G2532–καί–kai

But if, in any man's opinion, he is not doing what is right for his virgin, if she is past her best years, and there is need for it, let him do what seems right to him; it is no sin; let them be married.

καὶ kai “and”

But the man who is strong in mind and purpose, who is not forced but has control over his desires, does well if he comes to the decision to keep her a virgin.

καὶ kai “and”

So then, he who gets married to his virgin does well, and he who keeps her unmarried does better.

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”

It is right for a wife to be with her husband as long as he is living; but when her husband is dead, she is free to be married to another; but only to a Christian.

καί kai “and”

So, then, as to the question of taking food offered to images, we are certain that an image is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

καὶ kai “and”

For though there are those who have the name of gods, in heaven or on earth, as there are a number of gods and a number of lords,

καὶ kai “Even”καὶ kai “and”

There is for us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we are for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we have our being through him.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled.

καὶ kai “and”

And in this way, doing evil to the brothers, and causing trouble to those whose faith is feeble, you are sinning against Christ.

καὶ kai “and”

Have we no right to take food and drink?

καὶ kai “and”

Have we no right to take about with us a Christian wife, like the rest of the Apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

Or I only and Barnabas, have we no right to take a rest from work?

καὶ kai “and”

Who ever goes to war without looking to someone to be responsible for his payment? who puts in vines and does not take the fruit of them? or who takes care of sheep without drinking of their milk?

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

Am I talking as a man? does not the law say the same?

καὶ kai “also”

Or has he us in mind? Yes, it was said for us; because it is right for the ploughman to do his ploughing in hope, and for him who is crushing the grain to do his work hoping for a part in the fruits of it.

καὶ kai “and”

Even so did the Lord give orders that the preachers of the good news might get their living from the good news.

καὶ kai “also”

And to the Jews I was as a Jew, so that I might give the good news to them; to those under the law I was the same, not as being myself under the law, but so that I might give the good news to those under the law.

καὶ kai “And”

But I give blows to my body, and keep it under control, for fear that, after having given the good news to others, I myself might not have God's approval.

καὶ kai “and”

For it is my desire, my brothers, that you may keep in mind how all our fathers were under the cloud, and they all went through the sea;

καὶ kai “and”

And they all had baptism from Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

And they all took the same holy food;

καὶ kai “and”

And the same holy drink: for they all took of the water from the holy rock which came after them: and the rock was Christ.

καὶ kai “and”

Then do not go after false gods, as some of them did; as it is said in the holy Writings, After resting and feasting, the people got up to take their pleasure.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

Again, let us not give way to the desires of the flesh, as some of them did, of whom twenty-three thousand came to their end in one day.

καὶ kai “and”

And let us not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and came to their death by snakes.
