| 1st-Corinthians 7:1 | Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. | Now, as to the things in your letter to me: It is good for a man to have nothing to do with a woman. | And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: good [it is] for a man not to touch a woman, | But concerning the things of which ye have written [to me]: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:2 | But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. | But because of the desires of the flesh, let every man have his wife, and every woman her husband. | and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband; | but on account of fornications, let each have his own wife, and each [woman] have her own husband. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:3 | Let the husband render unto the wife her due: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. | Let the husband give to the wife what is right; and let the wife do the same to the husband. | to the wife let the husband the due benevolence render, and in like manner also the wife to the husband; | Let the husband render her due to the wife, and in like manner the wife to the husband. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:4 | The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power over his own body, but the wife. | The wife has not power over her body, but the husband; and in the same way the husband has not power over his body, but the wife. | 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. | The wife has not authority over her own body, but the husband: in like manner also the husband has not authority over his own body, but the wife. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:5 | Defraud ye not one the other, except it be by consent for a season, that ye may give yourselves unto prayer, and may be together again, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency. | Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control. | 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; | Defraud not one another, unless, it may be, by consent for a time, that ye may devote yourselves to prayer, and again be together, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:6 | But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment. | But this I say as my opinion, and not as an order of the Lord. | and this I say by way of concurrence not of command, | But this I say, as consenting [to], not as commanding [it]. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:7 | Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that. | It is my desire that all men might be even as I am. But every man has the power of his special way of life given him by God, one in this way and one in that. | 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. | Now I wish all men to be even as myself: but every one has his own gift of God: one man thus, and another thus. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:8 | But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. | But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them to be even as I am. | And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I [am]; | But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them that they remain even as I. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:9 | But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. | But if they have not self-control let them get married; for married life is better than the burning of desire. | and if they have not continence let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn; | But if they have not control over themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:10 | But unto the married I give charge, [yea] not I, but the Lord, That the wife depart not from her husband | But to the married I give orders, though not I but the Lord, that the wife may not go away from her husband | and to the married I announce not I, but the Lord let not a wife separate from a husband: | But to the married I enjoin, not *I*, but the Lord, Let not wife be separated from husband; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:11 | (but should she depart, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband); and that the husband leave not his wife. | (Or if she goes away from him, let her keep unmarried, or be united to her husband again); and that the husband may not go away from his wife. | 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. | (but if also she shall have been separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband;) and let not husband leave wife. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:12 | But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her. | But to the rest I say, and not the Lord; If a brother has a wife who is not a Christian, and it is her desire to go on living with him, let him not go away from her. | 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; | But as to the rest, *I* say, not the Lord, If any brother have an unbelieving wife, and *she* consent to dwell with him, let him not leave her. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:13 | And the woman that hath an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband. | And if a woman has a husband who is not a Christian, and it is his desire to go on living with her, let her not go away from her husband. | and a woman who hath a husband unbelieving, and he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not send him away; | And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to dwell with her, let her not leave [her] husband. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:14 | For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. | For the husband who has not faith is made holy through his Christian wife, and the wife who is not a Christian is made holy through the brother: if not, your children would be unholy, but now are they holy. | 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. | For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother; since [otherwise] indeed your children are unclean, but now they are holy. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:15 | Yet if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such [cases]: but God hath called us in peace. | But if the one who is not a Christian has a desire to go away, let it be so: the brother or the sister in such a position is not forced to do one thing or the other: but it is God's pleasure that we may be at peace with one another. | 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; | But if the unbeliever go away, let them go away; a brother or a sister is not bound in such [cases], but God has called us in peace. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:16 | For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O husband, whether thou shalt save thy wife? | For how may you be certain, O wife, that you will not be the cause of salvation to your husband? or you, O husband, that you may not do the same for your wife? | 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? | For what knowest thou, O wife, if thou shalt save thy husband? or what knowest thou, O husband, if thou shalt save thy wife? |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:17 | Only, as the Lord hath distributed to each man, as God hath called each, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all the churches. | Only, as the Lord has given to a man, and as is the purpose of God for him, so let him go on living. And these are my orders for all the churches. | 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: | However, as the Lord has divided to each, as God has called each, so let him walk; and thus I ordain in all the assemblies. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:18 | Was any man called being circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Hath any been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised. | If any man who is a Christian has had circumcision, let him keep so; and if any man who is a Christian has not had circumcision, let him make no change. | being circumcised was any one called? let him not become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was any one called? let him not be circumcised; | Has any one been called circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised: has any one been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:19 | Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but the keeping of the commandments of God. | Circumcision is nothing, and its opposite is nothing, but only doing the orders of God is of value. | the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing but a keeping of the commands of God. | Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but keeping God's commandments. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:20 | Let each man abide in that calling wherein he was called. | Let every man keep the position in which he has been placed by God. | Each in the calling in which he was called in this let him remain; | Let each abide in that calling in which he has been called. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:21 | Wast thou called being a bondservant? Care not for it: nay, even if thou canst become free, use [it] rather. | If you were a servant when you became a Christian, let it not be a grief to you; but if you have a chance to become free, make use of it. | a servant wast thou called? be not anxious; but if also thou art able to become free use [it] rather; | Hast thou been called [being] a bondman, let it not concern thee; but and if thou canst become free, use [it] rather. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:22 | For he that was called in the Lord being a bondservant, is the Lord's freedman: likewise he that was called being free, is Christ's bondservant. | For he who was a servant when he became a Christian is the Lord's free man; and he who was free when he became a Christian is the Lord's servant. | 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: | For the bondman that is called in [the] Lord is the Lord's freedman; in like manner [also] the freeman being called is Christ's bondman. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:23 | Ye were bought with a price; become not bondservants of men. | It is the Lord who has made payment for you: be not servants of men. | with a price ye were bought, become not servants of men; | Ye have been bought with a price; do not be the bondmen of men. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:24 | Brethren, let each man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God. | My brothers, let every man keep in that condition which is the purpose of God for him. | each, in that in which he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God. | Let each, wherein he is called, brethren, therein abide with God. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:25 | Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be trustworthy. | Now about virgins I have no orders from the Lord: but I give my opinion as one to whom the Lord has given mercy to be true to him. | 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: | But concerning virgins, I have no commandment of [the] Lord; but I give my opinion, as having received mercy of [the] Lord to be faithful. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:26 | I think therefore that this is good by reason of the distress that is upon us, [namely,] that it is good for a man to be as he is. | In my opinion then, because of the present trouble, it is good for a man to keep as he is. | I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the present necessity, that [it is] good for a man that the matter be thus: | I think then that this is good, on account of the present necessity, that [it is] good for a man to remain so as he is. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:27 | Art thou bound unto a wife? Seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? Seek not a wife. | If you are married to a wife, make no attempt to get free from her: if you are free from a wife, do not take a wife. | Hast thou been bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; hast thou been loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. | Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; art thou free from a wife? do not seek a wife. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:28 | But shouldest thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Yet such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I would spare you. | If you get married it is not a sin; and if an unmarried woman gets married it is not a sin. But those who do so will have trouble in the flesh. But I will not be hard on you. | 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. | But if thou shouldest also marry, thou hast not sinned; and if the virgin marry, they have not sinned: but such shall have tribulation in the flesh; but I spare you. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:29 | But this I say, brethren, the time is shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may be as though they had none; | But I say this, my brothers, the time is short; and from now it will be wise for those who have wives to be as if they had them not; | And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having been shortened that both those having wives may be as not having; | But this I say, brethren, the time is straitened. For the rest, that they who have wives, be as not having [any]: |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:30 | and those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not; | And for those who are in sorrow, to give no signs of it; and for those who are glad, to give no signs of joy; and for those who are getting property, to be as if they had nothing; | and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing; | and they that weep, as not weeping; and they that rejoice, as not rejoicing; and they that buy, as not possessing; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:31 | and those that use the world, as not using it to the full: for the fashion of this world passeth away. | And for those who make use of the world, not to be using it fully; for this world's way of life will quickly come to an end. | and those using this world, as not using [it] up; for passing away is the fashion of this world. | and they that use the world, as not disposing of it as their own; for the fashion of this world passes. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:32 | 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 it is my desire for you to be free from cares. The unmarried man gives his mind to the things of the Lord, how he may give pleasure to the Lord: | And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord; | But I wish you to be without care. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:33 | but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife, | But the married man gives his attention to the things of this world, how he may give pleasure to his wife. | and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife. | but he that has married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please his wife. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:34 | and is divided. [So] also the woman that is unmarried and the virgin 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. | And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband. | 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. | There is a difference between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that has married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:35 | And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. | Now I say this for your profit; not to make things hard for you, but because of what is right, and so that you may be able to give all your attention to the things of the Lord. | 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, | But I say this for your own profit; not that I may set a snare before you, but for what [is] seemly, and waiting on the Lord without distraction. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:36 | But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin [daughter], if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth not; let them marry. | But if, in any man's opinion, he is not doing what is right for his virgin, if she is past her best years, and there is need for it, let him do what seems right to him; it is no sin; let them be married. | 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. | But if any one think that he behaves unseemly to his virginity, if he be beyond the flower of his age, and so it must be, let him do what he will, he does not sin: let them marry. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:37 | 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. | But the man who is strong in mind and purpose, who is not forced but has control over his desires, does well if he comes to the decision to keep her a virgin. | 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; | But he who stands firm in his heart, having no need, but has authority over his own will, and has judged this in his heart to keep his own virginity, he does well. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:38 | 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. | So then, he who gets married to his virgin does well, and he who keeps her unmarried does better. | so that both he who is giving in marriage doth well, and he who is not giving in marriage doth better. | So that he that marries himself does well; and he that does not marry does better. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:39 | A wife is bound for so long time as her husband liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. | It is right for a wife to be with her husband as long as he is living; but when her husband is dead, she is free to be married to another; but only to a Christian. | 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; | A wife is bound for whatever time her husband lives; but if the husband be fallen asleep, she is free to be married to whom she will, only in [the] Lord. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:40 | But she is happier if she abide as she is, after my judgment: and I think that I also have the Spirit of God. | But it will be better for her to keep as she is, in my opinion: and it seems to me that I have the Spirit of God. | and she is happier if she may so remain according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God. | But she is happier if she so remain, according to my judgment; but I think that *I* also have God's Spirit. |
