G3588–ὁ–ho

A married woman is not mistress of her own person: her husband has certain rights. In the same way a married man is not master of his own person: his wife has certain rights.

ἡ hē “The”τοῦ tou “<the>”ὁ ho “the”ὁ ho “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”ἡ hē “the”

Do not refuse one another, unless perhaps it is just for a time and by mutual consent, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer and may then associate again; lest the Adversary begin to tempt you because of your deficiency in self-control.

τῇ tēa “<the>”τῇ tēa “<the>”τὸ to “the”ὁ ho “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”

Yet I would that everybody lived as I do; but each of us has his own special gift from God--one in one direction and one in another.

ὁ ho “one [has]”ὁ ho “one”

But I tell the unmarried, and women who are widows, that it is well for them to remain as I am.

τοῖς tois “to the”ταῖς tais “to the”

But to those already married my instructions are--yet not mine, but the Lord's--that a wife is not to leave her husband;

Τοῖς Tois “To those”ὁ ho “the”

or if she has already left him, let her either remain as she is or be reconciled to him; and that a husband is not to send away his wife.

τῷ tō “to the”

To the rest it is I who speak--not the Lord. If a brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, let him not send her away.

Τοῖς Tois “To the”ὁ ho “the”

And a woman who has an unbelieving husband--if he consents to live with her, let her not separate from him.

τὸν ton “the”

For, in such cases, the unbelieving husband has become--and is--holy through union with a Christian woman, and the unbelieving wife is holy through union with a Christian brother. Otherwise your children would be unholy, but in reality they have a place

ὁ ho “the”ὁ ho “<the>”τῇ tēa “the”ἡ hē “the”ἡ hē “<the>”τῷ tō “the”τὰ ta “the”

If, however, the unbeliever is determined to leave, let him or her do so. Under such circumstances the Christian man or woman is no slave; God has called us to live lives of peace.

ὁ ho “the”ὁ ho “the”ἡ hē “the”τοῖς tois “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”

For what assurance have you, O woman, as to whether you will save your husband? Or what assurance have you, O man, as to whether you will save your wife?

τὸν ton “the”τὴν tēn “the”

Only, whatever be the condition in life which the Lord has assigned to each individual--and whatever the condition in which he was living when God called him--in that let him continue.

ὁ ho “the”ὁ ho “<the>”ταῖς tais “the”

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing: obedience to God's commandments is everything.

ἡ hē “<the>”ἡ hē “<the>”

Whatever be the condition in life in which a man was, when he was called, in that let him continue.

τῇ tēa “the”

For a Christian, if he was a slave when called, is the Lord's freed man, and in the same way a free man, if called, becomes the slave of Christ.

ὁ ho “The [one]”ὁ ho “the [one]”

Where each one stood when he was called, there, brethren, let him still stand--close to God.

τῷ tō “<the>”

Concerning unmarried women I have no command to give you from the Lord; but I offer you my opinion, which is that of a man who, through the Lord's mercy, is deserving of your confidence.

τῶν tōn “the”

I think then that, taking into consideration the distress which is now upon us, it is well for a man to remain as he is.

τὴν tēn “the”τὸ to “<the>”

Yet if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a maiden marries, she has not sinned. Such people, however, will have outward trouble. But I am for sparing you.

ἡ hē “the”τῇ tēa “in the”οἱ hoi “<the>”

Yet of this I warn you, brethren: the time has been shortened--so that henceforth those who have wives should be as though they had none,

ὁ ho “The”τὸ to “<the>”οἱ hoi “those”

those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess,

οἱ hoi “those”οἱ hoi “those”οἱ hoi “those”

and those who use the world as not using it to the full. For the world as it now exists is passing away.

οἱ hoi “those”τὸν ton “<the>”τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

And I would have you free from worldly anxiety. An unmarried man concerns himself with the Lord's business--how he shall please the Lord;

ὁ ho “The”τὰ ta “the [things]”τοῦ tou “of the”τῷ tō “the”

but a married man concerns himself with the business of the world--how he shall please his wife.

ὁ ho “the [one]”τὰ ta “the [things]”τοῦ tou “of the”τῇ tēa “the”

There is a difference too between a married and an unmarried woman. She who is unmarried concerns herself with the Lord's business--that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but the married woman concerns herself with the business of the world--how s

ἡ hē “the”ἡ hē “<the>”ἡ hē “<the>”τὰ ta “the [things]”τοῦ tou “of the”τῷ tō “in”τῷ tō “in the”ἡ hē “the [one]”τὰ ta “the [things]”τοῦ tou “of the”τῷ tō “the”
