G3361–μή–mē

Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control.

μὴ mē “Not”μὴ mē “not”

But to the married I give orders, though not I but the Lord, that the wife may not go away from her husband

μὴ mē “not”

(Or if she goes away from him, let her keep unmarried, or be united to her husband again); and that the husband may not go away from his wife.

μὴ mē “not”

But to the rest I say, and not the Lord; If a brother has a wife who is not a Christian, and it is her desire to go on living with him, let him not go away from her.

μὴ mē “not”

And if a woman has a husband who is not a Christian, and it is his desire to go on living with her, let her not go away from her husband.

μὴ mē “not”

Only, as the Lord has given to a man, and as is the purpose of God for him, so let him go on living. And these are my orders for all the churches.

μὴ mē “except”

If any man who is a Christian has had circumcision, let him keep so; and if any man who is a Christian has not had circumcision, let him make no change.

μὴ mē “Not”μὴ mē “Not”

If you were a servant when you became a Christian, let it not be a grief to you; but if you have a chance to become free, make use of it.

μή mē “not”

It is the Lord who has made payment for you: be not servants of men.

μὴ mē “not”

If you are married to a wife, make no attempt to get free from her: if you are free from a wife, do not take a wife.

μὴ mē “Not”μὴ mē “Not”

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;

μὴ mē “none”

And for those who are in sorrow, to give no signs of it; and for those who are glad, to give no signs of joy; and for those who are getting property, to be as if they had nothing;

μὴ mē “not”μὴ mē “not”μὴ mē “not”

And for those who make use of the world, not to be using it fully; for this world's way of life will quickly come to an end.

μὴ mē “not”

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.

μὴ mē “not”

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

μὴ mē “not”

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.

μὴ mē “except”

But God's approval of us is not based on the food we take: if we do not take it we are no worse for it; and if we take it we are no better.

μὴ mē “not”

But take care that this power of yours does not give cause for trouble to the feeble.

μή mē “lest”

For this reason, if food is a cause of trouble to my brother, I will give up taking meat for ever, so that I may not be a cause of trouble to my brother.

μὴ mē “not”μὴ mē “not”

Have we no right to take food and drink?

μὴ mē “certainly”

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?

μὴ mē “certainly”

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

μὴ mē “not”

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

μὴ mē “Not”

For it says in the law of Moses, It is not right to keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it. Is it for the oxen that God is giving orders?

μὴ mē “Surely not”

If others have a part in this right over you, have we not even more? But we did not make use of our right, so that we might put nothing in the way of the good news of Christ.

μή mē “not”
