But if they don't have self-control, let them marry. For it's better to marry than to burn.

(but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.

But to the rest I -- not the Lord -- say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.

The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.

Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.

Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.

Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.

Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.

Were you called being a bondservant? Don't let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.

Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.

But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn't sin. Let them marry.

For if I preach the Good News, I have nothing to boast about; for necessity is laid on me; but woe is to me, if I don't preach the Good News.

Neither let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.

Neither let us test the Lord, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.

Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn't fall.

Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor's good.

For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.

Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.

What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.

If any man speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.

But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself, and to God.

Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.

But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.

let your wives keep silent in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as the law also says.

If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to chatter in the assembly.

If any man thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.

But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

Let all things be done decently and in order.

If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."

As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let's also bear the image of the heavenly.

On the first day of the week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.

Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.

Let all that you do be done in love.

If any man doesn't love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Come, Lord!

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;

Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

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

Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.

Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ's, so also we are Christ's.

Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.

But "he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."

And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.

I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.

Through a window I was let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.

But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any "good news" other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.

As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any "good news" other than that which you received, let him be cursed.

I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit.

Let's not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.

But let each man test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor.

But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.

Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don't give up.

So then, as we have opportunity, let's do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus branded on my body.

Therefore he says, "When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men."

"Be angry, and don't sin." Don't let the sun go down on your wrath,

Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice.

But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;

Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.

But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.

Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule. Let us be of the same mind.

Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News,

giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;

Be careful that you don't let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.

Let no one therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,

Let no one rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you;

You are all children of light, and children of the day. We don't belong to the night, nor to darkness,

so then let's not sleep, as the rest do, but let's watch and be sober.

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

Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction,

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone will not work, neither let him eat."

This instruction I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;

for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.

Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.

Let servants be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.

But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,

If any man or woman who believes has widows, let them relieve them, and don't let the assembly be burdened; that it might relieve those who are widows indeed.

Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
