Bible verses about "dating" | YLT

³ Roll unto Jehovah thy works, And established are thy purposes,

³¹ Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;

⁴ honourable is the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled, and whoremongers and adulterers God shall judge.

⁵ and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;

¹² let no one despise thy youth, but a pattern become thou of those believing in word, in behaviour, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity;

³⁰ The grace is false, and the beauty is vain, A woman fearing Jehovah, she may boast herself.

¹¹ For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking towards you—an affirmation of Jehovah; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give to you posterity and hope.

¹ And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: good it is for a man not to touch a woman, ² and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband; ³ to the wife let the husband the due benevolence render, and in like manner also the wife to the husband; ⁴ the wife over her own body hath not authority, but the husband; and, in like manner also, the husband over his own body hath not authority, but the wife. ⁵ Defraud not one another, except by consent for a time, that ye may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your incontinence; ⁶ and this I say by way of concurrence—not of command, ⁷ for I wish all men to be even as I myself am; but each his own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and one thus. ⁸ And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I am; ⁹ and if they have not continence—let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;
¹⁰ and to the married I announce—not I, but the Lord—let not a wife separate from a husband: ¹¹ but and if she may separate, let her remain unmarried, or to the husband let her be reconciled, and let not a husband send away a wife. ¹² And to the rest I speak—not the Lord—if any brother hath a wife unbelieving, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not send her away; ¹³ and a woman who hath a husband unbelieving, and he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not send him away; ¹⁴ for the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified in the husband; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. ¹⁵ And, if the unbelieving doth separate himself—let him separate himself: the brother or the sister is not under servitude in such cases, and in peace hath God called us; ¹⁶ for what, hast thou known, O wife, whether the husband thou shalt save? or what, hast thou known, O husband, whether the wife thou shalt save?
¹⁷ if not, as God did distribute to each, as the Lord hath called each—so let him walk; and thus in all the assemblies do I direct: ¹⁸ being circumcised—was any one called? let him not become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was any one called? let him not be circumcised; ¹⁹ the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing—but a keeping of the commands of God. ²⁰ Each in the calling in which he was called—in this let him remain; ²¹ a servant—wast thou called? be not anxious; but if also thou art able to become free—use it rather; ²² for he who is in the Lord—having been called a servant—is the Lord's freedman: in like manner also he the freeman, having been called, is servant of Christ: ²³ with a price ye were bought, become not servants of men; ²⁴ each, in that in which he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God.
²⁵ And concerning the virgins, a command of the Lord I have not; and I give judgment as having obtained kindness from the Lord to be faithful:

⁷ I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes or by the hinds of the field, Stir not up nor wake the love till she please!

¹⁸ flee the whoredom; every sin—whatever a man may commit—is without the body, and he who is committing whoredom, against his own body doth sin.

³ for this is the will of God—your sanctification; that ye abstain from the whoredom, ⁴ that each of you know his own vessel to possess in sanctification and honour, ⁵ not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God,

⁴ The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up, ⁵ doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil, ⁶ rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth; ⁷ all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.

²² and the youthful lusts flee thou, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling upon the Lord out of a pure heart;
