Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> But unto the married I give charge, `yea&#8217; not I, but the Lord, That the wife depart not from her husband <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> (but should she depart, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband); and that the husband leave not his wife. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> And the woman that hath an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> Yet if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such `cases&#8217;: but God hath called us in peace. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O husband, whether thou shalt save thy wife? <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> Only, as the Lord hath distributed to each man, as God hath called each, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all the churches. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> Was any man called being circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Hath any been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but the keeping of the commandments of God. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> Let each man abide in that calling wherein he was called. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> Wast thou called being a bondservant? Care not for it: nay, even if thou canst become free, use `it&#8217; rather. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> For he that was called in the Lord being a bondservant, is the Lord&#8217;s freedman: likewise he that was called being free, is Christ&#8217;s bondservant. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> Ye were bought with a price; become not bondservants of men. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> Brethren, let each man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be trustworthy. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> I think therefore that this is good by reason of the distress that is upon us, `namely,&#8217; that it is good for a man to be as he is. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> Art thou bound unto a wife? Seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? Seek not a wife. <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> But shouldest thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Yet such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I would spare you. <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> But this I say, brethren, the time is shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may be as though they had none; <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> and those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not; <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> and those that use the world, as not using it to the full: for the fashion of this world passeth away. <\/br><strong>32<\/strong> But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord: <\/br><strong>33<\/strong> but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife, <\/br><strong>34<\/strong> and is divided. `So&#8217; also the woman that is unmarried and the virgin is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. <\/br><strong>35<\/strong> And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. <\/br><strong>36<\/strong> But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin `daughter&#8217;, if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth not; let them marry. <\/br><strong>37<\/strong> But he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power as touching in his own heart, to keep his own virgin `daughter&#8217;, shall do well. <\/br><strong>38<\/strong> So then both he that giveth his own virgin `daughter&#8217; in marriage doeth well; and he that giveth her not in marriage shall do better. <\/br><strong>39<\/strong> A wife is bound for so long time as her husband liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. <\/br><strong>40<\/strong> But she is happier if she abide as she is, after my judgment: and I think that I also have the Spirit of God. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n    google_ad_height =
