Bible verses about "whore" | Living_Oracles

⁹ Therefore, I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for whoredom, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries the woman divorced, commits adultery.

²⁷ In like manner, also, the males, leaving the natural use of the female, burned in their lust toward one another, males with males, working out that which is shameful, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.

⁴ Let marriage be honorable among all, and the bed unpolluted; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

⁷ Likewise Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, which, after their example, had habitually committed uncleanness, and gone after other flesh, are set forth an example, suffering the punishment of an eternal fire.

⁴ And the woman was clothed with purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold, and precious stones, and pearls; having a golden cup in her hand, full of the abominations and pollution of her whoredom.

¹ And one of the seven angels who had the seven vials, came and spoke with me, saying, Come, and I will show you the judgment of the great harlot, that sits upon many waters: ² with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and all the inhabitants of the earth have been drunk with the wine of her whoredom. ³ And he brought me, in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast, full of slanderous names, having seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ And the woman was clothed with purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold, and precious stones, and pearls; having a golden cup in her hand, full of the abominations and pollution of her whoredom. ⁵ And she had upon her forehead her name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. ⁶ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great amazement. ⁷ And the angel said to me, Why do you wonder? I will tell you the secret of the woman, and of the beast which carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. ⁸ The beast which you saw, was, and is not; and he will ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go to destruction; and the inhabitants of the earth (whose names are not written in the book of life, from the foundation of the world) shall wonder, seeing the beast who was, and is not, yet shall be. ⁹ Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits. ¹⁰ And they are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must endure for a little time. ¹¹ And the beast that was, and is not, he is the eighth, and is of the seven, but goes to destruction. ¹² And the ten horns which you saw, are ten kings, which have not yet received their kingdom, but they shall receive authority with the beast, as kings at the same time. ¹³ These have one mind, and shall deliver their own power and authority to the beast. ¹⁴ These shall make war with the Lamb; and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is the Lord of lords, and King of kings; and those that are with him, are called, and chosen, and faithful. ¹⁵ And he said to me, The waters which you saw, on which the harlot sat, are people, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. ¹⁶ And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and make her desolate and naked; and they shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her with fire. ¹⁷ For God has given it into the hearts to execute his sentence, even to perform one purpose; and to give their kingdoms to the beast, till the words of God be fulfilled. ¹⁸ And the woman which you saw, is the great city, that rules over the kings of the earth.

¹ Now, concerning the things of which you wrote me: It is good for a man not to marry a woman. ² Nevertheless, on account of uncleanness, let every man have a wife of his own, and let every woman have her own husband. ³ Let the husband fulfill his obligations to his wife: and in like manner, also, the wife to the husband. ⁴ The wife has not the command of her own person, but the husband: and in like manner, also, the husband has not the command of his own person, but the wife. ⁵ Deprive not one another, unless, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; and do you come again together, that Satan may not tempt you through your incontinency. ⁶ But this which follows I speak as an advice, and not as an injunction, ⁷ that I wish all men to be as I myself am. However, each has a proper gift from God; one, indeed, after this manner, and another after that. ⁸ I say, to the unmarried men, and to the widows, it is good for them if they can remain even as I do. ⁹ Yet, if they can not live continently, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to be in pain. ¹⁰ Now, those who have married I charge, (yet not I, but the Lord;) let not a wife depart from her husband: ¹¹ but if she even depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband; and a husband must not put away his wife. ¹² But the rest I command, not the Lord; if any brother have an infidel wife, who herself is well pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. ¹³ And a woman who has an infidel husband, who himself is well pleased to dwell with her, let her not put him away. ¹⁴ For the infidel husband is sanctified by the wife, and the infidel wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise, certainly, your children were unclean; whereas, indeed, they are holy. ¹⁵ But if the infidel depart, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not in bondage with such; but God has called us to peace. ¹⁶ For how do you know, O wife! whether you shall save your husband? And how do you know, O husband! whether you shall save your wife? ¹⁷ But as God has distributed to every one, and as the Lord has called every one, so let him walk; and so, in all the congregations, I ordain. ¹⁸ Has any circumcised one been called? Let him not be uncircumcised. Has any one been 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 every one remain in the same calling in which he was called. ²¹ Were you called, being a bondman? Be not careful to be made free. Yet, if you can be made free, prefer it. ²² For a bondman, who is called by the Lord, is the Lord's freedman. In like manner, also, a freedman who is called, is Christ's bondman. ²³ You were bought with a price: become not the slaves of men. ²⁴ Brethren, in what state each one was called, in that let him remain with God. ²⁵ Now, concerning virgins, I have not a commandment of the Lord: but, I give my judgment, as having obtained mercy of the Lord, to be faithful. ²⁶ I declare this, then, to be good, on account of the present distress; namely, that it is good for a man who is unmarried, to continue so. ²⁷ Are you bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. ²⁸ And yet, if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she has not sinned: nevertheless, affliction in the flesh such shall have; but I spare you. ²⁹ Now, this I say, brethren, the time being short, it remains that both they who have wives, should be as not having wives; ³⁰ and they who weep, as not weeping; and they who rejoice, as not rejoicing; and they who buy, as not possessing; ³¹ and they who use this world, as not abusing it: for the form of this world passes by. ³² Besides, I would have you without anxious care. The unmarried man anxiously cares for the things of the Lord; how he shall please the Lord. ³³ But he who is married, anxiously cares for the things of the world; how he shall please his wife. ³⁴ There is the like difference between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried woman anxiously cares for the things of the Lord; that she may be holy, both in body and spirit: but she who is married, anxiously cares for the things of the world; how she shall please her husband. ³⁵ Now, this I say, for your own benefit; not with a view to lay a snare for you, but for that which is becoming, and best adapted to a steady, uninterrupted adherence to the Lord. ³⁶ But if any one thinks he acts improperly toward his virgin, if she be above age, unmarried, and so needs to be married; let him do what she inclines, he does not sin: let such marry. ³⁷ But he who stands firm in his heart; not having necessity, and has power concerning his own will; and has determined this in his own heart, to keep his virgin, does well. ³⁸ So, then, even he who gives her in marriage, does well; but he who gives her not in marriage, does better. ³⁹ A wife is bound, as long as her husband lives; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she pleases; only in the Lord. ⁴⁰ But she is happier if she continue as she is. This is my opinion; and I think I have the Spirit of God.
