G1161–δέ–de

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for lewdness, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

δὲ de “but”δὲ de “and”

And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

δὲ de “And”

But he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

δὲ de “however”

Flee lewdness. Every sin that a man doeth, is without the body; but he that committeth lewdness, sinneth against his own body.

δὲ de “however”

Now concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

δὲ de “now”

Nevertheless, to avoid lewdness, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

δὲ de “however”

Let the husband render to the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife to the husband.

δὲ de “now”

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

δὲ de “now”

But I speak this by permission, and not as a commandment.

δὲ de “now”

For I would that all men were as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “however”

I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they remain even as I.

δὲ de “now”

But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

δὲ de “however”

And to the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

δὲ de “now”

But if she shall depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

δὲ de “however”

But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, if any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

δὲ de “now”

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

δὲ de “however”

But if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases; but God hath called us to peace.

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “however”

Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment as one that hath obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “however”

But if thou marry, thou hast not sinned: and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless, such will have trouble in the flesh; but I spare you.

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “however”δὲ de “now”

But this I say, brethren, The time is short. It remaineth, that both they that have wives, be as though they had none;

δέ de “now”

But I would have you without anxious care. He that is unmarried, is anxious for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

δὲ de “now”

But he that is married, is anxious for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

δὲ de “however”

There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy, both in body and in spirit: but she that is married, is anxious for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

δὲ de “however”

And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

δὲ de “now”

But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself uncomely towards his virgin, if she hath passed the flower of her age, and need so requireth, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
