1 Corinthians 7:10

but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.

Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.

For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.

One who hates and divorces”, says Yahweh, the God of Israel, “covers his garment with violence!” says Yahweh of Armies. “Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you don’t be unfaithful.

but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.

So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.

I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.

That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

“Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so you have dealt treacherously with me, house of Israel,” says Yahweh.

I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”

Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.

When a man takes a wife and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a certificate of divorce, put it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said, “I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.

Yes, you didn’t hear. Yes, you didn’t know. Yes, from of old your ear was not opened, for I knew that you dealt very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.

For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me,” says Yahweh.

He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.

If a woman herself divorces her husband, and marries another, she commits adultery.”

For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:

Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.

Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.

I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;

They shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the young lady, because he has given a bad name to a virgin of Israel. She shall be his wife. He may not put her away all his days.

When she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.

Therefore I said, ‘Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.’

Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.

His mouth is sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.

Yahweh says, “Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce, with which I have put her away? Or to which of my creditors have I sold you? Behold, you were sold for your iniquities, and your mother was put away for your transgressions.

“They say, ‘If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him, and becomes another man’s, should he return to her again?’ Wouldn’t that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the prostitute with many lovers; yet return again to me,” says Yahweh.

Yahweh said to me, “Go again, love a woman loved by another, and an adulteress, even as Yahweh loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins.”

They are unfaithful to Yahweh; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.

But they, like Adam, have broken the covenant. They were unfaithful to me, there.

Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness of Yahweh which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;

For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.

But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.

Have we no right to take along a wife who is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

If any man thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.

But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.

I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.

Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

Therefore he who rejects this doesn’t reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.

Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,
