46:007:029 But this I say, brethren, the time is short:
it remaineth,
that
both they that have wives be as though they had none;
46:007:030 And they that weep, as though they wept
not; and they that
rejoice,
as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as
though
they possessed not;
46:007:031 And they that use this world, as not abusing
it: for the
fashion
of this world passeth away.
46:007:032 But I would have you without carefulness.
He that is unmarried
careth
for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may
please
the Lord:
46:007:033 But he that is married careth for the things
that are of the
world,
how he may please his wife.
46:007:034 There is difference also between a wife
and a virgin. 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 world, how she may please
her
husband.
46:007:035 And this I speak 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.
46:007:036 But if any man think that he behaveth himself
uncomely toward
his
virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need
so
require,
let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them
marry.
46:007:037 Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast
in his heart, having no
necessity,
but hath power over his own will, and hath so
decreed
in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
46:007:038 So then he that giveth her in marriage
doeth well; but he that
giveth
her not in marriage doeth better.
46:007:039 The wife is bound by the law as long as
her husband liveth;
but
if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married
to
whom
she will; only in the Lord.
46:007:040 But she is happier if she so abide, after
my judgment: and I
think
also that I have the Spirit of God.
46:008:001 Now as touching things offered unto idols,
we know that we all
have
knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
46:008:002 And if any man think that he knoweth any
thing, he knoweth
nothing
yet as he ought to know.
46:008:003 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
46:008:004 As concerning therefore the eating of those
things that are
offered
in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is
nothing
in the world, and that there is none other God but
one.
46:008:005 For though there be that are called gods,
whether in heaven or
in
earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
