²⁵ The husbands, love^*\'b0 your own wives, just-as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up on her behalf; ²⁶ in order that he might make her holy, having cleansed her in the full-washing of the water in the word, ²⁷ in order that he might present her to himself, the glorious congregation, not having stain or wrinkle or any such things, but in order that she should be holy and unblemished. ²⁸ So the husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. ²⁹ For no one ever hated his own flesh, but is nourishing and cherishing it, just-as the Lord also does the congregation of believers; ³⁰ because we are members of his body, out of his flesh and out of his bones. ³¹ Because of this, a man will be leaving his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. ³² This mystery is great, but I am speaking in regard to Christ and in regard to the congregation of believers. ³³ However to you also, let each, one to one, love his own wife like himself, and let the wife see that she should fear her husband.

²² The wives be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. ²³ Because the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is also the head of the congregation of believers, he is the savior of the body. ²⁴ But just-like the congregation is subject to the Christ, so let the wives also be subject to their own husbands in all things.
²⁵ The husbands, love^*\'b0 your own wives, just-as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up on her behalf; ²⁶ in order that he might make her holy, having cleansed her in the full-washing of the water in the word, ²⁷ in order that he might present her to himself, the glorious congregation, not having stain or wrinkle or any such things, but in order that she should be holy and unblemished. ²⁸ So the husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. ²⁹ For no one ever hated his own flesh, but is nourishing and cherishing it, just-as the Lord also does the congregation of believers; ³⁰ because we are members of his body, out of his flesh and out of his bones. ³¹ Because of this, a man will be leaving his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. ³² This mystery is great, but I am speaking in regard to Christ and in regard to the congregation of believers. ³³ However to you also, let each, one to one, love his own wife like himself, and let the wife see that she should fear her husband.

⁴ Let marriage be honored among all and let the marriage-bed be undefiled, but fornicators and adulterers God will be judging.

¹ Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman sexually. \ulnone\nosupersub ² But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife and let each woman have her own husband. ³ Let the husband give to the wife her owed benevolence and likewise also the wife give to the husband. ⁴ The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband, and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife. ⁵ Do not deprive one another, except from agreement for some time, in order that you may occupy yourselves to fasting and to prayer, and you may come to the same again, in order that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your shortage of self-control. ⁶ But I am saying this according to concession, not according to commandment. ⁷ For I wish that all men were even as I myself am. But each one has his own gift from God, indeed the one is so and the one is thus.
⁸ But I am saying to the unmarried and to the widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am. ⁹ But if they do not exercise self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to be on fire. ¹⁰ But I command to those who have married, (not I, but the Lord): the wife is not to be separated from her husband, ¹¹ (but even if she is separated, let her remain unmarried, or let her be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband is not to leave his wife.
¹² But to the rest I say, (not the Lord); if some brother has an unbelieving wife and she consents to dwell with him, let him not leave her. ¹³ And if a wife who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to dwell with her, let her not leave him. ¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband has been made holy by the wife and the unbelieving wife has been made holy by the husband. Consequently, your children were unclean, but now they are holy. ¹⁵ But if the unbelieving spouse separates, let the one separate; the brother or the sister has not been enslaved in such things. Now God has called us in peace. ¹⁶ For what do you know O wife, if you will be saving your husband? Or what do you know O husband, if you will be saving your wife?
¹⁷ Except as God has divided to each one, as the Lord has called each, so let him walk. And so I myself am commanding in all the congregations. ¹⁸ Was anyone called being circumcised? Let him not be uncircumcised. Has anyone 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 each one remain in that calling in which he was called. ²¹ Were you called being a bondservant? Let it not be a care to you, but if you are also able to become free; use it rather. ²² For he who was called in the Lord, having been a bondservant, is the Lord’s freedman; likewise, the free one who was called, is Christ’s bondservant. ²³ You were bought with a price; do not become bondservants of men. ²⁴ Brethren, let each one remain with God in this thing in which he was called.
²⁵ Now concerning virgins I have no commandment from the Lord, but I am giving my viewpoint, as one who has been shown-mercy by the Lord to be faithful. ²⁶ Therefore I suppose this to be good, because of the present calamity; that it is good for a man to be thus. ²⁷ Have you been bound to a wife? Do not seek divorce. Have you been loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife. ²⁸ But even if you marry, you have not sinned, and if the virgin marries, she has not sinned. But such will have affliction in the flesh, and I would spare you.
²⁹ But I am saying this, brethren, the time is limited, furthermore it is that both those who have wives may be as though they had none; ³⁰ and those who weep, as though not weeping, and those who rejoice, as though not rejoicing, and those who buy, as though not having; ³¹ and those who use this world, as though not making full use of it; for the fashion of this world is passing away.
³² But I wish for you to be carefree. He who is unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he will be pleasing the Lord; ³³ but he who is married is anxious for the things of the world, how he may please the wife. ³⁴ He has been divided. The unmarried woman, (also the virgin), is anxious for the things is of the Lord, in order that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, but she who is married is anxious for the things of the world, how she will be pleasing the husband. ³⁵ Now, I say this thing is advantageous for yourselves, not in order that I may cast a noose upon you, but a non-distraction toward the decent, and devoted in the Lord.
³⁶ But if anyone supposes he is behaving improperly over his virgin, if she is beyond her prime and thus it ought to happen, let her do what she wills; she is not sinning; let them marry.
³⁷ But he who stands, grounded in his heart, not having necessity, but has the authority concerning his own will, and he has decided this in his own heart to keep his own virgin, he does well. ³⁸ So-then both he who betroths does well, and he who does not betroth is doing better.
³⁹ A wife has been bound by law inasmuch time as the husband is living, but if the husband has fallen-asleep, she is free to be married to whom she wills, but only in the Lord. ⁴⁰ But she is fortunate if she remains so, according to my viewpoint, and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.
