¹³ And this a second time ye do, Covering with tears the altar of Jehovah, With weeping and groaning, Because there is no more turning unto the present, Or receiving of a pleasing thing from your hand. ¹⁴ And ye have said, `Wherefore?' Because Jehovah hath testified between thee And the wife of thy youth, That thou hast dealt treacherously against her, And she thy companion, and thy covenant-wife. ¹⁵ And He did not make one only, And He hath the remnant of the Spirit. And what is the one alone! He is seeking a godly seed. And ye have been watchful over your spirit, And with the wife of thy youth, None doth deal treacherously. ¹⁶ For I hate sending away, said Jehovah, God of Israel, And He who hath covered violence with his clothing, said Jehovah of Hosts, And ye have been watchful over your spirit, And ye do not deal treacherously.

⁸ and they shall be—the two—for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh; ⁹ what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.' ¹⁰ And in the house again his disciples of the same thing questioned him, ¹¹ and he saith to them, `Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, doth commit adultery against her; ¹² and if a woman may put away her husband, and is married to another, she committeth adultery.'

²⁵ The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it, ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it with the bathing of the water in the saying, ²⁷ that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished; ²⁸ so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife—himself he doth love; ²⁹ for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord—the assembly, ³⁰ because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones; ³¹ `for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be—the two—for one flesh;' ³² this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly; ³³ but ye also, every one in particular—let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife—that she may reverence the husband.

²² The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord, ²³ because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ is head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body, ²⁴ but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also are the wives to their own husbands in everything. ²⁵ The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it, ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it with the bathing of the water in the saying, ²⁷ that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished; ²⁸ so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife—himself he doth love; ²⁹ for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord—the assembly, ³⁰ because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones; ³¹ `for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be—the two—for one flesh;' ³² this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly; ³³ but ye also, every one in particular—let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife—that she may reverence the husband.

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: ²⁶ I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the present necessity, that it is good for a man that the matter be thus: — ²⁷ Hast thou been bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; hast thou been loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. ²⁸ But and if thou mayest marry, thou didst not sin; and if the virgin may marry, she did not sin; and such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I spare you. ²⁹ And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having been shortened—that both those having wives may be as not having; ³⁰ and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing; ³¹ and those using this world, as not using it up; for passing away is the fashion of this world. ³² And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord; ³³ and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife. ³⁴ The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband. ³⁵ And this for your own profit I say: not that I may cast a noose upon you, but for the seemliness and devotedness to the Lord, undistractedly,
³⁶ and if any one doth think it to be unseemly to his virgin, if she may be beyond the bloom of age, and it ought so to be, what he willeth let him do; he doth not sin—let him marry. ³⁷ And he who hath stood stedfast in the heart—not having necessity—and hath authority over his own will, and this he hath determined in his heart—to keep his own virgin—doth well; ³⁸ so that both he who is giving in marriage doth well, and he who is not giving in marriage doth better.
³⁹ A wife hath been bound by law as long time as her husband may live, and if her husband may sleep, she is free to be married to whom she will—only in the Lord; ⁴⁰ and she is happier if she may so remain—according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God.
