every man's work shall be made manifest. For the great day will shew it; because it will be discovered by fire, and the fire will prove every man's work of what sort it is.

(but if she separate, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband;) and that the husband put not away his wife.

But to the rest say I, not the Lord, If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she like to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

Though, if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: such however will probably have more trouble in life: but I spare you.

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

But if any one think that he acts unbecomingly towards his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and that it ought to be so, let him do what he will; he doth not sin: let them marry.

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

but she is happier, in my opinion, if she continue as she is: and I think I have the Spirit of God.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoureth man her head; for it is even all one as if she were shaved.

For if a woman be not covered, she may as well be shorn: but if it be shameful to a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

Though I will shew you a way yet more excellent.

My brethren, be not children in sense: but in malice be infants, and in your judgements shew yourselves to be men.
