to translate, let him keep silence in assembly, and, unto himself, be speaking, and, unto God!

Prophets, moreover, let two or three speak, and let, the others, judge.

If, however, unto another, a revelation be made, as he is sitting, let the first be silent;

As for the women, in the assemblies, let them be silent, for it is not permitted them to be speaking; but let them be in submission, - even as, the law, saith.

If, however, they are wishing to learn something, at home, their own husbands, let them question; for it is a shame for a woman to be speaking in assembly.

If anyone thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritually gifted, let him acknowledge the things which I am writing to you, - that they are, a commandment, of the Lord.

But let, all things, with comeliness, and by arrangement, be done.

If, after the manner of men, I have fought with wild-beasts at Ephesus, what, to me, the profit? If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for, tomorrow, we die.

And, even as we have borne the image of the man of earth, let us also bear the image of the man of heaven.

Upon the first of the week, let, each one of you, put, by itself, in store, as he may be prospering, - lest, as soon as I come, then, collections, should be in progress.

Let no one then despise him; and set ye him forward in peace, that he may come unto me, for I expect him with the brethren.

Let, all your affairs, in love, be carried on.

If anyone doth not dearly love the Lord, let him be anathema that is, "accursed" : Maran atha that is, "The Lord, cometh" .

Having therefore, these, promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from all pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in fear of God.

The things that lie on the surface, ye are looking at: - if anyone hath come to trust in himself that he is, Christ's, this, let him reckon, again, with himself - that, even as, he, is Christ's, so, also are, we.

This, let such a one reckon - that, what we are, in our word, through means of letters, being absent, such, also, being present, are we, in our deed.

He that boasteth, however, in the Lord, let him boast;

Again, I say - let no one deem me to be, foolish; but, otherwise, at least, as foolish, give me welcome, that, I also, some little, may boast myself.

And, through a window, was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.

But let it be! - I, myself, did not burden you, - Notwithstanding, being crafty, with guile, I caught you?

But, even if, we, or, a messenger out of heaven, announce a glad-message unto youaside from that which we announced unto you, accursed, let him be!

As we have said before, even now, again, I say: If anyone is announcing unto you a glad-message aside from that which ye accepted, accursed, let him be!

If we live by Spirit, by Spirit, let us also walk.

Let us not become vain-glorious, - one another, challenging, one another, envying.

But, his own work, let each one be putting to the proof, and, then, for himself alone, the matter of boasting, shall he have, and not for some other,

Howbeit, let him who is being orally instructed in the word, have fellowship with him that is so instructing him, in all good things.

And, in doing that which is honourable, let us not be fainthearted; for, in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.

Hence, then, as we have opportunity, let us be working what is good, towards all, - but, especially, towards the family of the faith.

For the rest, annoyances, unto me, let no one be offering; for, I, the brandmarks of Jesus, in my body, am bearing.

Be ye angry, and not committing sin, let not the sun be going down upon your angry mood,

Let, the stealer, no more, steal, but rather let him be toiling, - working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have wherewith to be giving away to him that hath need;

Let, no putrid discourse, out of your mouth, be going forth, but if anything is good - suited to the needful upbuilding, - that it may give benefit unto them that hear;

All bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and outcry, and profane speaking, let it be taken away from you, with all baseness;

But, fornication, and all impurity, or covetousness, let it not be named among you - even as becometh saints;

Let no one be deceiving you with empty words; for, because of these things, is coming the anger of God upon the sons of obstinacy:

As many, therefore, as are full-grown, let, this, be our resolve; and, if, somewhat differently, ye are resolved, this, also, shall, God, unto you reveal.

Let, your considerateness, be known unto all men. The Lord, is near: -

For nothing, be anxious, but, in everything, by your prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let, your petitions, be made known unto God;

I know what it is even to be kept low, and I know what it is to have more than enough, - in every way, and in all things, have I been let into the secret - both to be well fed, and to be hungering, both to have more than enough, and to be coming short:

Let no one, therefore, be judging, you, - in eating and in drinking, or in respect of feast, or new moon, or sabbath, -

Let, no one, against you, be arbitrating, however wishful, - in respect of lowliness of mind, and of a religious observance of the messengers: upon what things he hath seen, taking his stand, in vain, puffed up by his carnal mind, -

And let, the peace of Christ, act as umpire in your hearts, unto which ye have been called in onebody, and be thankful:

Let, the word of the Christ, dwell within you richly, - in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another, with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, with gratitude, raising song with your hearts unto God:

Hence, then, let us not be sleeping, as the rest, but let us watch and be sober: -

But, we, being of the day, let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and, for helmet, the hope of salvation.

For, even when we were with you, this, were we giving in charge unto you, - that, if any will not work, neither let him eat!

Let, a woman, in quietness, be learning in all submission;

But let, these also, be proved first, then, let them be ministering, being, unaccusable:

Let, ministers, be husbands of, one wife, over children, presiding, well, and over their own houses;

Let, no one, despise, thy youth, but, an ensample, become thou of the faithful, - in discourse, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in chastity.

Howbeit, if, any widow, hath, children or grandchildren, let them be learning - first, unto their own house, to be shewing reverence, and, returns, to be making unto their progenitors; for, this, is acceptable before God;

Let, a widow, be put on the list - having become, not less than sixty years old, one man's, wife,

If any, believing woman, hath widows, let her be giving them succour, and not suffer the assembly to be burdened, - that, them who are indeed widows, it may itself succour.

Let, the well presiding elders, of double honour, be accounted worthy, especially they who toil in discourse and teaching;

Let, as many as are servants under a yoke, be counting, their own masters, worthy, of all honour, lest, the name of God and the teaching, be defamed.

They, however, that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are, brethren but, the more, be doing them service, because, believing and beloved, are they who, from the good workmanship, receive advantage. These things, be teaching, and exhorting: -

Howbeit, the firm foundation of God, standeth, having this seal - The Lord hath acknowledged them who are his, and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord stand aloof from unrighteousness.

As to these things, be speaking and exhorting and reproving, with all manner of precept: let, no one, disregard thee!

Moreover, let our own learn to be forward, in honourable works, for the necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.

But, whensoever he again introduceth the first-begotten into the habitable earth, he saith - And let all God's messengers worship him!

Let us therefore fear, lest at any time, although there is left behind a promise of entering into his rest, - any one from amongst you should be deemed, to have come short;

Let us, therefore, give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall into the same example, of obstinacy.

Having then a great high-priest who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession;

Let us, then, be approaching with freedom of speech, unto the throne of favour, that we may receive mercy, and, favour, may find, for seasonable succour.

Wherefore, dismissing the elementary discourse concerning the Christ, unto maturity, let us be tending, not, again, a foundation, laying down - of repentance from dead works, and of faith towards God,

Let us approach with a genuine heart, in full assurance of faith, having been sprinkled, as to our hearts, from an evil conscience, and bathed, as to our bodies, with pure water;

Let us hold fast the confession of the hope without wavering, - for, faithful, is he that hath promised;

And let us attentively consider one another, to provoke unto love and noble works, -

Therefore, indeed, seeing that, we also, have encircling us, so great a cloud of witnesses, stripping off every incumbrance and the easily entangling sin, with endurance, let us be running, the race that is lying before us,

Wherefore, seeing that, of a kingdom not to be shaken, we are receiving possession, let us have gratitude - whereby we may be rendering divine service well-pleasingly unto God, with reverence and awe;

Let brotherly love continue.

Let marriage be honourable in all, and the bed undefiled, for, fornicators and adulterers, God, will judge.

Now, therefore, let us be going forth unto him, outside the camp, his reproach bearing.

Through him, let us be offering up a sacrifice of praise, continually, unto God; that is, a fruit of lips confessing unto his name.

But let, your endurance, have, mature work, that ye may be mature and complete, in nothing, coming short.

But, if any of you is sinning short of wisdom, let him be asking of God, Who giveth unto all freely and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him;

But let him be asking in faith, nothing, doubting, for, he that doubteth, is like a wave of the sea, wind-driven and storm-tossed, -

For let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord -

Let, no one, while tempted, be saying - From God, am I tempted, - for, God, cannot be tempted by things evil, and, himself, tempteth no one;

Ye know, my brethren beloved, - but let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

Who is wise and well-instructed-among you? Let him show, out of his comely behaviour, his works, in meekness of wisdom.

Be miserable and lament and weep, let, your laughter, into lamentation, be turned, and, your joy, into dejection;

But, before all things, my brethren, do not swear, - either by heaven, or by the earth, or by any other oath; but let your Yea be yea, and your Nay nay, - lest, under judgment, ye fall.

In distress, is any among you? Let him pray; Cheerful, is any? Let him strike the strings;

Sick, is any among you? Let him call unto him the elders of the assembly, and let them pray for him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; -

Whose adorning, let it be - not the outward, of plaiting the hair and wearing golden ornaments, or putting on of apparel,

For, he that desireth to love, life, and to see good days, Let him cause his tongue to cease from mischief, and lips, that they speak not deceit;

Let him turn away from mischief, and do good, Let him seek peace, and pursue it;

For let, none of you, be suffering as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as one prying into other men's affairs;
