- 3 Let the husband render to his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.
- 4 The wife doesn't have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband doesn't have authority over his own body, but the wife.
- 5 Don't deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn't tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
- 6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

- 8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
- 9 But if they don't have self-control, let them marry. For it's better to marry than to burn.
- 10 But to the married I command�not I, but the Lord�that the wife not leave her husband
- 11 (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
- 12 But to the rest I�not the Lord�say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.
- 13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
- 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now are they holy.
- 15 Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.
- 16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

- 20 Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
- 21 Were you called being a bondservant? Don't let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
- 22 For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord's free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ's bondservant.
- 23 You were bought with a price. Don't become bondservants of men.
- 24 Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
- 25 Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
- 26 I think that it is good therefore, because of the distress that is on us, that it is good for a man to be as he is.
- 27 Are you bound to a wife? Don't seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don't seek a wife.
- 28 But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.
- 29 But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;
- 30 and those who weep, as though they didn't weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn't rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn't possess;
- 31 and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
- 32 But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
- 33 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
- 34 There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world�how she may please her husband.
- 35 This I say for your own profit; not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
- 36 But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn't sin. Let them marry.
- 37 But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own heart, to keep his own virgin, does well.
- 38 So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn't give her in marriage does better.
- 39 A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whoever she desires, only in the Lord.
- 40 But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God's Spirit.
- 1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don't faint.
- 2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
- 3 Even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those who perish;
- 4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.
- 5 For we don't preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake;
- 6 seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
- 7 But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.
- 8 We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
- 9 pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
- 10 always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
- 11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
- 12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
- 13 But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke." We also believe, and therefore also we speak;
- 14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
- 15 For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
- 16 Therefore we don't faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.
- 17 For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;
- 18 while we don't look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
- 1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.
- 2 For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.
- 3 For when they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in no way escape.
- 4 But you , brothers, aren't in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.
- 5 You are all children of light, and children of the day. We don't belong to the night, nor to darkness,
- 6 so then let's not sleep, as the rest do, but let's watch and be sober.
- 7 For those who sleep, sleep in the night, and those who are drunken are drunken in the night.
- 8 But let us, since we belong to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
- 9 For God didn't appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
- 10 who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
- 11 Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.
- 12 But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you,
- 13 and to respect and honor them in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
- 14 We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all.
- 15 See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good, for one another, and for all.
- 16 Rejoice always.
- 17 Pray without ceasing.
- 18 In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.
- 19 Don't quench the Spirit.
- 20 Don't despise prophesies.
- 21 Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.
- 22 Abstain from every form of evil.
- 23 May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- 24 Faithful is he who calls you, who will also do it.
- 25 Brothers, pray for us.
- 26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
- 27 I solemnly charge you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.
- 28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
- 1 Don't rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
- 2 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
- 3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.
- 4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
- 5 Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
- 6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
- 7 Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
- 8 But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
- 9 Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
- 10 being approved by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, and if she has diligently followed every good work.
- 11 But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;
- 12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
- 13 Besides, they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house. Not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.
- 14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for reviling.
- 15 For already some have turned aside after Satan.
- 16 If any man or woman who believes has widows, let them relieve them, and don't let the assembly be burdened; that it might relieve those who are widows indeed.
- 17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
- 18 For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain." And, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."
- 19 Don't receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word of two or three witnesses.
- 20 Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
- 21 I charge you in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
- 22 Lay hands hastily on no one, neither be a participant in other men's sins. Keep yourself pure.
- 23 Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities.
- 24 Some men's sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.
- 25 In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can't be hidden.
- 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
- 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
- 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
- 4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
- 5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.
- 6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
- 7 For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
- 8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
- 9 But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
- 10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
- 11 For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.
- 12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.
- 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
- 14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
- 15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
- 16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers.
- 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
- 18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
- 19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
- 20 for the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God.
- 21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
- 22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
- 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a mirror;
- 24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
- 25 But he who looks into the perfect law, the law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
- 26 If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn't bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man's religion is worthless.
- 27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
