1 Corinthians 7

Treated in 14 passages across the library.

  • 7:6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment. 3
  • 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: 2
  • 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. 2
  • 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. 2
  • 7:2 But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. 1
  • 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. 1
  • 7:20 Let each man abide in that calling wherein he was called. 1
  • 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; 1
  • 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; 1
  • 7:33 but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife, 1
  • 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. 1
