King James Version
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.(1 Corinthians 7:5)
But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.(1 Corinthians 7:6)
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.(1 Corinthians 7:7)
I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.(1 Corinthians 7:9)
And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:(1 Corinthians 7:10)
But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.(1 Corinthians 7:11)
