1 Corinthians 7:22-40 For he that is called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Anointed's slave.

22 G1063 For G2564 [G5685] he that is called G1722 in G2962 the Lord, G1401 being a slave, G2076 [G5748] is G2962 the Lord's G558 freeman: G3668 likewise G2532 also G2564 [G5685] he that is called, G1658 being free, G2076 [G5748] is G5547 Anointed's G1401 slave.

23 G59 [G5681] Ye are bought G5092 with a price; G1096 0 be G3361 not G1096 [G5737] ye G1401 the slaves G444 of men.

24 G80 Brethren, G3306 0 let G1538 every man, G1722 in the state in G3739 which G2564 [G5681] he is called, G3306 [G5720] continue G1722 in G5129 it G3844 with G2316 God.

25 G1161 Now G4012 concerning G3933 virgins G2192 [G5719] I have G3756 no G2003 commandment G2962 of the Lord: G1161 yet G1325 [G5719] I give G1106 my opinion, G5613 as G1653 [G5772] one that hath obtained mercy G5259 by G2962 the Lord G1511 [G5750] to be G4103 faithful.

26 G3543 [G5719] I suppose G3767 therefore G5124 that this G5225 [G5721] is G2570 good G1223 for G1764 [G5761] the present G318 necessity, G3754 I say, that G2570 it is good G444 for a man G3779 so G1511 [G5750] to be.

27 G1210 [G5769] Art thou bound G1135 to a wife? G2212 [G5720] seek G3361 not G3080 to be loosed. G3089 [G5769] Art thou loosed G575 from G1135 a wife? G2212 [G5720] seek G3361 not G1135 a wife.

28 G1161 G2532 But G1437 if G1060 [G5661] thou marry, G264 0 thou hast G3756 not G264 [G5627] sinned; G2532 and G1437 if G3933 a virgin G1060 [G5661] marry, G264 0 she hath G3756 not G264 [G5627] sinned. G1161 Nevertheless G5108 such G2192 [G5692] shall have G2347 affliction G4561 in the flesh: G1161 but G1473 I G5339 [G5736] spare G5216 you.

29 G1161 But G5124 this G5346 [G5748] I say, G80 brethren, G2540 the season 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 noose G5213 upon you, G235 but G4314 for that which G2158 is decorous, 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 authority 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 by the law G1909 for as long G5550 a time G3745 as G846 her G435 husband G2198 [G5719] liveth; G1161 but G1437 if G846 her G435 husband G2837 [G5686] has fallen asleep, 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 according to G1699 my G1106 opinion: G1161 and G1380 [G5719] I think G2504 also G2192 [G5721] that I have G4151 the Spirit G2316 of God.
