| 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. | For to the rest I speak, not the Lord.

He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; | 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: |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:33 | but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife, | But he that is with a wife, is solicitous for the things of the world, how he may please his wife: and he is divided. | but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife. | But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. |

The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world how she may please her husband. | 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. |
| 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. | And this I speak for your profit: not to cast a snare upon you; but for that which is decent, and which may give you power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment. | This I say for your own profit; not that I may throw a snare on you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction. | 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. |

Let them marry. | 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. |
| 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. | For he that hath determined being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will; and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well. | But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own heart, to keep his own virgin, will do well. | 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. |
| 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. | Therefore, both he that giveth his virgin in marriage, doth well; and he that giveth her not, doth better. | So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn't give her in marriage will do better. | So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth 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. | A woman is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband die, she is at liberty: let her marry to whom she will; only in the Lord. | A wife is bound by law for so long time as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whoever she desires, only in the Lord. | 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. |
| 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 more blessed shall she be, if she so remain, according to my counsel; and I think that I also have the spirit of God. | But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God's Spirit. | But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God. |
