Chapter 299
I. CORINTHIANS
18 'Flee a man -doeth is without the body; but -+he_that committeth_fornication sin- neth against ~his_own body.
12 o What? “know_ye not that your
-body is the i temple of_the Holy Ghost | 19 which is in you, which ye_have / of God, é
and ye_are not your_own ?
2 For ye_-are_bought with_a_price: therefore «glorify -God in your body, and in your «spirit, which are -God’s. ; NOW concerning the_things_where-
of ye_wrote unto_me: Jt is good for_a_man not to_touch a woman.
2 Nevertheless, 4 to_avoid -=fornica- tion, ‘let ¢every_man have wife, and ‘let e every_woman have -her_ own husband.
3 'Let the husband render unto_the
wife due also the wife unto_the husband.
4 The wife hath not 4 power of_~her_ own body, but the husband: and like- wise also the husband hath not « power of_-his_own body, but the wife.
5 'Defraud_ye not one_the_other, ex- cept 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.
6 But [speak this «by permission, and not « of commandment.
7 For I_would that_all men ‘were even as |_myself. Bute every_man hath his_proper / gift of God, one »‘after_ this_manner, and another after_that.
8 Tsay therefore to-the unmarried and -widows, It_is_good for_them if they_abide even as £. :
9 But if they cannot contain, -let_ them_marry : for it_is better to-marry than to_burn.
10 And unto_the “married I_com- mand, yet not ¥, but the Lord,-Let not the wife depart from her husband :
1 But and if she_-depart, ‘let_her_re- main unmarried, or -be_reconciled to her chusband : and ‘let not the husband put_away his wife.
1 But to_the rest speak ¥, 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
way.
13 And the woman which hath a hus- band that_believeth_not, and if he be_ pleased to_dwell with her, 'let_her not leave him.
1 For the unbelieving -husband ‘is_ sanctified by the wife, and the unbeliev- ing wife “is_sanctified by the husband :
else 'were your -children unclean ; but|-
now are_they holy. 45 But if the unbelieving depart, ‘let_
him_depart. A «brother ora@-
not under_bondage in -such cases : but -God hath_called us ‘to peace.
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 ?
7 But as -God hath distributed to_ eevery_man, as the Lord hath_called eevery_one, so ‘let_him_walk. And so
ordain_I in all «churches,
