KJV ¹ Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

TR1550 ¹ περὶ δὲ ὧν ἐγράψατε μοι, καλὸν ἀνθρώπῳ γυναικὸς μὴ ἅπτεσθαι

KJV ² Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

TR1550 ² διὰ δὲ τὰς πορνείας ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα ἐχέτω καὶ ἑκάστη τὸν ἴδιον ἄνδρα ἐχέτω

KJV ³ Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

TR1550 ³ τῇ γυναικὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀφειλομένην εὔνοιαν ἀποδιδότω ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ ἡ γυνὴ τῷ ἀνδρί

KJV ⁴ The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

TR1550 ⁴ ἡ γυνὴ τοῦ ἰδίου σώματος οὐκ ἐξουσιάζει ἀλλ᾽ ὁ ἀνήρ ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ τοῦ ἰδίου σώματος οὐκ ἐξουσιάζει ἀλλ᾽ ἡ γυνή

KJV ⁵ Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

TR1550 ⁵ μὴ ἀποστερεῖτε ἀλλήλους εἰ μὴ τι ἂν ἐκ συμφώνου πρὸς καιρὸν ἵνα σχολάζητε τῇ νηστείᾳ καὶ τῇ προσευχῇ καὶ πάλιν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ συνέρχησθε, ἵνα μὴ πειράζῃ ὑμᾶς ὁ σατανᾶς διὰ τὴν ἀκρασίαν ὑμῶν

KJV ⁶ But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

TR1550 ⁶ τοῦτο δὲ λέγω κατὰ συγγνώμην οὐ κατ᾽ ἐπιταγήν

KJV ⁷ For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

TR1550 ⁷ θέλω γὰρ πάντας ἀνθρώπους εἶναι ὡς καὶ ἐμαυτόν ἀλλ᾽ ἕκαστος ἴδιον χάρισμα ἔχει ἐκ θεοῦ ὅς μὲν οὕτως ὅς δὲ οὕτως

KJV ⁸ I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

TR1550 ⁸ λέγω δὲ τοῖς ἀγάμοις καὶ ταῖς χήραις καλὸν αὐτοῖς ἐστιν ἐὰν μείνωσιν ὡς κἀγώ

KJV ⁹ But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

TR1550 ⁹ εἰ δὲ οὐκ ἐγκρατεύονται γαμησάτωσαν κρεῖσσον γάρ ἐστιν γαμῆσαι ἢ πυροῦσθαι

KJV ¹⁰ And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

TR1550 ¹⁰ τοῖς δὲ γεγαμηκόσιν παραγγέλλω οὐκ ἐγὼ ἀλλ᾽ ὁ κύριος γυναῖκα ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς μὴ χωρισθῆναι

KJV ¹¹ But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

TR1550 ¹¹ ἐὰν δὲ καὶ χωρισθῇ μενέτω ἄγαμος ἢ τῷ ἀνδρὶ καταλλαγήτω καὶ ἄνδρα γυναῖκα μὴ ἀφιέναι

KJV ¹² But to the rest speak 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.

TR1550 ¹² τοῖς δὲ λοιποῖς ἐγὼ λέγω οὐχ ὁ κύριος εἴ τις ἀδελφὸς γυναῖκα ἔχει ἄπιστον καὶ αὕτη συνευδοκεῖ οἰκεῖν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ μὴ ἀφιέτω αὐτήν

KJV ¹³ And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

TR1550 ¹³ καὶ γυνὴ ἥτις ἔχει ἄνδρα ἄπιστον καὶ αὑτὸς συνευδοκεῖ οἰκεῖν μετ᾽ αὐτῆς μὴ ἀφιέτω αὐτόν

KJV ¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

TR1550 ¹⁴ ἡγίασται γὰρ ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ ἄπιστος ἐν τῇ γυναικί καὶ ἡγίασται ἡ γυνὴ ἡ ἄπιστος ἐν τῷ ἀνδρί ἐπεὶ ἄρα τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν ἀκάθαρτά ἐστιν νῦν δὲ ἅγιά ἐστιν

KJV ¹⁵ But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

TR1550 ¹⁵ εἰ δὲ ὁ ἄπιστος χωρίζεται χωριζέσθω οὐ δεδούλωται ὁ ἀδελφὸς ἢ ἡ ἀδελφὴ ἐν τοῖς τοιούτοις ἐν δὲ εἰρήνῃ κέκληκεν ἡμᾶς ὁ θεός

KJV ¹⁶ For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

TR1550 ¹⁶ τί γὰρ οἶδας γύναι εἰ τὸν ἄνδρα σώσεις ἢ τί οἶδας ἄνερ εἰ τὴν γυναῖκα σώσεις

KJV ¹⁷ But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.

TR1550 ¹⁷ εἰ μὴ ἑκάστῳ ὡς ἐμέρισεν ὁ θεός ἕκαστον ὡς κέκληκεν ὁ κύριος οὕτως περιπατείτω καὶ οὕτως ἐν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις πάσαις διατάσσομαι

KJV ¹⁸ Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

TR1550 ¹⁸ περιτετμημένος τις ἐκλήθη μὴ ἐπισπάσθω ἐν ἀκροβυστίᾳ τις ἐκλήθη μὴ περιτεμνέσθω

KJV ¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

TR1550 ¹⁹ ἡ περιτομὴ οὐδέν ἐστιν καὶ ἡ ἀκροβυστία οὐδέν ἐστιν ἀλλὰ τήρησις ἐντολῶν θεοῦ

KJV ²⁰ Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

TR1550 ²⁰ ἕκαστος ἐν τῇ κλήσει ᾗ ἐκλήθη ἐν ταύτῃ μενέτω

KJV ²¹ Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

TR1550 ²¹ δοῦλος ἐκλήθης μή σοι μελέτω ἀλλ᾽ εἰ καὶ δύνασαι ἐλεύθερος γενέσθαι μᾶλλον χρῆσαι

KJV ²² For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.

TR1550 ²² ὁ γὰρ ἐν κυρίῳ κληθεὶς δοῦλος ἀπελεύθερος κυρίου ἐστίν ὁμοίως καί ὁ ἐλεύθερος κληθεὶς δοῦλός ἐστιν χριστοῦ

KJV ²³ Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

TR1550 ²³ τιμῆς ἠγοράσθητε μὴ γίνεσθε δοῦλοι ἀνθρώπων

KJV ²⁴ Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

TR1550 ²⁴ ἕκαστος ἐν ᾧ ἐκλήθη ἀδελφοί ἐν τούτῳ μενέτω παρὰ τῷ θεῷ

KJV ²⁵ Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

TR1550 ²⁵ περὶ δὲ τῶν παρθένων ἐπιταγὴν κυρίου οὐκ ἔχω γνώμην δὲ δίδωμι ὡς ἠλεημένος ὑπὸ κυρίου πιστὸς εἶναι

KJV ²⁶ I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

TR1550 ²⁶ νομίζω οὖν τοῦτο καλὸν ὑπάρχειν διὰ τὴν ἐνεστῶσαν ἀνάγκην ὅτι καλὸν ἀνθρώπῳ τὸ οὕτως εἶναι

KJV ²⁷ Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

TR1550 ²⁷ δέδεσαι γυναικί μὴ ζήτει λύσιν λέλυσαι ἀπὸ γυναικός μὴ ζήτει γυναῖκα

KJV ²⁸ But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

TR1550 ²⁸ ἐὰν δὲ καὶ γήμῃς, οὐχ ἥμαρτες καὶ ἐὰν γήμῃ ἡ παρθένος οὐχ ἥμαρτεν θλῖψιν δὲ τῇ σαρκὶ ἕξουσιν οἱ τοιοῦτοι ἐγὼ δὲ ὑμῶν φείδομαι

KJV ²⁹ But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

TR1550 ²⁹ τοῦτο δέ φημι ἀδελφοί ὁ καιρὸς συνεσταλμένος τὸ λοιπόν ἐστιν ἵνα καὶ οἱ ἔχοντες γυναῖκας ὡς μὴ ἔχοντες ὦσιν

KJV ³⁰ And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

TR1550 ³⁰ καὶ οἱ κλαίοντες ὡς μὴ κλαίοντες καὶ οἱ χαίροντες ὡς μὴ χαίροντες καὶ οἱ ἀγοράζοντες ὡς μὴ κατέχοντες

KJV ³¹ And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

TR1550 ³¹ καὶ οἱ χρώμενοι τῳ κόσμῳ τούτῳ ὡς μὴ καταχρώμενοι παράγει γὰρ τὸ σχῆμα τοῦ κόσμου τούτου

KJV ³² 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:

TR1550 ³² θέλω δὲ ὑμᾶς ἀμερίμνους εἶναι ὁ ἄγαμος μεριμνᾷ τὰ τοῦ κυρίου πῶς ἀρέσει τῷ κυρίῳ

KJV ³³ But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

TR1550 ³³ ὁ δὲ γαμήσας μεριμνᾷ τὰ τοῦ κόσμου πῶς ἀρέσει τῇ γυναικί

KJV ³⁴ There is difference also between a wife 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.

TR1550 ³⁴ μεμέρισται ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἡ παρθένος ἡ ἄγαμος μεριμνᾷ τὰ τοῦ κυρίου ἵνα ᾖ ἁγία καὶ σώματι καὶ πνεύματι ἡ δὲ γαμήσασα μεριμνᾷ τὰ τοῦ κόσμου πῶς ἀρέσει τῷ ἀνδρί

KJV ³⁵ And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

TR1550 ³⁵ τοῦτο δὲ πρὸς τὸ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν συμφέρον λέγω οὐχ ἵνα βρόχον ὑμῖν ἐπιβάλω ἀλλὰ πρὸς τὸ εὔσχημον καὶ εὐπρόσεδρον τῷ κυρίῳ ἀπερισπάστως

KJV ³⁶ But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

TR1550 ³⁶ εἰ δέ τις ἀσχημονεῖν ἐπὶ τὴν παρθένον αὐτοῦ νομίζει ἐὰν ᾖ ὑπέρακμος καὶ οὕτως ὀφείλει γίνεσθαι ὃ θέλει ποιείτω οὐχ ἁμαρτάνει γαμείτωσαν

KJV ³⁷ Nevertheless 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.

TR1550 ³⁷ ὃς δὲ ἕστηκεν ἑδραῖος ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μὴ ἔχων ἀνάγκην ἐξουσίαν δὲ ἔχει περὶ τοῦ ἰδίου θελήματος καὶ τοῦτο κέκρικεν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ τοῦ τηρεῖν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ παρθένον καλῶς ποιεῖ

KJV ³⁸ So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.

TR1550 ³⁸ ὥστε καὶ ὁ ἐκγαμίζων καλῶς ποιεῖ ὁ δὲ μὴ ἑκγαμίζων κρεῖσσον ποιεῖ

KJV ³⁹ The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

TR1550 ³⁹ γυνὴ δέδεται νόμῳ ἐφ᾽ ὅσον χρόνον ζῇ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς ἐὰν δὲ κοιμηθῇ ὁ ἀνήρ αὐτῆς ἐλευθέρα ἐστὶν ᾧ θέλει γαμηθῆναι μόνον ἐν κυρίῳ

KJV ⁴⁰ But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

TR1550 ⁴⁰ μακαριωτέρα δέ ἐστιν ἐὰν οὕτως μείνῃ κατὰ τὴν ἐμὴν γνώμην δοκῶ δὲ κἀγὼ πνεῦμα θεοῦ ἔχειν
