1 Corinthians 7:29-40

  29 G1161 But G5124 this G5346 [G5748] I say G80 , brethren G2540 , the time G4958 [G5772] is short G2076 G3063 [G5748] : it remaineth G2443 , that G2532 both G2192 [G5723] they that have G1135 wives G5600 [G5753] be G5613 as though G2192 [G5723] they had G3361 none;

  30 G2532 And G2799 [G5723] they that weep G5613 , as G2799 [G5723] though they wept G3361 not G2532 ; and G5463 [G5723] they that rejoice G5613 , as G5463 [G5723] though they rejoiced G3361 not G2532 ; and G59 [G5723] they that buy G5613 , as G2722 [G5723] though they possessed G3361 not;

  31 G2532 And G5530 [G5740] they that use G5127 this G2889 world G5613 , as G3361 not G2710 [G5740] abusing G1063 it: for G4976 the fashion G5129 of this G2889 world G3855 [G5719] passeth away.

  32 G1161 But G1511 G2309 [G5750] I would have G5209 you G275 without care G22 . He that is unmarried G3309 [G5719] careth G3588 for the things that belong to G2962 the Lord G4459 , how G700 [G5692] he may please G2962 the Lord:

  33 G1161 But G1060 [G5660] he that is married G3309 [G5719] careth G3588 for the things that are G2889 of the world G4459 , how G700 [G5692] he may please G1135 his wife.

  34 G3307 [G5769] There is a difference also between G1135 a wife G2532 and G3933 a virgin G22 . The unmarried woman G3309 [G5719] careth for G3588 the things G2962 of the Lord G2443 , that G5600 [G5753] she may be G40 holy G2532 both G4983 in body G2532 and G4151 in spirit G1161 : but G1060 [G5660] she that is married G3309 [G5719] careth G3588 for the things G2889 of the world G4459 , how G700 [G5692] she may please G435 her husband.

  35 G1161 And G5124 this G3004 [G5719] I speak G4314 for G5216 your G846 own G4851 [G5723] profit G3756 ; not G2443 that G1911 [G5632] I may cast G1029 a snare G5213 upon you G235 , but G4314 for that which G2158 is seemly G2532 , and G2145 that ye may attend upon G2962 the Lord G563 without distraction.

  36 G1161 But G1536 if any man G3543 [G5719] thinketh G807 [G5721] that he behaveth himself unseemly G1909 toward G846 his G3933 virgin G1437 , if G5230 G5600 [G5753] she hath passed the flower of her age G2532 , and G3784 [G5719] need G3779 so G1096 [G5738] requireth G4160 [G5720] , let him do G3739 what G2309 [G5719] he will G264 [G5719] , he sinneth G3756 not G1060 [G5720] : let them marry.

  37 G1161 Nevertheless G3739 he G2476 [G5707] that standeth G1476 steadfast G1722 in G2588 his heart G2192 [G5723] , having G3361 no G318 necessity G1161 , but G2192 [G5719] hath G1849 power G4012 over G2398 his own G2307 will G2532 , and G2919 0 hath G5124 so G2919 [G5758] decreed G1722 in G846 his G2588 heart G5083 [G5721] that he will keep G1438 his G3933 virgin G4160 [G5719] , doeth G2573 well.

  38 G5620 So G2532 then G1547 [G5723] he that giveth her in marriage G4160 [G5719] doeth G2573 well G1161 ; but G1547 0 he that giveth her G3361 not G1547 [G5723] in marriage G4160 [G5719] doeth G2908 better.

  39 G1135 The wife G1210 [G5769] is bound G3551 G1909 by the law G5550 as long G3745 as G846 her G435 husband G2198 [G5719] liveth G1161 ; but G1437 if G846 her G435 husband G2837 [G5686] is dead G2076 [G5748] , she is G1658 at liberty G1060 [G5683] to be married G3739 to whom G2309 [G5719] she will G3440 ; only G1722 in G2962 the Lord.

  40 G1161 But G2076 [G5748] she is G3107 happier G1437 if G3306 0 she G3779 so G3306 [G5661] remain G2596 , after G1699 my G1106 judgment G1161 : and G1380 [G5719] I think G2504 also G2192 [G5721] that I have G4151 the Spirit G2316 of God.
