G2192–ἔχω–echō

But I say this, my brothers, the time is short; and from now it will be wise for those who have wives to be as if they had them not;

ἔχοντες echontes “having”ἔχοντες echontes “having”

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.

ἔχων echōn “having”ἔχει echei “having”

But it will be better for her to keep as she is, in my opinion: and it seems to me that I have the Spirit of God.

ἔχειν. echein “to have.”

Now about things offered to images: we all seem to ourselves to have knowledge. Knowledge gives pride, but love gives true strength.

ἔχομεν. echomen “we have.”

For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, taking food as a guest in the house of an image, will it not give him, if he is feeble, the idea that he may take food offered to images?

ἔχοντα echonta “is having”

Have we no right to take food and drink?

ἔχομεν echomen “we have”

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?

ἔχομεν echomen “we have”

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

ἔχομεν echomen “have”

But if I do it gladly, I have a reward; and if not, I am under orders to do it.

ἔχω· echō “I have;”

Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.

ἔχων echōn “having”

For this reason it is right for the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

ἔχειν echein “to have”

But if any man will not be ruled in this question, this is not our way of doing things, and it is not done in the churches of God.

ἔχομεν echomen “have”

What? have you not houses to take your meals in? or have you no respect for the church of God, putting the poor to shame? What am I to say to you? am I to give you praise? certainly not.

ἔχετε echete “you have”ἔχοντας; echontas “having?”

For as the body is one, and has a number of parts, and all the parts make one body, so is Christ.

ἔχει, echei “has”

And the eye may not say to the hand, I have no need of you: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

ἔχω, echō “I have,”ἔχω· echō “I have;”

And to those parts of the body which seem to have less honour we give all the more honour; and to those parts of the body which are a cause of shame to us we give the greater respect;

ἔχει· echei “have;”

But those parts of the body which are beautiful have no need of such care: and so the body has been joined together by God in such a way as to give more honour to those parts which had need of it;

ἔχει. echei “have.”

Are all able to take away disease? have all the power of tongues? are all able to give their sense?

ἔχουσιν echousin “have”

If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell.

ἔχω, echō “may have,”

And if I have a prophet's power, and have knowledge of all secret things; and if I have all faith, by which mountains may be moved from their place, but have not love, I am nothing.

ἔχω echō “I shall have”ἔχω echō “I shall have”ἔχω, echō “may have,”

And if I give all my goods to the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it is of no profit to me.

ἔχω, echō “may have,”

What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.

ἔχει, echei “has,”ἔχει, echei “has,”ἔχει, echei “has,”ἔχει, echei “has,”ἔχει· echei “has;”

Yes, truly, by your pride in me, my brothers in Christ Jesus our Lord, my life is one long death.

ἔχω echō “I have”

Be awake to righteousness and keep yourselves from sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I say this to put you to shame.

ἔχουσιν· echousin “have;”

Yes, we ourselves have had the answer of death in ourselves, so that our hope might not be in ourselves, but in God who is able to give life to the dead:

ἐσχήκαμεν, eschēkamen “has,”
