Bible verses about "whore" | MLV

¹³ If any man takes a wife and goes in to her and dislikes her, ¹⁴ and charges her with shameful things and brings up an evil name upon her and says, I took this woman and when I came near to her, I did not find in her the tokens of virginity, ¹⁵ then the father of the maiden and her mother, will take and bring forth the tokens of the maiden's virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.
¹⁶ And the maiden's father will say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man as a wife and he dislikes her. ¹⁷ And behold, he has charged her with shameful things, saying, I did not find in your daughter the tokens of virginity and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they will spread the garment before the elders of the city.
¹⁸ And the elders of that city will take the man and discipline him, ¹⁹ and they will fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the maiden, because he has brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel and she will be his wife. He may not put her away all his days.
²⁰ But if this thing be true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the maiden, ²¹ then they will bring the maiden out to the door of her father's house and the men of her city will stone her to death with stones, because she has done senselessness in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father's house. So will you put away the evil from the midst of you.

¹ The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

⁵ Why will you* still be stricken, that you* revolt more and more? The whole head is sick and the whole heart faint. ⁶ From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it, but wounds and bruises and fresh stripes. They have not been closed nor bound up nor soothed with oil.
⁷ Your* country is desolate. Your* cities are burned with fire. Your* land–strangers devour it in your* presence and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. ⁸ And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a shed in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
⁹ Unless Jehovah of hosts had left to us a seed, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like Gomorrah. ¹⁰ Hear the word of Jehovah, you* rulers of Sodom, listen to the law of our God, you* people of Gomorrah.
¹¹ What to me is the multitude of your* sacrifices? says Jehovah. I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts.

¹³ Bring no more vain oblations. Incense is an abomination to me. New moon and Sabbath, the calling of assemblies–I cannot bear wickedness and the solemn assembly. ¹⁴ Your* new moons and your* appointed feasts my soul hates. They are a trouble to me. I am weary of bearing them.
¹⁵ And when you* spread forth your* hands, I will hide my eyes from you*. Yes, when you* make many prayers, I will not hear; your* hands are full of blood. ¹⁶ Wash you*, make you* clean, put away the evil of your* practices from before my eyes.

²⁷ and the males also likewise, having left the natural use of the female, burned in their lust toward one another, males with males working forth indecency and receiving in themselves the recompense which was essential from their error.

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

⁷ As Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them in a similar manner with these, having indulged in fornication and having gone after different flesh, are laying before us as an example, being held under the sentence of everlasting fire.

⁴ And the woman having been dressed in purple and scarlet arrayed with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup being full of abominations and the unclean things of her fornication of the earth,

¹ And one out of the seven messengers who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, Come-here. I will be showing you the judgment of the great prostitute who is sitting upon many waters; ² with whom the kings of the earth fornicated and those who are dwelling in the earth were made drunken from the wine of her fornication. ³ And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast, being full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ And the woman having been dressed in purple and scarlet arrayed with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup being full of abominations and the unclean things of her fornication of the earth, ⁵ and a name has been written upon her forehead, Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the Earth. ⁶ And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the holy-ones and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I marveled when I saw her– with great marvel! ⁷ And the messenger said to me, Why did you marvel? I will be telling you the mystery of the woman and of the beast bearing her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. The beast which you saw was and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. ⁸ And those who are dwelling upon the earth will be marveling, those whose names have not been written in the Book of Life from the conception of the world, when they see the beast, how that he was and is not and will be present.
⁹ Here is the mind that has wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman is sitting; ¹⁰ and they are seven kings; the five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come, and whenever he comes, it is essential for him to remain a few. ¹¹ And the beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth and is out of the seven, and he is going into destruction. ¹² And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings, who did not yet receive a kingdom, but they receive authority like kings, with the beast, for one hour. ¹³ These have one intention and they are giving their power and authority to the beast. ¹⁴ These will make war with the Lamb and the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those called and chosen and faithful with him. ¹⁵ And he says to me, The waters which you saw, where the prostitute is sitting, are peoples and crowds and nations and languages. ¹⁶ And the ten horns which you saw and the beast, these will hate the prostitute and will make her desolate and will make her naked and will eat her flesh and will be burning her up in fire. ¹⁷ For God gave to their hearts to do his intention and to do it with one intention and to give their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God should be completed. ¹⁸ And the woman whom you saw is the great city, which has a kingdom over the kings of the earth.

¹⁷ There will be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither will there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

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.
