First CorinthiansChapter 7 But because of 1fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
Let the husband render to his wife that which is due, and likewise also the wife to the husband.
The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise the husband also does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
But this I say by way of concession, not by way of command.
But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them if they remain even as I am.
But if they do not have 1self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with desire.
(But if indeed she is separated, let her 1remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband), and a husband must not leave his wife.
But to the rest 1I say, I, not the Lord, If any brother has an unbelieving wife and she consents to dwell with him, he must not leave her;
And a wife who has an unbelieving husband, and if he consents to dwell with her, must not leave her husband.
For the unbelieving husband is 1sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the brother; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.
1However as the Lord has apportioned to each one, as God has called each one, so let him walk. And so I direct in all the churches.
Was anyone called having been circumcised? He need not 1efface it. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? He need not be circumcised.
1Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of God's commandments is what counts.
Each one, in the calling in which he was called, in this let him remain.
For the slave who has been called in the Lord is the Lord's freedman; likewise the free man who has been called is 1Christ's slave.
Indicating That the House and the City of God Become the Praise, Safety, and Desire of the Saints, and That Christ Comes to Reign over the Whole Earth through the House and the City of God — the Church PsalmsChapter 107 Give thanks to Jehovah, for He is good,
For His lovingkindness is forever. Hungry and thirsty,
Their soul fainted within them. Then they cried out to Jehovah in their trouble,
And He delivered them from their distresses. And He led them on a straight way
That they might come to a city of habitation. Let them give thanks to Jehovah for His lovingkindness
And for His wondrous deeds to the children of men. For He satisfies the thirsty soul,
And the famished soul He fills with good. Some inhabited darkness and the shadow of death,
And were bound in affliction and irons, Because they rebelled against the words of God
And spurned the counsel of the Most High; Therefore He brought down their heart with labor;
They stumbled, and there was no one to help them. Then they cried out to Jehovah in their trouble,
And He saved them from their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And He broke apart their bonds. Let them give thanks to Jehovah for His lovingkindness
And for His wondrous deeds to the children of men. For He breaks down the doors of bronze
And cuts down the bars of iron. Some were fools, because of their way of transgression;
And because of their iniquities, they were afflicted. Their soul loathed all food,
And they drew near to the gates of death. Then they cried out to Jehovah in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses. He sent forth His word and healed them,
And He delivered them from the pits of destruction. Let them give thanks to Jehovah for His lovingkindness
And for His wondrous deeds to the children of men. And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving
And declare His doings in joyful song. Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Conducting business on the mighty waters, These see Jehovah's doings
And His wondrous deeds in the deep. 1They mounted up to the heavens; they went down to the depths;
Their soul melted in the calamity. They reeled and staggered like a drunken man,
And all their skill was swallowed up. Then they cried out to Jehovah in their trouble,
And He brought them out of their distresses. And they rejoiced that they were quiet,
And He brought them to the haven they desired. Let them give thanks to Jehovah for His lovingkindness
And for His wondrous deeds to the children of men. And let them exalt Him in the congregation of the people
And praise Him in the assembly of the elders. He turns rivers into a wilderness,
And springs of water into thirsty ground; Fruitful land into a salt flat,
Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it. He turns a wilderness into a pool of water,
And a dry land into springs of water. And He makes the hungry dwell there,
That they may prepare a city of habitation And sow fields and plant vineyards
And get a fruitful yield. He also blesses them, and they are multiplied greatly;
And He does not let their cattle decrease. When they are diminished and bowed down
Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow, He pours contempt on princes,
And makes them wander in a pathless waste. But He raises the needy man high above affliction
And makes his families like flocks. The upright see it and rejoice;
And all iniquity stops its mouth. Who is wise? Then let him observe these things
And consider the lovingkindness of Jehovah. PsalmsChapter 108 My heart is fixed, O God;
I will sing, indeed I will sing psalms, Even with my glory. Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn. I will give thanks to You among the peoples, O Jehovah;
And I will sing psalms to You among the nations. Be exalted above the heavens, O God;
And let Your glory be above all the earth. God has spoken in His 1holiness: I will exult;
I will divide Shechem And measure out the Valley of Succoth. Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine;
And Ephraim is the helmet for My head; Judah is My scepter. Moab is My washbowl;
Upon Edom I will cast My sandal; Over Philistia I will shout. Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom? Will not You, O God, who rejected us
And who did not go forth, O God, with our armies? Give us help from the adversary,
For salvation by man is vain. In God we will do valiantly,
And it is He who will tread down our adversaries. PsalmsChapter 109 For the mouth of the wicked man and the mouth of deceit are opened
against me; They speak to me with a lying tongue. And with words of hatred they have surrounded me
And have fought against me without cause. In return for my love they have become my adversaries,
But I am all prayer. And they have set against me evil in return for good
And hatred in return for my love. Appoint a wicked man over him,
And let an adversary stand at his right hand. When he is judged, let him come forth wicked;
And let his prayer be counted as sin. May his days be few;
May another take his office. May his children be orphans,
And his wife a widow. And may his children wander all about and beg,
And may they seek food far from their desolated ruins. May the creditor seize all that he has,
And may strangers plunder the fruit of his labor. May there be no one to extend him mercy,
Nor anyone to be kind to his orphans. May his father's iniquity be remembered before Jehovah,
And may his mother's sin not be blotted out. May they be before Jehovah continually,
So that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth; Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness,
But persecuted the poor and needy and brokenhearted, To put them to death. Indeed he loved cursing, so it came on him;
And he took no delight in blessing, so it was far from him. And he clothed himself with cursing like his garment,
So it came into his inward parts like water And into his bones like oil. Let it be to him like the cloak that he wraps around himself,
And as a belt with which he constantly girds himself. This is the reward from Jehovah for my adversaries
And for those who speak evil against my soul. But You, O Jehovah Lord, deal with me,
For Your name's sake; Because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me. For I am poor and needy,
And my heart is wounded within me. I am gone like a shadow that declines;
I am shaken off like the locust. My knees wobble through fasting,
And my flesh has become lean, without fatness. I have also become a reproach to them:
When they see me, they shake their heads. Help me, O Jehovah my God;
Save me according to Your lovingkindness; And they will know that this is Your hand,
That it is You, O Jehovah, who have done it. Let them curse, but You bless;
When they arise, they will be put to shame, And Your servant will rejoice. May my adversaries be clothed with humiliation,
And may they wrap themselves with their own shame as with a mantle. I will give much thanks to Jehovah with my mouth,
And in the midst of the multitude I will praise Him; For He stands at the right hand of the needy
To save him from those who judge his soul. PsalmsChapter 110 He will execute judgment among the nations;
He will fill the place with corpses; He will shatter the head Over a 1great land. |
