¹² And, because of the multiplication of lawlessness, the love of many shall be cooling."

¹ And coming is it at that season that down is Judah going from his brothers and is turning aside unto a man, an Adullamite, and his name is Hirah. ² And seeing is Judah there the daughter of a man of the Canaanites, and his name is Shua. And taking her is he and is coming to her. ³ And pregnant is she and is bearing a son, and calling is she his name Er. ⁴ And pregnant is she further and is bearing a son, and is calling his name Onan. ⁵ And continuing further is she and bearing a son, and calling his name Shelah. And she comes to be in Chezib when bearing them. ⁶ And taking is Judah a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name is Thamar. ⁷ And coming is it that Er, Judah's firstborn, is evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and Yahweh is putting him to death. ⁸ And saying is Judah to Onan, "Come to your brother's wife and wed her, your brother's widow, and raise seed for your brother. ⁹ And know does Onan that the seed will not become his. And it comes, when he is coming to his brother's wife, then he ruins it on the earth, to avoid giving seed to his brother. ¹⁰ And evil in the eyes of Yahweh is what he does, and, moreover, He is putting him to death also. ¹¹ And saying is Judah to Thamar, his daughter-in-law, "Dwell a widow at your father's house till my son Shelah shall be grown. For,says he, "lest he, moreover, will die as his brothers.And going is Thamar and dwelling in her father's house. ¹² And increasing are the days, and the daughter of Shua, Judah's wife, died. And consoled is Judah, and going up is he to the shearers of his flock, he and his shepherd, Hirah, the Adullamite, to Timnah. ¹³ And told is it to Thamar, saying, "Behold! Your husband's father is going up to Timnah to the shearing of his flock. ¹⁴ And away is she taking the garments of her widowhood off her, and is covering herself with a veil and she is bedecking herself. And sitting is she at the opening to the springs, which are on the way to Timnah, for she sees that Shelah is grown, and she is not given to him for a wife. ¹⁵ And seeing her is Judah, and is accounting her to be a prostitute, for she covers her face, and he did not recognize her. ¹⁶ And aside is he turning to her by the way, and is saying to her, "Prithee, pray, coming am I to you,for not know does he that she is his daughter-in-law. And saying is she, "What will you give to me that you shall come to me? ¹⁷ And saying is he, "I will send to you a kid of the goats from the flock.And saying is she, "If you will give a surety till you send. ¹⁸ And saying is he, "What is the surety which I shall give to you?And saying is she, "Your seal and your twist and your staff which is in your hand.And giving them is he to her, and is coming to her, and pregnant is she by him. ¹⁹ And rising is she and going, and is taking away her veil off her and is putting on the garments of her widowhood. ²⁰ And sending is Judah the kid of the goats by the hand of his shepherd, the Adullamite, to take the surety from the hand of the woman. Yet he did not find her. ²¹ And asking is he the mortals of her place, saying, "Where is the hallowed harlot, she at the springs, on the way?And saying are they, "No hallowed harlot came to be in this place. ²² And returning is he to Judah and saying, "I did not find her. And, moreover, the mortals of the place say, `No hallowed harlot came to be in this place.. ²³ And saying is Judah, "Take it to her shall she, lest we come into contempt! Behold! I send this kid and you did not find her!" ²⁴ And coming is it, about three months from this, that it is being told Judah, saying, "Your daughter-in-law Thamar commits prostitution, and moreover, behold! Pregnant is she by prostitutions.And saying is Judah, "Bring her forth, and burned shall she be. ²⁵ Forth is she brought. Yet she sends to her husband's father, saying, "By the man whose these are am I pregnant.And saying is she, "Identify, pray, whose these are: the seal and the twist and the staff. ²⁶ And identifying them is Judah, and is saying, "More just is Thamar than I, therefore, for I did not give her to Shelah, my son.Yet not continue does he to know her further. ²⁷ And coming is it, at the time of her bearing, that, behold! Twins are in her belly. ²⁸ And coming is it, in her bearing that one is putting out a hand. And taking it is the midwife and tying on his hand a double-dipped token, saying, "This fares forth first. ²⁹ And coming is it, as his hand is returning, then, behold! Forth fares his brother. And saying is she, "What! Breached have you. On you be the breach!"And calling is she his name Pharez. ³⁰ And afterward forth comes his brother, who had on his hand the double-dipped token. And calling is she his name Zarah.

¹ Now, concerning what you write to me: It is ideal for a man not to be touching a woman." ² Yet, because of prostitutions, let each man have a wife for himself and each woman have her own husband." ³ Let the husband render to the wife her due, yet likewise the wife also to the husband." ⁴ The wife has not the jurisdiction of her own body, but the husband, yet likewise the husband also has not the jurisdiction of his own body, but the wife." ⁵ Do not deprive one another, except sometime it should be by agreement for a period, that you should gave leisure for prayer, and you may be the same again, lest Satan may be trying you because of your incontinence." ⁶ Now this I am saying as a concession, not as an injunction." ⁷ For I want all men to be as I myself also, but each has his own gracious gift from God, one indeed, thus, yet one thus." ⁸ Now I am saying to the unmarried and the widows, that it is ideal for them if ever they should be remaining even as I." ⁹ Yet if they are not controlling themselves, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to be on fire." ¹⁰ Now to the married I am charging, not I, but the Lord: A wife is not to be separated from her husband." ¹¹ Yet if she should be separated also, let her remain unmarried or be conciliated to her husband. And a husband is not to leave his wife." ¹² Now to the rest am I speaking, not the Lord. If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she approves of making a home with him, let him not leave her." ¹³ And a wife who has an unbelieving husband, and he approves of making a home with her, let her not leave her husband." ¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband is hallowed by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is hallowed by the brother, else, consequently, your children are unclean. Yet now they are holy." ¹⁵ Yet if the unbeliever is separating, let him separate. A brother or a sister is not enslaved in such a case. Now God has called us in peace." ¹⁶ For of what are you aware, O wife - will you be saving your husband - or of what are you aware, O husband - will you be saving your wife -" ¹⁷ except as the Lord parts it to each? Each as God has called him, thus let him be walking. And thus am I prescribing in all the ecclesias." ¹⁸ Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not be de-circumcised. Is anyone called in uncircumcision? Let him not circumcise. ¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the precepts of God." ²⁰ Each one in the calling in which he was called, in this let him be remaining." ²¹ Were you called a slave? Let it not be causing you care. But if you are able to become free also, use it rather." ²² For, in the Lord, he who is being called a slave, is the Lord's freedman. Likewise, he who is being called, being free, is a slave of Christ." ²³ With a price are you bought. Do not become the slaves of men. ²⁴ Each one, in what he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God." ²⁵ Now concerning the celibates or virgins, I have no injunction of the Lord. Yet an opinion am I giving, as one who has enjoyed mercy by the Lord to be faithful." ²⁶ I am inferring, then, this ideal to be inherent, because of the present necessity, for it is ideal for humanity to be thus." ²⁷ You are bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. You have been loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife. ²⁸ Yet if you ever should be marrying, also, you did not sin. And if the virgin should be marrying, she did not sin. Yet affliction in the flesh will such be having. Yet I am sparing you." ²⁹ Now this I am averring, brethren, the era is limited; that, furthermore, those also having wives may be as not having them, ³⁰ and those lamenting as not lamenting, and those rejoicing as not rejoicing, and those buying as not retaining, ³¹ and those using this world as not using it up. For the fashion of this world is passing by. ³² Now I want you to be without worry. The unmarried one is solicitous about the things of the Lord, how he should be pleasing the Lord." ³³ Yet he who marries is solicitous about the things of the world, how he should be pleasing his wife, ³⁴ and is parted. The unmarried woman as well as the virgin: the unmarried one is solicitous about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body as well as in spirit, yet she who marries is solicitous about the things of the world, how she should be pleasing her husband." ³⁵ Now this I am saying for your own expedience, not that I should be casting a noose over you, but for that which is respectable and assiduous - to be undistractedly for the Lord." ³⁶ Now if anyone is inferring it to be indecent for his virgin, if she should be over her meridian, and thus it ought to occur, what he will, let him do. He is not sinning. Let them marry." ³⁷ Yet he who stands settled in his heart, having no necessity, yet has authority as to his own will, and has decided this in his own heart (to be keeping his virgin) ideally will be doing." ³⁸ So that he also who is taking his virgin in marriage, ideally will be doing, yet he who is not taking out in marriage will be doing better." ³⁹ A wife is bound by law for whatever time her husband is living. Yet if the husband should be reposing, she is free to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord." ⁴⁰ Yet happier is she if ever she should be remaining thus, according to my opinion. Now I presume that I also have God's spirit."

³ Behold, sons are an allotment from Yahweh; The fruit of the belly is a reward." ⁴ Like arrows in the hand of a master, So are the sons of youthful parents." ⁵ Happy is the master who fills his quiver with them; They shall not be ashamed When they are speaking with enemies in the gateway.

²⁸ And blessing them is the Elohim. And saying to them is the Elohim, "Be fruitful and increase and fill the earth, and subdue it. And sway over the fish of the sea, and over the flyer of the heavens, and over the beast, and over all the earth, and over all life moving on the land.

³ Behold, sons are an allotment from Yahweh; The fruit of the belly is a reward."
