King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Now[G1161] concerning[G4012] the things whereof[G3739] ye wrote[G1125] unto me:[G3427] It is good[G2570] for a man[G444] not[G3361] to touch[G680] a woman.[G1135]

2. Nevertheless,[G1161] to avoid[G1223] fornication,[G4202] let every man[G1538] have[G2192] his own[G1438] wife,[G1135] and[G2532] let every woman[G1538] have[G2192] her own[G2398] husband.[G435]

3. Let the[G3588] husband[G435] render[G591] unto the[G3588] wife[G1135] due[G3784] benevolence:[G2133] and[G1161] likewise[G3668] also[G2532] the[G3588] wife[G1135] unto the[G3588] husband.[G435]

4. The[G3588] wife[G1135] hath not power[G1850] [G3756] of her own[G2398] body,[G4983] but[G235] the[G3588] husband:[G435] and[G1161] likewise[G3668] also[G2532] the[G3588] husband[G435] hath not power[G1850] [G3756] of his own[G2398] body,[G4983] but[G235] the[G3588] wife.[G1135]

5. Defraud[G650] ye not[G3361] one the other,[G240] except[G1509] [G302] it be with[G1537] consent[G4859] for[G4314] a time,[G2540] that[G2443] ye may give yourselves[G4980] to fasting[G3521] and[G2532] prayer;[G4335] and[G2532] come together[G4905] again,[G3825] that[G2443] Satan[G4567] tempt[G3985] you[G5209] not[G3361] for[G1223] your[G5216] incontinency.[G192]

6. But[G1161] I speak[G3004] this[G5124] by[G2596] permission,[G4774] and not[G3756] of[G2596] commandment.[G2003]

7. For[G1063] I would[G2309] that all[G3956] men[G444] were[G1511] even as[G5613] [G2532] I myself.[G1683] But[G235] every man[G1538] hath[G2192] his proper[G2398] gift[G5486] of[G1537] God,[G2316] one[G3739] [G3303] after this manner,[G3779] and[G1161] another[G3739] after that.[G3779]

8. I say[G3004] therefore[G1161] to the[G3588] unmarried[G22] and[G2532] widows,[G5503] It is[G2076] good[G2570] for them[G846] if[G1437] they abide[G3306] even as I.[G2504] [G5613]

9. But[G1161] if[G1487] they cannot contain,[G1467] [G3756] let them marry:[G1060] for[G1063] it is[G2076] better[G2909] to marry[G1060] than[G2228] to burn.[G4448]

10. And[G1161] unto the[G3588] married[G1060] I command,[G3853] yet not[G3756] I,[G1473] but[G235] the[G3588] Lord,[G2962] Let not[G3361] the wife[G1135] depart[G5563] from[G575] her husband: [G435]

11. But[G1161] and[G2532] if[G1437] she depart,[G5563] let her remain[G3306] unmarried,[G22] or[G2228] be reconciled[G2644] to her husband:[G435] and[G2532] let not[G3361] the husband[G435] put away[G863] his wife.[G1135]

12. But[G1161] to the[G3588] rest[G3062] speak[G3004] I,[G1473] not[G3756] the[G3588] Lord:[G2962] If any[G1536] brother[G80] hath[G2192] a wife[G1135] that believeth not,[G571] and[G2532] she[G846] be pleased[G4909] to dwell[G3611] with[G3326] him,[G846] let him not[G3361] put her away.[G863] [G846]

13. And[G2532] the woman[G1135] which[G3748] hath[G2192] a husband[G435] that believeth not,[G571] and[G2532] if he[G846] be pleased[G4909] to dwell[G3611] with[G3326] her,[G846] let her not[G3361] leave[G863] him.[G846]

14. For[G1063] the[G3588] unbelieving[G571] husband[G435] is sanctified[G37] by[G1722] the[G3588] wife,[G1135] and[G2532] the[G3588] unbelieving[G571] wife[G1135] is sanctified[G37] by[G1722] the[G3588] husband:[G435] else[G1893] [G686] were[G2076] your[G5216] children[G5043] unclean;[G169] but[G1161] now[G3568] are[G2076] they holy.[G40]

15. But[G1161] if[G1487] the[G3588] unbelieving[G571] depart,[G5563] let him depart.[G5563] A brother[G80] or[G2228] a sister[G79] is not[G3756] under bondage[G1402] in[G1722] such[G5108] cases: but[G1161] God[G2316] hath called[G2564] us[G2248] to[G1722] peace.[G1515]

16. For[G1063] what[G5101] knowest[G1492] thou, O wife,[G1135] whether[G1487] thou shalt save[G4982] thy husband?[G435] or[G2228] how[G5101] knowest[G1492] thou, O man,[G435] whether[G1487] thou shalt save[G4982] thy wife?[G1135]

17. But[G1508] as[G5613] God[G2316] hath distributed[G3307] to every man,[G1538] as[G5613] the[G3588] Lord[G2962] hath called[G2564] every one,[G1538] so[G3779] let him walk.[G4043] And[G2532] so[G3779] ordain[G1299] I in[G1722] all[G3956] churches.[G1577]

18. Is any man[G5100] called[G2564] being circumcised?[G4059] let him not[G3361] become uncircumcised.[G1986] Is any[G5100] called[G2564] in[G1722] uncircumcision?[G203] let him not[G3361] be circumcised.[G4059]

19. Circumcision[G4061] is[G2076] nothing,[G3762] and[G2532] uncircumcision[G203] is[G2076] nothing,[G3762] but[G235] the keeping[G5084] of the commandments[G1785] of God.[G2316]

20. Let every man[G1538] [G1722] [G5026] abide[G3306] in[G1722] the same[G3588] calling[G2821] wherein[G3739] he was called.[G2564]

21. Art thou called[G2564] being a servant?[G1401] care[G3199] not[G3361] for[G4671] it: but[G235] if[G1487] thou mayest[G1410] be made[G1096] free,[G1658] use[G5530] it rather.[G3123]

22. For[G1063] he that is called[G2564] in[G1722] the Lord,[G2962] being a servant,[G1401] is[G2076] the Lord's[G2962] freeman:[G558] likewise[G3668] also[G2532] he that is called,[G2564] being free,[G1658] is[G2076] Christ's[G5547] servant.[G1401]

23. Ye are bought[G59] with a price;[G5092] be[G1096] not[G3361] ye the servants[G1401] of men.[G444]

24. Brethren,[G80] let every man,[G1538] wherein[G1722] [G3739] he is called,[G2564] therein[G1722] [G5129] abide[G3306] with[G3844] God.[G2316]

25. Now[G1161] concerning[G4012] virgins[G3933] I have[G2192] no[G3756] commandment[G2003] of the Lord:[G2962] yet[G1161] I give[G1325] my judgment,[G1106] as[G5613] one that hath obtained mercy[G1653] of[G5259] the Lord[G2962] to be[G1511] faithful.[G4103]

26. I suppose[G3543] therefore[G3767] that this[G5124] is[G5225] good[G2570] for[G1223] the[G3588] present[G1764] distress,[G318] I say, that[G3754] it is good[G2570] for a man[G444] so[G3779] to be.[G1511]

27. Art thou bound[G1210] unto a wife?[G1135] seek[G2212] not[G3361] to be loosed.[G3080] Art thou loosed[G3089] from[G575] a wife?[G1135] seek[G2212] not[G3361] a wife.[G1135]

28. But[G1161] and[G2532] if[G1437] thou marry,[G1060] thou hast not[G3756] sinned;[G264] and[G2532] if[G1437] a virgin[G3933] marry,[G1060] she hath not[G3756] sinned.[G264] Nevertheless[G1161] such[G5108] shall have[G2192] trouble[G2347] in the[G3588] flesh:[G4561] but[G1161] I[G1473] spare[G5339] you.[G5216]

29. But[G1161] this[G5124] I say,[G5346] brethren,[G80] the[G3588] time[G2540] is short:[G4958] it remaineth,[G2076] [G3063] that[G2443] both[G2532] they that have[G2192] wives[G1135] be[G5600] as though[G5613] they had[G2192] none;[G3361]

30. And[G2532] they that weep,[G2799] as though[G5613] they wept[G2799] not;[G3361] and[G2532] they that rejoice,[G5463] as though[G5613] they rejoiced[G5463] not;[G3361] and[G2532] they that buy,[G59] as though[G5613] they possessed[G2722] not;[G3361]

31. And[G2532] they that use[G5530] this[G5129] world,[G2889] as[G5613] not[G3361] abusing[G2710] it: for[G1063] the[G3588] fashion[G4976] of this[G5127] world[G2889] passeth away.[G3855]

32. But[G1161] I would[G2309] have[G1511] you[G5209] without carefulness.[G275] He that is unmarried[G22] careth for[G3309] the things[G3588] that belong to the[G3588] Lord,[G2962] how[G4459] he may please[G700] the[G3588] Lord: [G2962]

33. But[G1161] he that is married[G1060] careth for[G3309] the things[G3588] that are of the[G3588] world,[G2889] how[G4459] he may please[G700] his wife.[G1135]

34. There is difference also between[G3307] a wife[G1135] and[G2532] a virgin.[G3933] The[G3588] unmarried woman[G22] careth for[G3309] the things[G3588] of the[G3588] Lord,[G2962] that[G2443] she may be[G5600] holy[G40] both[G2532] in body[G4983] and[G2532] in spirit:[G4151] but[G1161] she that is married[G1060] careth for[G3309] the things[G3588] of the[G3588] world,[G2889] how[G4459] she may please[G700] her husband.[G435]

35. And[G1161] this[G5124] I speak[G3004] for[G4314] your own[G5216] [G846] profit;[G4851] not[G3756] that[G2443] I may cast[G1911] a snare[G1029] upon you,[G5213] but[G235] for[G4314] that which is comely,[G2158] and[G2532] that ye may attend upon[G2145] the[G3588] Lord[G2962] without distraction.[G563]

36. But[G1161] if[G1487] any man[G5100] think[G3543] that he behaveth himself uncomely[G807] toward[G1909] his[G848] virgin,[G3933] if[G1437] she pass the flower of her age,[G5600] [G5230] and[G2532] need[G3784] so[G3779] require,[G1096] let him do[G4160] what[G3739] he will,[G2309] he sinneth[G264] not:[G3756] let them marry.[G1060]

37. Nevertheless[G1161] he[G3739] that standeth[G2476] steadfast[G1476] in[G1722] his heart,[G2588] having[G2192] no[G3361] necessity,[G318] but[G1161] hath[G2192] power[G1849] over[G4012] his own[G2398] will,[G2307] and[G2532] hath so[G5124] decreed[G2919] in[G1722] his[G848] heart[G2588] that he will keep[G5083] his[G1438] virgin,[G3933] doeth[G4160] well.[G2573]

38. So then[G5620] [G2532] he that giveth her in marriage[G1547] doeth[G4160] well;[G2573] but[G1161] he that giveth her not in marriage[G1547] [G3361] doeth[G4160] better.[G2908]

39. The wife[G1135] is bound[G1210] by the law[G3551] as long as[G1909] [G3745] [G5550] her[G848] husband[G435] liveth;[G2198] but[G1161] if[G1437] her[G848] husband[G435] be dead,[G2837] she is[G2076] at liberty[G1658] to be married[G1060] to whom[G3739] she will;[G2309] only[G3440] in[G1722] the Lord.[G2962]

40. But[G1161] she is[G2076] happier[G3107] if[G1437] she so[G3779] abide,[G3306] after[G2596] my[G1699] judgment:[G1106] and[G1161] I think[G1380] also that I[G2504] have[G2192] the Spirit[G4151] of God.[G2316]
