18 «Is any man called “being_circum- cised ? '‘let_him not become_uncircum- cised. *Is any called in uncircumcision ? ‘let_him not be_circumcised.
19 «Circumcision is nothing, and -un- circumcision is hothing, but the keeping of the commandments of_God.
20 'Let eevery_man abide in the_same calling wherein he_was-_called.
21-Art_thou_called being a. servant ? ‘care not for_it: but if thou_mayest *be_made free, suse it rather.
2 For he_that -+is_called in the Lord, being a bservant, is the Lord's / free- man: likewise also he_that -is_called, being free, is Christ’s 4 servant.
23 Ye_are_bought with_a_price; bee not ye the /o servants of_men.
24 Brethren, 'let e every_man, wherein he_*is_called, therein ‘abide with -God.
25 Now popesring virgins I_have no commandment of_the_Lord: yet I_give my judgment, as “one_that_hath_ob- tained_mercy of the Lord to_be faithful.
26 T_suppose therefore that_this is good for the “present ” distress, I say, that it ¢s good for_a_man so -to_be.
27 “Art_thou_bound unto_a_wife? 'seek not to_be_loosed. “Art_thou_ loosed from a wife? 'seek not a wife.
28 But and if thou_*marry, thou_-hast not sinned: and if @ -virgin ‘marry, she_shath not sinned. Nevertheless esuch shall_have trouble in_the flesh; but £ spare you.
29 But this I_say, brethren, the time is “short: it remaineth, that both -sthey_that have wives be as though. they_had none ;
30 And -they_that weep, as sthough_ they_wept not ; and -+they_that rejoice, as ithoughthey_rejoiced not; and -4they_that buy, as +though-they-pos- sessed not;
31 And sathey_that use this -world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of_ this w -world passeth_away.
® But I_'would_have you « without_ au carefulness. He_that_is unmarried careth_for the_things_that belong_to_ the Lord, how he_'tmay-_please the Lord ;
°3 But he_that -+is_married careth_for the_things_that_are of_the v world, how he_'may_please his -wife.
34 There_‘is_difference_also_between
a «wife and @ syirgin. 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 w world, how she_tmay_please her ~hus- band.
85> And this Lspeak. 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.
36 But if any man think that_he_ behaveth_himself_uncomely toward his veyirgin, if “she pass_the_flower_of_
hher_age, and need so require, 'let_him_ do what he_will, he_sinneth not: them_marry.
87 Nevertheless he_that ‘standeth stedfast in his cheart, having no ne- cessity, but hath « power over chis_own
‘let_
