Now G1161 concerning G4012 the things whereof G4012 G3739 you wrote G1125 to me: It is good G2570 for a man G444 not to touch G680 a woman. G1135

I say G3004 therefore G1161 to the unmarried G22 and widows, G5503 It is good G2570 for them if G1437 they abide G3306 even G2504 as I.

I suppose G3543 therefore G3767 that this G5124 is good G2570 for the present G1764 distress, G318 I say, that it is good G2570 for a man G444 so G3779 to be.

And this G5124 I speak G3004 for your G5216 own G846 profit; G4851 not that I may cast G1911 a snare G1029 on you, but for that which is comely, G2158 and that you may attend G2145 on the Lord G2962 without G563 distraction. G563

Now G1161 concerning G4012 virgins G3933 I have G2192 no G3756 commandment G2003 of the Lord: G2962 yet G1161 I give G1325 my judgment, G1106 as one that has obtained G1653 mercy G1653 of the Lord G2962 to be faithful. G4103

Am G1510 I not an apostle? G652 am G1510 I not free? G1658 have I not seen G3708 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 our Lord? G2962 are not you my work G2041 in the Lord? G2962

My G1699 answer G627 to them that do examine G350 me is this, G3778

What? G2228 came G1831 the word G3056 of God G2316 out from you? or G2228 came G2658 it to you only? G3441

If G1487 any G1536 man think G1380 himself to be a prophet, G4396 or G2228 spiritual, G4152 let him acknowledge G1921 that the things that I write G1125 to you are the commandments G1785 of the Lord. G2962

For though G1437 I should boast G2744 somewhat G5100 more G4055 of our authority, G1849 which G3739 the Lord G2962 has given G1325 us for edification, G3619 and not for your G5216 destruction, G2506 I should not be ashamed: G153

For his letters, G1992 say G5346 they, are weighty G926 and powerful; G2478 but his bodily G4983 presence G3952 is weak, G770 and his speech G3056 contemptible. G1848

I am become G1096 a fool G878 in glorying; G2744 you have compelled G315 me: for I ought G3784 to have been commended G4921 of you: for in nothing G3762 am I behind G5302 the very G3029 most chief G5228 G3029 apostles, G652 though G1499 I be nothing. G3762

He therefore G5105 that despises, G114 despises G114 not man, G444 but God, G2316 who has also G2532 given G1325 to us his holy G40 Spirit. G4151

And account G2233 that the long-suffering G3115 of our Lord G2962 is salvation; G4991 even G2531 as our beloved G27 brother G80 Paul G3972 also G2532 according G2596 to the wisdom G4678 given G1325 to him has written G1125 to you;

As also G2532 in all G3956 his letters, G1992 speaking G2980 in them of these G5130 things; in which G3739 are some G5100 things hard G1425 to be understood, G1425 which G3739 they that are unlearned G261 and unstable G793 wrest, G4761 as they do also G2532 the other G3062 scriptures, G1124 to their own G2398 destruction.
