King James Version with Apocrypha
Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
1περι δε ων εγραψατε μοι καλον ανθρωπω γυναικοσ μη απτεσθαι
2Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
2δια δε τασ πορνειασ εκαστοσ την εαυτου γυναικα εχετω και εκαστη τον ιδιον ανδρα εχετω
3Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
3τη γυναικι ο ανηρ την οφειλομενην ευνοιαν αποδιδοτω ομοιωσ δε και η γυνη τω ανδρι
4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
4η γυνη του ιδιου σωματοσ ουκ εξουσιαζει αλλ ο ανηρ ομοιωσ δε και ο ανηρ του ιδιου σωματοσ ουκ εξουσιαζει αλλ η γυνη
5Defraud 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.
5μη αποστερειτε αλληλουσ ει μητι αν εκ συμφωνου προσ καιρον ινα σχολαζητε τη νηστεια και τη προσευχη και παλιν επι το αυτο συνερχησθε ινα μη πειραζη υμασ ο σατανασ δια την ακρασιαν υμων
6But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
6τουτο δε λεγω κατα συγγνωμην ου κατ επιταγην
7For 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.
7θελω γαρ παντασ ανθρωπουσ ειναι ωσ και εμαυτον αλλ εκαστοσ ιδιον χαρισμα εχει εκ θεου οσ μεν ουτωσ οσ δε ουτωσ
8I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
8λεγω δε τοισ αγαμοισ και ταισ χηραισ καλον αυτοισ εστιν εαν μεινωσιν ωσ καγω
9But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
9ει δε ουκ εγκρατευονται γαμησατωσαν κρεισσον γαρ εστιν γαμησαι η πυρουσθαι
10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
10τοισ δε γεγαμηκοσιν παραγγελλω ουκ εγω αλλ ο κυριοσ γυναικα απο ανδροσ μη χωρισθηναι
11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
11εαν δε και χωρισθη μενετω αγαμοσ η τω ανδρι καταλλαγητω και ανδρα γυναικα μη αφιεναι
12But to the rest speak I, 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 away.
12τοισ δε λοιποισ εγω λεγω ουχ ο κυριοσ ει τισ αδελφοσ γυναικα εχει απιστον και αυτη συνευδοκει οικειν μετ αυτου μη αφιετω αυτην
13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
13και γυνη ητισ εχει ανδρα απιστον και αυτοσ συνευδοκει οικειν μετ αυτησ μη αφιετω αυτον
14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
14ηγιασται γαρ ο ανηρ ο απιστοσ εν τη γυναικι και ηγιασται η γυνη η απιστοσ εν τω ανδρι επει αρα τα τεκνα υμων ακαθαρτα εστιν νυν δε αγια εστιν
15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases : but God hath called us to peace.
15ει δε ο απιστοσ χωριζεται χωριζεσθω ου δεδουλωται ο αδελφοσ η η αδελφη εν τοισ τοιουτοισ εν δε ειρηνη κεκληκεν ημασ ο θεοσ
16For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
16τι γαρ οιδασ γυναι ει τον ανδρα σωσεισ η τι οιδασ ανερ ει την γυναικα σωσεισ
17But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
17ει μη εκαστω ωσ εμερισεν ο θεοσ εκαστον ωσ κεκληκεν ο κυριοσ ουτωσ περιπατειτω και ουτωσ εν ταισ εκκλησιαισ πασαισ διατασσομαι
18Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
18περιτετμημενοσ τισ εκληθη μη επισπασθω εν ακροβυστια τισ εκληθη μη περιτεμνεσθω
19Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
19η περιτομη ουδεν εστιν και η ακροβυστια ουδεν εστιν αλλα τηρησισ εντολων θεου
20Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
20εκαστοσ εν τη κλησει η εκληθη εν ταυτη μενετω
21Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
21δουλοσ εκληθησ μη σοι μελετω αλλ ει και δυνασαι ελευθεροσ γενεσθαι μαλλον χρησαι
22For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant.
22ο γαρ εν κυριω κληθεισ δουλοσ απελευθεροσ κυριου εστιν ομοιωσ και ο ελευθεροσ κληθεισ δουλοσ εστιν χριστου
23Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
23τιμησ ηγορασθητε μη γινεσθε δουλοι ανθρωπων
24Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
24εκαστοσ εν ω εκληθη αδελφοι εν τουτω μενετω παρα θεω
25Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
25περι δε των παρθενων επιταγην κυριου ουκ εχω γνωμην δε διδωμι ωσ ηλεημενοσ υπο κυριου πιστοσ ειναι
26I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say , that it is good for a man so to be.
26νομιζω ουν τουτο καλον υπαρχειν δια την ενεστωσαν αναγκην οτι καλον ανθρωπω το ουτωσ ειναι
27Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
27δεδεσαι γυναικι μη ζητει λυσιν λελυσαι απο γυναικοσ μη ζητει γυναικα
28But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
28εαν δε και γημησ ουχ ημαρτεσ και εαν γημη η παρθενοσ ουχ ημαρτεν θλιψιν δε τη σαρκι εξουσιν οι τοιουτοι εγω δε υμων φειδομαι
29But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
29τουτο δε φημι αδελφοι ο καιροσ συνεσταλμενοσ το λοιπον εστιν ινα και οι εχοντεσ γυναικασ ωσ μη εχοντεσ ωσιν
30And 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;
30και οι κλαιοντεσ ωσ μη κλαιοντεσ και οι χαιροντεσ ωσ μη χαιροντεσ και οι αγοραζοντεσ ωσ μη κατεχοντεσ
31And they that use this world, as not abusing it : for the fashion of this world passeth away.
31και οι χρωμενοι τω κοσμω τουτω ωσ μη καταχρωμενοι παραγει γαρ το σχημα του κοσμου τουτου
32But 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:
32θελω δε υμασ αμεριμνουσ ειναι ο αγαμοσ μεριμνα τα του κυριου πωσ αρεσει τω κυριω
33But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
33ο δε γαμησασ μεριμνα τα του κοσμου πωσ αρεσει τη γυναικι
34There 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.
34μεμερισται και η γυνη και η παρθενοσ η αγαμοσ μεριμνα τα του κυριου ινα η αγια και σωματι και πνευματι η δε γαμησασα μεριμνα τα του κοσμου πωσ αρεσει τω ανδρι
35And 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.
35τουτο δε προσ το υμων αυτων συμφερον λεγω ουχ ινα βροχον υμιν επιβαλω αλλα προσ το ευσχημον και ευπροσεδρον τω κυριω απερισπαστωσ
36But 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.
36ει δε τισ ασχημονειν επι την παρθενον αυτου νομιζει εαν η υπερακμοσ 5230 A-NSM και ουτωσ οφειλει γινεσθαι ο θελει ποιειτω ουχ αμαρτανει γαμειτωσαν
37Nevertheless 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.
37οσ δε εστηκεν εδραιοσ εν τη καρδια μη εχων αναγκην εξουσιαν δε εχει περι του ιδιου θεληματοσ και τουτο κεκρικεν εν τη καρδια αυτου του τηρειν την εαυτου παρθενον καλωσ ποιει
38So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.
38ωστε και ο εκγαμιζων καλωσ ποιει ο δε μη εκγαμιζων κρεισσον ποιει
39The 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.
39γυνη δεδεται νομω εφ οσον χρονον ζη ο ανηρ αυτησ εαν δε και κοιμηθη ο ανηρ ελευθερα εστιν ω θελει γαμηθηναι μονον εν κυριω
40But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
40μακαριωτερα δε εστιν εαν ουτωσ μεινη κατα την εμην γνωμην δοκω δε καγω πνευμα θεου εχειν
