| 1st-Corinthians 7:1 | Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: 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. | Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me. It is good for a man not to touch a woman. | And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: good [it is] for a man not to touch a woman, |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:2 | Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. | But because of the desires of the flesh, let every man have his wife, and every woman her husband. | But, because of sexual sins, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. | and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:3 | Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: 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. | Let the husband render to the wife her due, and likewise also the wife to the husband. | to the wife let the husband the due benevolence render, and in like manner also the wife to the husband; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:4 | 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. | 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 doesn't have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband doesn't have power over his own 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:5 | 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. | 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. | Don't defraud one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn't tempt you because of your lack 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; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:6 | But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. | But this I say as my opinion, and not as an order of the Lord. | But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment. | and this I say by way of concurrence not of command, |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:7 | 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. | 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. | Yet I wish that all men were like me. However each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind. | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:8 | I say therefore to the unmarried and 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. | But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain 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]; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:9 | But if they cannot contain, 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. | But if they don't have self-control, let them marry. For it's better to marry than to burn. | and if they have not continence let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:10 | And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart 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 | But to the married I command not I, but the Lord that the wife not leave her husband | and to the married I announce not I, but the Lord let not a wife separate from a husband: |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:11 | But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. | (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 if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:12 | 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. | 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. | But to the rest I not the Lord say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave 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; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:13 | And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. | 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. | The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband. | and a woman who hath a husband unbelieving, and he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not send him away; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:14 | 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. | 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 is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:15 | 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. | 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. | Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace. | 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; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:16 | For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? | 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 how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save 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? |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:17 | 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. | 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. | Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies. | 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: |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:18 | Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any 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. | Was anyone called being circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has any been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised. | being circumcised was any one called? let him not become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was any one called? 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. | Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. | the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing but a keeping of the commands of God. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:20 | Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. | Let every man keep the position in which he has been placed by God. | Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called. | Each in the calling in which he was called in this let him remain; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:21 | Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made 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. | Were you called being a bondservant? Don't let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it. | a servant wast thou called? be not anxious; but if also thou art able to become free use [it] rather; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:22 | 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. | 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 was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord's free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ's bondservant. | 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: |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:23 | Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. | It is the Lord who has made payment for you: be not servants of men. | You were bought with a price. Don't become bondservants of men. | with a price ye were bought, become not servants of men; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:24 | Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. | My brothers, let every man keep in that condition which is the purpose of God for him. | Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God. | each, in that in which he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:25 | 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. | 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. | Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy. | 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: |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:26 | I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be. | In my opinion then, because of the present trouble, it is good for a man to keep as he is. | I think that it is good therefore, because of the distress that is on us, that it is good for a man to be 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: |
| 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. | Are you bound to a wife? Don't seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don't seek 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:28 | 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. | 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 if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:29 | But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives 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; | But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none; | And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having been shortened that both those having wives may be as not having; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:30 | 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; | 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 who weep, as though they didn't weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn't rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn't possess; | and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:31 | And they that use this world, as not abusing it: 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 who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away. | and those using this world, as not using [it] up; for passing away is the fashion of this world. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:32 | 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: | 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: | But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please 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; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:33 | But he that is married careth for the things that are 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. | but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife. | and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:34 | 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. | 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. | There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. 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. | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:35 | 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. | 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. | 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 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, |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:36 | 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. | 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. | But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn't sin. Let them marry. | 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. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:37 | 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. | 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. | 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. | 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; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:38 | So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better. | So then, he who gets married to his virgin does well, and he who keeps her unmarried does 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 that both he who is giving in marriage doth well, and he who is not giving in marriage doth better. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:39 | 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. | 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 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. | 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; |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:40 | But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I 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. | But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God's Spirit. | and she is happier if she may so remain according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God. |
