Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 1Co 7:81Co 7:26-27Mat 19:10-111Co 7:37-38Gen 20:6Pro 6:29Rut 2:9 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Eph 5:28Eph 5:331Co 7:9Pro 18:22Pro 5:18-191Co 6:18Mal 2:14Pro 19:14 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 1Pe 3:7Exo 21:10 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. Hos 3:3Mat 19:9Mrk 10:11-12 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. Exo 19:15Jol 2:161Sa 21:4-5Zec 12:12-141Th 3:5Mat 19:11Mat 4:10Zec 7:3 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. 2Co 8:81Co 7:251Co 7:122Co 11:17 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. Mat 19:11-121Co 7:81Co 9:5Rom 12:61Co 12:41Co 12:11Act 26:291Co 9:15
I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 1Co 7:321Co 7:34-351Co 7:26-271Co 7:71Co 7:1 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. 1Co 7:21Ti 5:141Ti 5:111Co 7:281Co 7:361Co 7:39 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: Mat 5:32Luk 16:18Mal 2:14-16Mat 19:3-9Mrk 10:11-121Co 7:15Jer 3:201Co 7:12 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. Jer 3:11Co 7:10Deu 22:19Isa 50:1Jdg 19:2-3Mrk 10:2 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. 1Co 7:62Co 11:171Co 7:25Ezr 10:11-19Ezr 10:2-3 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 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. Mal 2:15-161Ti 4:5Isa 52:1Tit 1:15Rom 11:161Co 6:15-17Ezr 9:1-2Act 10:23 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. Rom 14:19Jas 3:17-182Co 13:111Co 14:33Mat 12:50Rom 12:18Gal 5:22Heb 12:14 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? 1Pe 3:1-21Co 9:22Rom 11:141Ti 4:16Jas 5:19-20Luk 15:10Pro 11:30 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. 1Co 4:171Co 7:241Co 7:20-21Rom 12:3-81Co 7:182Co 11:282Co 8:181Co 7:7 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised.

Act 15:5Act 15:19Act 15:24Act 15:28Col 3:11Gal 5:1-3Act 15:1-2 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. Gal 5:6Gal 6:151Jn 2:3-41Jn 3:22-24Rom 2:25-29Col 3:11Rev 22:141Co 8:8 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. 1Co 7:171Th 4:111Co 7:21-242Th 3:12Pro 27:8Luk 3:10-14 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. 1Pe 2:18-24Col 3:111Co 12:13Luk 10:40-41Luk 12:291Pe 5:7Gal 3:28Heb 13:5 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. 1Pe 2:16Phm 1:16Col 3:22-24Gal 5:1Gal 5:13Rom 6:18-222Pe 1:1Psa 116:16 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. 1Co 6:201Pe 1:18-19Tit 2:14Lev 25:42Rev 5:91Pe 3:18Act 20:28Gal 2:4 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. 1Co 7:20Col 3:23-241Co 7:171Co 10:31Gen 17:1Gen 5:22-241Sa 14:45
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. 1Co 7:61Co 4:21Co 7:402Co 8:8-101Co 7:121Co 15:101Co 7:101Co 7:28 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be. 1Co 7:11Co 7:81Pe 4:17Luk 23:28-291Co 7:281Co 7:35-38Jer 16:2-4Luk 21:23 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 1Co 7:12-141Co 7:20 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. Heb 13:41Co 7:261Co 7:32-362Co 1:23 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; 1Jn 2:171Co 7:31Rom 13:11-12Heb 13:13-14Jas 4:13-161Pe 4:72Pe 3:8-9Ecc 12:13-14 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; Ecc 3:4Jhn 16:22Luk 6:21Luk 6:25Psa 126:5-6Psa 30:5Rev 7:17Isa 25:8 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away. 1Jn 2:171Pe 4:7Jas 4:14Luk 21:341Pe 1:24Ecc 9:7-101Ti 6:17-18Ecc 1:4 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: Mat 6:25-341Ti 5:5Php 4:6Psa 55:22Mat 13:22 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. 1Pe 3:7Col 3:191Ti 5:8Eph 5:25-331Co 7:31Sa 1:4-8Luk 12:22Neh 5:1-5 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. Luk 10:40-421Co 6:20Luk 2:36-37Rom 12:1-22Co 11:28Php 1:20Rom 6:131Th 5:23 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. 1Co 7:33-341Co 7:36Luk 8:141Co 7:2Php 4:8Luk 10:40-42Luk 21:34Mat 19:12 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. 1Co 7:371Co 7:91Sa 2:33 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. So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better. Heb 13:41Co 7:1-21Co 7:32-341Co 7:371Co 7:81Co 7:26 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. Rom 7:2-32Co 6:14-161Co 7:101Co 7:15Mal 2:11Deu 7:3-4Gen 6:2 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God. 1Co 7:11Co 7:25-261Co 7:81Co 14:36-371Co 7:351Co 7:61Co 9:1-31Th 4:8
