Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.

The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.

The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.

I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife,

and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.

However, if someone thinks he is acting inappropriately toward his betrothed, and if she is beyond her youth and they ought to marry, let him do as he wishes; he is not sinning; they should get married.

But the man who is firmly established in his heart and under no constraint, with control over his will and resolve in his heart not to marry the virgin, he will do well.

Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of its milk?

No one should seek his own good, but the good of others.

Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.

A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

But in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design.

and the secrets of his heart will be made clear. So he will fall facedown and worship God, proclaiming, "God is truly among you!"

And if a revelation comes to someone who is seated, the first speaker should hold his peace.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them-yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.
