G1161–δέ–de

"Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods," but God will bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

δὲ de “but”δὲ de “and”

Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

δὲ de “And”

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

δὲ de “however”

Flee sexual immorality! "Every sin that a man does is outside the body," but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

δὲ de “however”

Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

δὲ de “now”

But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

δὲ de “however”

Let the husband render to his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

δὲ de “now”

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.

δὲ de “now”

But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

δὲ de “now”

Yet I wish that all men were like me. However each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “however”

But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.

δὲ de “now”

But if they don't have self-control, let them marry. For it's better to marry than to burn.

δὲ de “however”

But to the married I command--not I, but the Lord--that the wife not leave her husband

δὲ de “now”

(but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.

δὲ de “however”

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.

δὲ de “now”

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.

δὲ de “however”

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.

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “however”

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.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “however”

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.

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

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;

δέ de “now”

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;

δὲ de “now”

but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

δὲ de “however”

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.

δὲ de “however”

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.

δὲ de “now”

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.
