1 Corinthians 7:8-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 7
8
But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I.
9
But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn
with passion.
10
But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife is not to leave her husband
11
(but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband is not to divorce his wife.
12
But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.
13
And if any woman has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not divorce her husband.
King James Version
Chapter 7
8
I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
10
And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11
But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
12
But 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.
13
And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 7
8
I say to the unmarried and to widows: It is good for them if they remain as I am.
9
But if they do not have self-control, they should marry, since it is better to marry than to burn with desire.
10
To the married I give this command —not I, but the Lord—a wife is not to leave her husband.
11
But if she does leave, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband—and a husband is not to divorce his wife.
12
But I (not the Lord) say to the rest: If any brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
13
Also, if any woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce her husband.
New Living Translation
Chapter 7
8
So I say to those who aren’t married and to widows — it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am.
9
But if they can’t control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It’s better to marry than to burn with lust.
10
But for those who are married, I have a command that comes not from me, but from the Lord. A wife must not leave her husband.
11
But if she does leave him, let her remain single or else be reconciled to him. And the husband must not leave his wife.
12
Now, I will speak to the rest of you, though I do not have a direct command from the Lord. If a fellow believer has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to continue living with him, he must not leave her.
13
And if a believing woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to continue living with her, she must not leave him.
English Standard Version
Chapter 7
8
To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am.
9
But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
10
To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not separate from her husband
11
(but if she does, she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and the husband should not divorce his wife.
12
To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her.
13
If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him.
New International Version
Chapter 7
8
Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.
9
But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
10
To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.
11
But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
12
To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
13
And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.
New King James Version
Chapter 7
8
But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am;
9
but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn
with passion.
10
Now to the married I command,
yet
not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from
her
husband.
11
But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to
her
husband. And a husband is not to divorce
his
wife.
12
But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her.
13
And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him.
