¹ You asked me a question. ² Have only one spouse! ³ Both have rights. ⁴ Concede control over your bodies over to your spouses. ⁵ Abstain, if you want to spend time in prayer. Don't let Satan tempt you. ⁶ No pressure to get hitched. ⁷ Follow my lead, for I am single, but that is how God gifts each of you. ⁸ If your a widow, its good to be single. ⁹ But if its hard, the get a hubby! ¹⁰ The Lord commands the wedding. ¹¹ DO NOT DIVORCE! ¹² If your spouse is a non-believer, do not divorce her. ¹³ And vice-versa. ¹⁴ The non-believers spouse trust in God. ¹⁵ If the non-believing spouse leaves, let them go. ¹⁶ God may still work in various ways, and still redeem them. ¹⁷ Live the way God wants us to. ¹⁸ Do not remove marks of circumcision. ¹⁹ It is not important if we are circumcised, obey God. ²⁰ Stay where you are. ²¹ If you were a slave when born again, don' t worry, if you can be free, do it. ²² Because, in the Lord your are no longer slaves to anyone. ²³ He bought you with the price of his Son. ²⁴ Whatever you were when you were born again stay the same. ²⁵ If you are celibate, God has been kind to me so it will be same for you. ²⁶ Remain as you are to endure the coming difficult times. ²⁷ If you are married don't try to become single. But those who are single if you marry you have not sinned. ²⁸ However, you will have worldly troubles. ²⁹ Time is short, so married couples live like you haven't married. ³⁰ Those who are happy, sad, or spent money, don't express emotions visibly. ³¹ People who deal with the secular world should not mingle within them, because its gonna fall. ³² Unmarried persons, have time to work for God. ³³ But, married couples worry about worldly matters and being pleasing to their spouses. ³⁴ Therefore, married couples have little time to spend for God, since they worry more about worldly matters. ³⁵ I am not controlling you, but you will be worry-free than the married people. ³⁶ If you promised to marry, then marry, don't delay. ³⁷ But if you don't want to marry after promising, that's ok too! ³⁸ So the one who marries or does not marry their fiancée, is all ok. ³⁹ Spouses remain together till death, then you may remarry. ⁴⁰ But in my opinion, don't remarry.
