Revelation 14:1-5

  1 G2532 And G1492 [G5627] I looked G2532 , and G2400 [G5628] , lo G721 , a Lamb G2476 [G5761] stood G1909 on G3735 the mount G4622 Zion G2532 , and G3326 with G846 him G1540 an hundred G5062 and forty G5064 and four G5505 thousand G2192 [G5723] , having G846 his G3962 Father's G3686 name G1125 [G5772] written G1909 in G846 their G3359 foreheads.
  2 G2532 And G191 [G5656] I heard G5456 a voice G1537 from G3772 heaven G5613 , as G5456 the voice G4183 of many G5204 waters G2532 , and G5613 as G5456 the voice G3173 of a great G1027 thunder G2532 : and G191 [G5656] I heard G5456 the voice G2790 of harpers G2789 [G5723] harping G1722 with G846 their G2788 harps:
  3 G2532 And G103 [G5719] they sung G5613 as it were G2537 a new G5603 song G1799 before G2362 the throne G2532 , and G1799 before G5064 the four G2226 beasts G2532 , and G4245 the elders G2532 : and G3762 no man G1410 [G5711] could G3129 [G5629] learn G5603 that song G1508 but G1540 the hundred G5062 and forty G5064 and four G5505 thousand G3588 , who G59 [G5772] were redeemed G575 from G1093 the earth.
  4 G3778 These G1526 [G5748] are they G3739 who G3435 0 were G3756 not G3435 [G5681] defiled G3326 with G1135 women G1063 ; for G1526 [G5748] they are G3933 virgins G3778 . These G1526 [G5748] are they G3588 who G190 [G5723] follow G721 the Lamb G3699 G302 wherever G5217 [G5725] he goeth G3778 . These G59 [G5681] were redeemed G575 from G444 among men G536 , being the firstfruits G2316 to God G2532 and G721 to the Lamb.
  5 G2532 And G1722 in G846 their G4750 mouth G2147 [G5681] was found G3756 no G1388 guile G1063 : for G1526 [G5748] they are G299 without fault G1799 before G2362 the throne G2316 of God.

1 Corinthians 7:26

  26 G3543 [G5719] I suppose G3767 therefore G5124 that this G5225 [G5721] is G2570 good G1223 for G1764 [G5761] the present G318 distress G3754 , I say, that G2570 it is good G444 for a man G3779 so G1511 [G5750] to be.

1 Corinthians 7:2

  2 G1223 G1161 Nevertheless G4202 , to avoid immorality G2192 0 , let G1538 every man G2192 [G5720] have G1438 his own G1135 wife G2532 , and G2192 0 let G1538 every woman G2192 [G5720] have G2398 her own G435 husband.

1 Corinthians 6:9

  9 G2228   G1492 [G5758] Know ye G3756 not G3754 that G94 the unrighteous G2816 0 shall G3756 not G2816 [G5692] inherit G932 the kingdom G2316 of God G4105 0 ? Be G3361 not G4105 [G5744] deceived G3777 : neither G4205 fornicators G3777 , nor G1496 idolaters G3777 , nor G3432 adulterers G3777 , nor G3120 effeminate G3777 , nor G733 abusers of themselves with mankind,

Matthew 19:10-12

  10 G846 His G3101 disciples G3004 [G5719] say G846 to him G1487 , If G156 the case G444 of the man G2076 [G5748] is G3779 so G3326 with G1135 his wife G4851 0 , it is G3756 not G4851 [G5719] good G1060 [G5658] to marry.
  11 G1161 But G2036 [G5627] he said G846 to them G3956 , { All G3756 men cannot G5562 [G5719] receive G5126 this G3056 saying G235 , except G3739 they to whom G1325 [G5769] it is given.}
  12 G1063 { For G1526 [G5748] there are G2135 some eunuchs G3748 , who G3779 were so G1080 [G5681] born G1537 from G3384 their mother's G2836 womb G2532 : and G1526 [G5748] there are G2135 some eunuchs G3748 , who G2134 [G5656] were made eunuchs G5259 by G444 men G2532 : and G1526 [G5748] there are G2135 eunuchs G3748 , who G2134 0 have made G1438 themselves G2134 [G5656] eunuchs G1223 for G932 the kingdom G3772 of heaven's sake G1410 [G5740] . He that is able G5562 [G5721] to receive G5562 [G5720] it, let him receive it.}

1 Corinthians 7:7-9

  7 G1063 For G2309 [G5719] I would G3956 that all G444 men G1511 G2532 [G5750] were G5613 as G1683 I myself G235 . But G1538 every man G2192 [G5719] hath G2398 his proper G5486 gift G1537 from G2316 God G3739 G3303 , one G3779 after this manner G1161 , and G3739 another G3779 after that.
  8 G3004 [G5719] I say G1161 therefore G22 to the unmarried G2532 and G5503 widows G2076 [G5748] , It is G2570 good G846 for them G1437 if G3306 [G5661] they remain G2504 0 even G5613 as G2504 I.
  9 G1161 But G1487 if G1467 0 they G3756 cannot G1467 [G5736] control themselves G1060 [G5657] , let them marry G1063 : for G2076 [G5748] it is G2909 better G1060 [G5658] to marry G2228 than G4448 [G5745] to burn.

1 Corinthians 7:1-40

  1 G1161 Now G4012 concerning G3739 the things of which G1125 [G5656] ye wrote G3427 to me G2570 : It is good G444 for a man G3361 not G680 [G5733] to touch G1135 a woman.
  2 G1223 G1161 Nevertheless G4202 , to avoid immorality G2192 0 , let G1538 every man G2192 [G5720] have G1438 his own G1135 wife G2532 , and G2192 0 let G1538 every woman G2192 [G5720] have G2398 her own G435 husband.
  3 G591 0 Let G435 the husband G591 [G5720] render G1135 to the wife G3784 [G5746] her due G2133 benevolence G1161 : and G3668 likewise G2532 also G1135 the wife G435 to the husband.
  4 G1135 The wife G1850 0 hath G3756 not G1850 [G5719] power G2398 of her own G4983 body G235 , but G435 the husband G1161 : and G3668 likewise G2532 also G435 the husband G1850 0 hath G3756 not G1850 [G5719] power G2398 of his own G4983 body G235 , but G1135 the wife.
  5 G650 [G5720] Defraud ye G3361 not G240 one the other G1509 G302 , except G5100 it be G1537 with G4859 consent G4314 for G2540 a time G2443 , that G4980 [G5725] ye may give yourselves G3521 to fasting G2532 and G4335 prayer G2532 ; and G4905 [G5741] come G1909 G846 together G3825 again G3363 0 , that G4567 Satan G3363 may not G3985 [G5725] tempt G5209 you G1223 for G5216 your G192 lack of self-control.
  6 G1161 But G3004 [G5719] I speak G5124 this G2596 by G4774 permission G3756 , and not G2596 as a G2003 commandment.
  7 G1063 For G2309 [G5719] I would G3956 that all G444 men G1511 G2532 [G5750] were G5613 as G1683 I myself G235 . But G1538 every man G2192 [G5719] hath G2398 his proper G5486 gift G1537 from G2316 God G3739 G3303 , one G3779 after this manner G1161 , and G3739 another G3779 after that.
  8 G3004 [G5719] I say G1161 therefore G22 to the unmarried G2532 and G5503 widows G2076 [G5748] , It is G2570 good G846 for them G1437 if G3306 [G5661] they remain G2504 0 even G5613 as G2504 I.
  9 G1161 But G1487 if G1467 0 they G3756 cannot G1467 [G5736] control themselves G1060 [G5657] , let them marry G1063 : for G2076 [G5748] it is G2909 better G1060 [G5658] to marry G2228 than G4448 [G5745] to burn.
  10 G1161 And G1060 [G5761] to the married G3853 [G5719] I command G3756 , yet not G1473 I G235 , but G2962 the Lord G5563 0 , Let G3361 not G1135 the wife G5563 [G5683] depart G575 from G435 her husband:
  11 G1161 G2532 But G1437 if G5563 [G5681] she shall depart G3306 [G5720] , let her remain G22 unmarried G2228 , or G2644 [G5649] be reconciled G435 to her husband G2532 : and G863 0 let G3361 not G435 the husband G863 [G5721] put away G1135 his wife.
  12 G1161 But G3062 to the rest G1473 I G3004 [G5719] speak G3756 , not G2962 the Lord G1536 : If any G80 brother G2192 [G5719] hath G1135 a wife G571 that believeth not G2532 , and G846 she G4909 [G5719] is pleased G3611 [G5721] to dwell G3326 with G846 him G863 0 , let him G3361 not G863 0 put G846 her G863 [G5720] away.
  13 G2532 And G1135 the woman G3748 who G2192 [G5719] hath G435 an husband G571 that believeth not G2532 , and G846 if he G4909 [G5719] is pleased G3611 [G5721] to dwell G3326 with G846 her G863 0 , let her G3361 not G863 [G5720] leave G846 him.
  14 G1063 For G571 the unbelieving G435 husband G37 [G5769] is sanctified G1722 by G1135 the wife G2532 , and G571 the unbelieving G1135 wife G37 [G5769] is sanctified G1722 by G435 the husband G686 G1893 : else G2076 [G5748] were G5216 your G5043 children G169 unclean G1161 ; but G3568 now G2076 [G5748] are they G40 holy.
  15 G1161 But G1487 if G571 the unbelieving G5563 [G5731] departeth G5563 [G5744] , let him depart G80 . A brother G2228 or G79 a sister G1402 0 is G3756 not G1402 [G5769] under bondage G1722 in G5108 such G1161 cases: but G2316 God G2564 [G5758] hath called G2248 us G1722 to G1515 peace.
  16 G1063 For G5101 how G1492 [G5758] knowest thou G1135 , O wife G1487 , whether G4982 [G5692] thou shalt save G435 thy husband G2228 ? or G5101 how G1492 [G5758] knowest thou G435 , O man G1487 , whether G4982 [G5692] thou shalt save G1135 thy wife?
  17 G1508 But G5613 as G2316 God G3307 [G5656] hath distributed G1538 to every man G5613 , as G2962 the Lord G2564 [G5758] hath called G1538 every one G3779 , so G4043 [G5720] let him walk G2532 . And G3779 so G1299 [G5731] I ordain G1722 in G3956 all G1577 churches.
  18 G2564 0 Is G5100 any man G2564 [G5681] called G4059 [G5772] being circumcised G1986 0 ? let him G3361 not G1986 [G5737] become uncircumcised G2564 0 . Is G5100 any G2564 [G5681] called G1722 in G203 uncircumcision G4059 0 ? let him G3361 not G4059 [G5744] become circumcised.
  19 G4061 Circumcision G2076 [G5748] is G3762 nothing G2532 , and G203 uncircumcision G2076 [G5748] is G3762 nothing G235 , but G5084 the keeping G1785 of the commandments G2316 of God.
  20 G3306 0 Let G1538 every man G3306 [G5720] remain G1722 in G5026 the same G2821 calling G1722 in G3739 which G2564 [G5681] he was called.
  21 G2564 [G5681] Art thou called G1401 being a servant G3199 0 G4671 ? care G3361 not G3199 [G5720] for it G235 : but G1499 if G1410 [G5736] thou mayest G1096 [G5635] be made G1658 free G5530 [G5663] , use G3123 it rather.
  22 G1063 For G2564 [G5685] he that is called G1722 in G2962 the Lord G1401 , being a servant G2076 [G5748] , is G2962 the Lord's G558 freeman G3668 : likewise G2532 also G2564 [G5685] he that is called G1658 , being free G2076 [G5748] , is G5547 Christ's G1401 servant.
  23 G59 [G5681] Ye are bought G5092 with a price G1096 0 ; be G3361 not G1096 [G5737] ye G1401 the servants G444 of men.
  24 G80 Brethren G3306 0 , let G1538 every man G1722 , in the state in G3739 which G2564 [G5681] he is called G3306 [G5720] , continue G1722 in G5129 it G3844 with G2316 God.
  25 G1161 Now G4012 concerning G3933 virgins G2192 [G5719] I have G3756 no G2003 commandment G2962 of the Lord G1161 : yet G1325 [G5719] I give G1106 my judgment G5613 , as G1653 [G5772] one that hath obtained mercy G5259 from G2962 the Lord G1511 [G5750] to be G4103 faithful.
  26 G3543 [G5719] I suppose G3767 therefore G5124 that this G5225 [G5721] is G2570 good G1223 for G1764 [G5761] the present G318 distress G3754 , I say, that G2570 it is good G444 for a man G3779 so G1511 [G5750] to be.
  27 G1210 [G5769] Art thou bound G1135 to a wife G2212 [G5720] ? seek G3361 not G3080 to be loosed G3089 [G5769] . Art thou loosed G575 from G1135 a wife G2212 [G5720] ? seek G3361 not G1135 a wife.
  28 G1161 G2532 But G1437 if G1060 [G5661] thou marry G264 0 , thou hast G3756 not G264 [G5627] sinned G2532 ; and G1437 if G3933 a virgin G1060 [G5661] marry G264 0 , she hath G3756 not G264 [G5627] sinned G1161 . Nevertheless G5108 such G2192 [G5692] shall have G2347 trouble G4561 in the flesh G1161 : but G1473 I G5339 [G5736] spare G5216 you.
  29 G1161 But G5124 this G5346 [G5748] I say G80 , brethren G2540 , the time G4958 [G5772] is short G2076 G3063 [G5748] : it remaineth G2443 , that G2532 both G2192 [G5723] they that have G1135 wives G5600 [G5753] be G5613 as though G2192 [G5723] they had G3361 none;
  30 G2532 And G2799 [G5723] they that weep G5613 , as G2799 [G5723] though they wept G3361 not G2532 ; and G5463 [G5723] they that rejoice G5613 , as G5463 [G5723] though they rejoiced G3361 not G2532 ; and G59 [G5723] they that buy G5613 , as G2722 [G5723] though they possessed G3361 not;
  31 G2532 And G5530 [G5740] they that use G5127 this G2889 world G5613 , as G3361 not G2710 [G5740] abusing G1063 it: for G4976 the fashion G5129 of this G2889 world G3855 [G5719] passeth away.
  32 G1161 But G1511 G2309 [G5750] I would have G5209 you G275 without care G22 . He that is unmarried G3309 [G5719] careth G3588 for the things that belong to G2962 the Lord G4459 , how G700 [G5692] he may please G2962 the Lord:
  33 G1161 But G1060 [G5660] he that is married G3309 [G5719] careth G3588 for the things that are G2889 of the world G4459 , how G700 [G5692] he may please G1135 his wife.
  34 G3307 [G5769] There is a difference also between G1135 a wife G2532 and G3933 a virgin G22 . The unmarried woman G3309 [G5719] careth for G3588 the things G2962 of the Lord G2443 , that G5600 [G5753] she may be G40 holy G2532 both G4983 in body G2532 and G4151 in spirit G1161 : but G1060 [G5660] she that is married G3309 [G5719] careth G3588 for the things G2889 of the world G4459 , how G700 [G5692] she may please G435 her husband.
  35 G1161 And G5124 this G3004 [G5719] I speak G4314 for G5216 your G846 own G4851 [G5723] profit G3756 ; not G2443 that G1911 [G5632] I may cast G1029 a snare G5213 upon you G235 , but G4314 for that which G2158 is seemly G2532 , and G2145 that ye may attend upon G2962 the Lord G563 without distraction.
  36 G1161 But G1536 if any man G3543 [G5719] thinketh G807 [G5721] that he behaveth himself unseemly G1909 toward G846 his G3933 virgin G1437 , if G5230 G5600 [G5753] she hath passed the flower of her age G2532 , and G3784 [G5719] need G3779 so G1096 [G5738] requireth G4160 [G5720] , let him do G3739 what G2309 [G5719] he will G264 [G5719] , he sinneth G3756 not G1060 [G5720] : let them marry.
  37 G1161 Nevertheless G3739 he G2476 [G5707] that standeth G1476 steadfast G1722 in G2588 his heart G2192 [G5723] , having G3361 no G318 necessity G1161 , but G2192 [G5719] hath G1849 power G4012 over G2398 his own G2307 will G2532 , and G2919 0 hath G5124 so G2919 [G5758] decreed G1722 in G846 his G2588 heart G5083 [G5721] that he will keep G1438 his G3933 virgin G4160 [G5719] , doeth G2573 well.
  38 G5620 So G2532 then G1547 [G5723] he that giveth her in marriage G4160 [G5719] doeth G2573 well G1161 ; but G1547 0 he that giveth her G3361 not G1547 [G5723] in marriage G4160 [G5719] doeth G2908 better.
  39 G1135 The wife G1210 [G5769] is bound G3551 G1909 by the law G5550 as long G3745 as G846 her G435 husband G2198 [G5719] liveth G1161 ; but G1437 if G846 her G435 husband G2837 [G5686] is dead G2076 [G5748] , she is G1658 at liberty G1060 [G5683] to be married G3739 to whom G2309 [G5719] she will G3440 ; only G1722 in G2962 the Lord.
  40 G1161 But G2076 [G5748] she is G3107 happier G1437 if G3306 0 she G3779 so G3306 [G5661] remain G2596 , after G1699 my G1106 judgment G1161 : and G1380 [G5719] I think G2504 also G2192 [G5721] that I have G4151 the Spirit G2316 of God.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20

  18 G5343 [G5720] Flee G4202 immorality G3956 . Every G265 sin G3739 G1437 that G444 a man G4160 [G5661] doeth G2076 [G5748] is G1622 outside G4983 the body G1161 ; but G4203 [G5723] he that committeth immorality G264 [G5719] sinneth G1519 against G2398 his own G4983 body.
  19 G2228 What G1492 [G5758] ? know ye G3756 not G3754 that G5216 your G4983 body G2076 [G5748] is G3485 the temple G40 of the Holy G4151 Spirit G1722 who is in G5213 you G3739 , which G2192 [G5719] ye have G575 from G2316 God G2532 , and G2075 [G5748] ye are G3756 not G1438 your own?
  20 G1063 For G59 [G5681] ye are bought G5092 with a price G1211 : therefore G1392 [G5657] glorify G2316 God G1722 in G5216 your G4983 body G2532 , and G1722 in G5216 your G4151 spirit G3748 , which G2076 [G5748] are G2316 God's.

1 Corinthians 7:32-40

  32 G1161 But G1511 G2309 [G5750] I would have G5209 you G275 without care G22 . He that is unmarried G3309 [G5719] careth G3588 for the things that belong to G2962 the Lord G4459 , how G700 [G5692] he may please G2962 the Lord:
  33 G1161 But G1060 [G5660] he that is married G3309 [G5719] careth G3588 for the things that are G2889 of the world G4459 , how G700 [G5692] he may please G1135 his wife.
  34 G3307 [G5769] There is a difference also between G1135 a wife G2532 and G3933 a virgin G22 . The unmarried woman G3309 [G5719] careth for G3588 the things G2962 of the Lord G2443 , that G5600 [G5753] she may be G40 holy G2532 both G4983 in body G2532 and G4151 in spirit G1161 : but G1060 [G5660] she that is married G3309 [G5719] careth G3588 for the things G2889 of the world G4459 , how G700 [G5692] she may please G435 her husband.
  35 G1161 And G5124 this G3004 [G5719] I speak G4314 for G5216 your G846 own G4851 [G5723] profit G3756 ; not G2443 that G1911 [G5632] I may cast G1029 a snare G5213 upon you G235 , but G4314 for that which G2158 is seemly G2532 , and G2145 that ye may attend upon G2962 the Lord G563 without distraction.
  36 G1161 But G1536 if any man G3543 [G5719] thinketh G807 [G5721] that he behaveth himself unseemly G1909 toward G846 his G3933 virgin G1437 , if G5230 G5600 [G5753] she hath passed the flower of her age G2532 , and G3784 [G5719] need G3779 so G1096 [G5738] requireth G4160 [G5720] , let him do G3739 what G2309 [G5719] he will G264 [G5719] , he sinneth G3756 not G1060 [G5720] : let them marry.
  37 G1161 Nevertheless G3739 he G2476 [G5707] that standeth G1476 steadfast G1722 in G2588 his heart G2192 [G5723] , having G3361 no G318 necessity G1161 , but G2192 [G5719] hath G1849 power G4012 over G2398 his own G2307 will G2532 , and G2919 0 hath G5124 so G2919 [G5758] decreed G1722 in G846 his G2588 heart G5083 [G5721] that he will keep G1438 his G3933 virgin G4160 [G5719] , doeth G2573 well.
  38 G5620 So G2532 then G1547 [G5723] he that giveth her in marriage G4160 [G5719] doeth G2573 well G1161 ; but G1547 0 he that giveth her G3361 not G1547 [G5723] in marriage G4160 [G5719] doeth G2908 better.
  39 G1135 The wife G1210 [G5769] is bound G3551 G1909 by the law G5550 as long G3745 as G846 her G435 husband G2198 [G5719] liveth G1161 ; but G1437 if G846 her G435 husband G2837 [G5686] is dead G2076 [G5748] , she is G1658 at liberty G1060 [G5683] to be married G3739 to whom G2309 [G5719] she will G3440 ; only G1722 in G2962 the Lord.
  40 G1161 But G2076 [G5748] she is G3107 happier G1437 if G3306 0 she G3779 so G3306 [G5661] remain G2596 , after G1699 my G1106 judgment G1161 : and G1380 [G5719] I think G2504 also G2192 [G5721] that I have G4151 the Spirit G2316 of God.
