¹² He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. ¹³ And having called ten of his slaves, he delivered them ten minas and said unto them, Trade until I come. ¹⁴ But his citizens hated him and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. ¹⁵ And it came to pass that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these slaves to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much each one had gained by trading. ¹⁶ Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy mina has gained ten minas. ¹⁷ And he said unto him, Well done, thou good slave; because thou hast been faithful in a very little, thou shalt have authority over ten cities. ¹⁸ And the second came, saying, Lord, thy mina has made five minas. ¹⁹ And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. ²⁰ And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a napkin, ²¹ for I feared thee because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou didst not lay down and dost reap that which thou didst not sow. ²² Then he said unto him, Out of thine own mouth I will judge thee, thou wicked slave. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that which I did not lay down, and reaping that which I did not sow; ²³ why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with interest? ²⁴ And he said unto those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give it to him that has the ten minas. ²⁵ (And they said unto him, Lord, he has ten minas.) ²⁶ For I say unto you, That unto every one who has shall be given; and from him that has not, even that which he has shall be taken away from him. ²⁷ Moreover, those enemies of mine, who were unwilling that I should reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.

¹ ¶ Now concerning the things of which ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. ² Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. ³ Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence, and likewise also the wife unto the husband. ⁴ The wife does not have authority of her own body, but the husband; and likewise also the husband does not have authority of his own body, but the wife. ⁵ Do not defraud one another, except it be with mutual consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer and come together again, that Satan not tempt you for your incontinency. ⁶ But I speak this by permission, and not by commandment. ⁷ For I would that all men were even as I myself.

The brother or the sister is not under slavery in such cases, but God has called us to peace. ¹⁶ For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or what knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? ¹⁷ ¶ But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let them walk. And so I ordain in all the congregations {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}. ¹⁸ Is anyone called being circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Is anyone called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised. ¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing but the keeping of the commandments of God. ²⁰ Let each abide in the same calling in which he was called. ²¹ Art thou called being a slave? care not for it; but if thou may be made free, use it rather. ²² 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 Christ’s slave. ²³ Ye are bought with a price; do not make yourselves the slaves of men. ²⁴ Each one, brothers, in that state in which he was called, let him abide with God. ²⁵ ¶ Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord, yet I give my advice, as one that has obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. ²⁶ I hold, therefore, this to be good because of the present distress, that it is good for a man to be thus: ²⁷ Art thou bound unto a wife? Seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? Seek not a wife. ²⁸ But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have affliction in the flesh, but I forbear you. ²⁹ But this I say, brothers, the time is short; for the rest, let those that have wives be as though they had none; ³⁰ and those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not; ³¹ and those that use this world, as not using it as their own, for the fashion of this world passes away. ³² But I would have you without worry. He that is unmarried cares for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord; ³³ but he that is married cares for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. ³⁴ There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit; but she that is married cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. ³⁵ And this I speak for your own profit, not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is honourable and that ye may attend upon the Lord without impediment. ³⁶ ¶ But if anyone thinks it uncomely regarding his daughter, if she passes the bloom of life, and need so requires, let him do what he will, he does not sin: let them marry. ³⁷ Nevertheless, he that stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has liberty regarding his own, and has so determined in his heart that he will keep his daughter, does well. ³⁸ So then he that gives her in marriage does well, but he that does not give her in marriage does better. ³⁹ ¶ The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is free and may be married to whom she will, if it is in the Lord. ⁴⁰ But she shall be more blessed if she so abides, after my counsel, and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

⁴ Let marriage be honourable in all and the bed undefiled; but the fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
