G3588–ὁ–ho

And this for your own profit I say: not that I may cast a noose upon you, but for the seemliness and devotedness to the Lord, undistractedly,

τὸ to “the”τὸ to “what”τῷ tō “to the”

and if any one doth think `it' to be unseemly to his virgin, if she may be beyond the bloom of age, and it ought so to be, what he willeth let him do; he doth not sin -- let him marry.

τὴν tēn “the”

And he who hath stood stedfast in the heart -- not having necessity -- and hath authority over his own will, and this he hath determined in his heart -- to keep his own virgin -- doth well;

τῇ tēa “the”τοῦ tou “the”τῇ tēa “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὴν tēn “<the>”

so that both he who is giving in marriage doth well, and he who is not giving in marriage doth better.

ὁ ho “the [one]”τὴν tēn “<the>”ὁ ho “the [one]”

A wife hath been bound by law as long time as her husband may live, and if her husband may sleep, she is free to be married to whom she will -- only in the Lord;

ὁ ho “the”ὁ ho “the”

and she is happier if she may so remain -- according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God.

τὴν tēn “<the>”

And concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that we all have knowledge: knowledge puffeth up, but love buildeth up;

τῶν tōn “the”ἡ hē “<the>”ἡ hē “<the>”

and if any one doth love God, this one hath been known by Him.

τὸν ton “<the>”

Concerning the eating then of the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that an idol `is' nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one;

τῆς tēs “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

for even if there are those called gods, whether in heaven, whether upon earth -- as there are gods many and lords many --

τῆς tēs “<the>”

yet to us `is' one God, the Father, of whom `are' the all things, and we to Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom `are' the all things, and we through Him;

ὁ ho “the”τὰ ta “the [things]”τὰ ta “the [things]”

but not in all men `is' the knowledge, and certain with conscience of the idol, till now, as a thing sacrificed to an idol do eat `it', and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

ἡ hē “this”τῇ tēa “<the>”τοῦ tou “of the”ἡ hē “the”

But victuals do not commend us to God, for neither if we may eat are we in advance; nor if we may not eat, are we behind;

τῷ tō “<the>”

but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the infirm,

ἡ hē “the”τοῖς tois “to those”

for if any one may see thee that hast knowledge in an idol's temple reclining at meat -- shall not his conscience -- he being infirm -- be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to idols,

τὸν ton “who”ἡ hē “the”τὸ to “<the>”τὰ ta “the”

and the brother who is infirm shall perish by thy knowledge, because of whom Christ died?

ὁ ho “the [one] who”τῇ tēa “<the>”ὁ ho “the”

and thus sinning in regard to the brethren, and smiting their weak conscience -- in regard to Christ ye sin;

τοὺς tous “the”τὴν tēn “<the>”

wherefore, if victuals cause my brother to stumble, I may eat no flesh -- to the age -- that my brother I may not cause to stumble.

τὸν ton “the”τὸν ton “the”τὸν ton “the”

Am not I an apostle? am not I free? Jesus Christ our Lord have I not seen? my work are not ye in the Lord?

τὸν ton “the”τὸ to “the”

if to others I am not an apostle -- yet doubtless to you I am; for the seal of my apostleship are ye in the Lord.

ἡ hē “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”

My defence to those who examine me in this;

ἡ hē “<the>”τοῖς tois “to those”

have we not authority a sister -- a wife -- to lead about, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

οἱ hoi “the”οἱ hoi “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

or only I and Barnabas, have we not authority -- not to work?

τοῦ tou “<the>”

who doth serve as a soldier at his own charges at any time? who doth plant a vineyard, and of its fruit doth not eat? or who doth feed a flock, and of the milk of the flock doth not eat?

τὸν ton “the”τοῦ tou “the”τῆς tēs “of the”

According to man do I speak these things? or doth not also the law say these things?

ὁ ho “the”
