1 Corinthians 7:22-40

  22 G3588 For the G1063   G1722 [³in G2962 ⁴ the Lord G2564 ²being called G1401 ¹slave G558 ⁷freedman G2962 ⁶ the Lord's G1510.2.3 ⁵is]. G3668 In like manner G2532 also G3588 the G1658 free one G2564 being called, G1401 [³slave G1510.2.3 ¹is G5547 ²Christ's].

  23 G5092 With value G59 you were bought; G3361 do not G1096 become G1401 slaves G444 of men!

  24 G1538 Each G1722 in G3739 which G2564 he was called, G80 brethren, G1722 in G3778 this G3306 abide G3844 with G2316 God!

  25 G4012 And concerning G1161   G3588 the G3933 virgins, G2003 [³a command G2962 ⁴of the Lord G3756 ¹I do not G2192 ²have], G1106 but an opinion G1161   G1325 I give G5613 as G1653 one being shown mercy G5259 by G2962 the Lord G4103 to be trustworthy. G1510.1  

  26 G3543 I think G3767 then G3778 this G2570 [² is good G5224 ¹existing] G1223 because of G3588 the G1764 present G318 necessity, G3754 that G2570 it is good G444 for a man G3588   G3779 so G1510.1 to be.

  27 G1210 Have you been tied G1135 to a wife, G3361 do not G2212 seek G3080 a loosening! G3089 Have you been untied G575 from G1135 a wife, G3361 do not G2212 seek G1135 a wife!

  28 G1437 But if G1161   G2532 also G1060 you should marry, G3756 you sinned not; G264   G2532 and G1437 if G1060 [³should have married G3588 ¹the G3933 ²virgin] G3756 she did not G264 sin; G2347 but affliction G1161   G3588 in the G4561 flesh G2192 [²shall have G3588   G5108 ¹such]. G1473 But I G1161   G1473 spare you. G5339  

  29 G3778 But this G1161   G5346 I say, G80 brethren, G3588 the G2540 [²time G4958 ⁴wrapping up G3588   G3062 ¹remaining G1510.2.3 ³is], G2443 that G2532 also G3588 the ones G2192 having G1135 wives, G5613 [²as G3361 ³not G2192 ⁴having G1510.3 ¹should be].

  30 G2532 And G3588 the ones G2799 weeping, G5613 as G3361 not G2799 weeping; G2532 and G3588 the ones G5463 rejoicing, G5613 as G3361 not G5463 rejoicing; G2532 and G3588 the ones G59 buying, G5613 as G3361 not G2722 holding possessions .

  31 G2532 And G3588 the ones G5530 dealing G3588 in G2889 this world, G3778   G5613 as G3361 not G2710 abusing it . G3855 [⁵passes by G1063 ¹For G3588 ²the G4976 ³condition G3588   G2889 ⁴of this world]. G3778  

  32 G2309 But I want G1161   G1473 you G275 to be free from care. G1510.1   G3588 The G22 unmarried G3309 is anxious for G3588 the things G3588 of the G2962 Lord, G4459 how G700 he is pleasing G3588 to the G2962 Lord;

  33 G3588 but the one G1161   G1060 married G3309 is anxious for G3588 the things G3588 of the G2889 world, G4459 how G700 he pleases G3588 the G1135 wife.

  34 G3307 [⁶are assigned a part G2532 ⁷even G3588 ¹The G1135 ²wife G2532 ³and G3588 ⁴the G3933 ⁵virgin]. G3588 The G22 unmarried G3309 is anxious for G3588 the things G3588 of the G2962 Lord, G2443 that G1510.3 she might be G39 holy, G2532 both G4983 in body G2532 and G4151 in spirit; G3588 but she G1161   G1060 having married G3309 is anxious for G3588 the things G3588 of the G2889 world, G4459 how G700 she shall please G3588 the G435 husband.

  35 G3778 But this G1161   G4314 for G3588   G1473 your own G1473   G4851 advantage G3004 I speak, G3756 not G2443 that G1029 [²a noose G1473 ¹I should put] around you, G1911   G235 but G4314 [²to G3588 ³the G2158 ⁴decent G2532 ⁵and G2145 ⁶well-occupied thing G3588 ⁷with the G2962 ⁸Lord G563 ¹ be undisturbed].

  36 G1487 But if G1161   G5100 anyone G807 [²to be disgraced G1909 ³over G3588   G3933 ⁴his virgin G1473   G3543 ¹thinks], G1437 if G1510.3 she should be G5230 advanced in years, G2532 and G3779 so G3784 it ought G1096 to be G3739 what G2309 he wants G4160 to do, G3756 he does not G264 sin; G1060 let them marry!

  37 G3739 But the one who G1161   G2476 stands G1476 settled G1722 in G3588 the G2588 heart, G3361 not G2192 having G318 necessity, G1849 [³authority G1161 ¹but G2192 ²has] G4012 concerning G3588 his own G2398   G2307 will, G2532 and G3778 this G2919 he has judged G1722 in G3588   G2588 his heart, G1473   G3588   G5083 to give heed to G3588   G1438 his own G3933 virgin, G2573 well G4160 he does.

  38 G5620 So that G2532 also G3588 the one G1547 giving in marriage, G2573 [²well G4160 ¹does]; G3588 and the one G1161   G3361 not G1547 giving in marriage, G2908 [²better G4160 ¹does].

  39 G1135 A wife G1210 is tied G3551 by law G1909 for as long G3745   G5550 a time G2198 [²lives G3588   G435 ¹as her husband]; G1473   G1437 but if G1161   G2837 [²should sleep G3588   G435 ¹her husband], G1473   G1658 she is free G1510.2.3   G3739 to whom G2309 she wants G1060 to marry, G3440 only G1722 in G2962 the Lord.

  40 G3107 But more blessed G1161   G1510.2.3 is she G1437 if G3779 so G3306 she should remain, G2596 according to G3588   G1699 my G1106 opinion; G1380 but I think G1161   G2504 I also G4151 [²spirit G2316 ³of God G2192 ¹have].
