speak
this by permission
, and
not of commandment.
But this I

every
man hath his proper
gift of
God, one after this manner, and another after that.

And
unto the married I command
, yet
not I, but the Lord, Let
not
the wife depart from her husband :
But
unto the married I give
charge
, `yea'
not I, but the Lord, That
the wife depart not
from her husband
But and
if
she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband :
and let
not
the husband put
away
his wife.
(
but should
she depart, let her remain unmarried ,
or else
be reconciled to her husband );

the husband leave

I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a
wife that
believeth
not
, and she be
pleased
to dwell with him, let him not put
her away
.

hath an husband that
believeth
not
, and if
he be
pleased
to dwell with her, let her not leave him
.

husband, and he is
content
to dwell with her, let her not leave her

the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by
the husband

world, as not abusing
it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

But I would have you without
carefulness
. He that is unmarried careth
for the things that
belong
to
the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
But I would have you to
be
free
from
cares
. He that is unmarried is
careful
for the things of
the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
But he that is married careth
for the things that
are
of the world, how he may please his wife .
but he that is married is
careful
for the things of the world, how he may please his wife ,

is
difference
also

and a
virgin
. The unmarried
woman careth
for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth
for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
and is
divided
. `So'
also
the woman that
is

careful
for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is
careful
for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

he sinneth not :
let them marry.

let them marry.

he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over
his
own
will,
and
hath
so
decreed
in his heart that
he
will
keep his virgin, doeth
well.
But
he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power as
touching
in his own
heart ,
to
keep his own
virgin `daughter'
, shall
do
well.
So then he that giveth her
in marriage doeth well; but
he that giveth her not in marriage doeth
better.
So then both
he that giveth his
own
virgin
`daughter'
in marriage doeth well; and
he that giveth her not in marriage shall
do
better.
