For this reason I ^ahave sent to you ^bTimothy, who is my ^cbeloved and faithful child in the Lord, and who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, ^djust as I teach everywhere in every church.

1 Corinthians 7:11-16

11 (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not ¹divorce his wife.
12 But to the rest ^aI say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not ¹divorce her. 13 And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not divorce her husband. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through ¹her believing husband. For otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are ^aholy. 15 Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave. The brother or the sister is not enslaved in such cases, but God has called ¹us ²^ato peace. 16 For how do you know, O wife, whether you will ^asave your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?

1 Corinthians 7:14-33

14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through ¹her believing husband. For otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are ^aholy. 15 Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave. The brother or the sister is not enslaved in such cases, but God has called ¹us ²^ato peace. 16 For how do you know, O wife, whether you will ^asave your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
17 Only, ^aas the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And ^bso I direct in ^call the churches. 18 Was any man called when he was already circumcised? He is not to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? ^aHe is not to be circumcised. 19 ^aCircumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is ^bthe keeping of the commandments of God. 20 ^aEach man must remain in that ¹condition in which he was called.
21 Were you called while a slave? ¹Do not worry about it. But if you are able also to become free, rather ²do that. 22 For he who was called in the Lord while a slave, is ^athe Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who was called while free, is ^bChrist’s slave. 23 ^aYou were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men. 24 Brothers, ^aeach one is to remain with God in that condition in which he was called.
25 Now concerning virgins I have ^ano command of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who ¹^bby the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy. 26 I think then that this is good because of the ¹present ^adistress, that ^bit is good for a man ²to remain as he is. 27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you released from a wife? Do not seek a wife. 28 But if you marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have ¹trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you. 29 But this I say, brothers, ^athe time has been shortened, so that from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none; 30 and those who cry, as though they did not cry; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess; 31 and those who use the world, as though they did not ^amake full use of it. For ^bthe form of this world is passing away.
32 But I want you to be free from concern. One who is ^aunmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord. 33 But one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife,

1 Corinthians 7:36

36 But if any man thinks that he is acting unbecomingly toward his virgin daughter, if she is past her youth, and if it must be so, let him do what he wishes, he does not sin; let ¹her marry.
