1 Corinthians 7

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.	1 ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܟܬܒܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܠܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܩܪܒ ܀
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.	2 ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܢܐܚܘܕ ܘܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܒܥܠܗ ܬܐܚܘܕ ܀
3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.	3 ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܡܬܬܚܝܒ ܢܦܪܘܥ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܒܥܠܗ ܀
4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.	4 ܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܛܐ ܥܠ ܦܓܪܗ ܐܠܐ ܒܥܠܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܥܠ ܦܓܪܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܀
5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.	5 ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܓܠܙܘܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܐܠܐ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܬܪܝܟܘܢ ܬܫܬܘܘܢ ܒܙܒܢ ܕܬܬܥܢܘܢ ܠܨܘܡܐ ܘܠܨܠܘܬܐ ܘܬܘܒ ܠܗ ܠܨܒܘܬܐ ܬܬܦܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܢܤܝܟܘܢ ܤܛܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܪܓܬܐ ܕܦܓܪܟܘܢ ܀
6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.	6 ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܡܚܝܠܐ ܠܘ ܡܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܀
7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.	7 ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܟܘܬܝ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܒܕܟܝܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܠܢܫ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܝܗܝܒܐ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܀
8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.	8 ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܫܐ ܘܠܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܕܦܩܚ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢ ܢܩܘܘܢ ܐܟܘܬܝ ܀
9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.	9 ܐܢ ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܤܝܒܪܝܢ ܢܙܕܘܓܘܢ ܦܩܚ ܓܝܪ ܠܡܤܒ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܛܒ ܡܢ ܕܠܡܐܩܕ ܒܪܓܬܐ ܀
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:	10 ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܫܐ ܡܦܩܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܪܝ ܕܐܢܬܬܐ ܡܢ ܒܥܠܗ ܠܐ ܬܦܪܘܫ ܀
11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.	11 ܘܐܢ ܬܦܪܘܫ ܬܩܘܐ ܕܠܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܘ ܠܒܥܠܗ ܬܬܪܥܐ ܘܓܒܪܐ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܠܐ ܢܫܒܘܩ ܀
12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.	12 ܠܫܪܟܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܪܝ ܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܐܚܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܗܝ ܨܒܝܐ ܕܬܥܡܪ ܥܡܗ ܠܐ ܢܫܒܩܝܗ ܀
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.	13 ܘܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܒܥܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܘܗܘ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܥܡܪ ܥܡܗ ܠܐ ܬܫܒܘܩ ܒܥܠܗ ܀
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.	14 ܡܩܕܫ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܡܩܕܫܐ ܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܒܓܒܪܐ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܘܐܢ ܠܐ ܒܢܝܗܘܢ ܛܡܐܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܀
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.	15 ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܦܪܫ ܢܦܪܘܫ ܠܐ ܡܫܥܒܕ ܐܚܐ ܐܘ ܚܬܐ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܠܫܠܡܐ ܗܘ ܩܪܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܀
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?	16 ܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥܐ ܐܢܬܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܢ ܠܒܥܠܟܝ ܬܚܝܢ ܐܘ ܐܢܬ ܓܒܪܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܐܢ ܠܐܢܬܬܟ ܬܚܐ ܀
17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.	17 ܐܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܠܓ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܢܫ ܐܝܟ ܕܩܪܝܗܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܠܟ ܘܐܦ ܠܟܠܗܝܢ ܥܕܬܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܡܦܩܕ ܐܢܐ ܀
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.	18 ܐܢ ܟܕ ܓܙܝܪ ܐܢܫ ܐܬܩܪܝ ܠܐ ܢܗܦܘܟ ܠܗ ܠܥܘܪܠܘܬܐ ܘܐܢ ܒܥܘܪܠܘܬܐ ܐܬܩܪܝ ܠܐ ܢܓܙܘܪ ܀
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.	19 ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܕܡ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܥܘܪܠܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܢܛܘܪܬܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.	20 ܟܠܢܫ ܒܩܪܝܢܐ ܕܐܬܩܪܝ ܒܗ ܢܩܘܐ ܀
21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.	21 ܐܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܬܩܪܝܬ ܠܐ ܢܬܒܛܠ ܠܟ ܐܠܐ ܐܦܢ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܬܚܪܪܘ ܓܒܝ ܠܟ ܕܬܦܠܘܚ ܀
22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.	22 ܐܝܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܥܒܕܐ ܐܬܩܪܝ ܒܡܪܢ ܡܚܪܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܒܪ ܚܐܪܐ ܐܬܩܪܝ ܥܒܕܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.	23 ܒܕܡܝܐ ܐܙܕܒܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܀
24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.	24 ܟܠܢܫ ܒܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܩܪܝ ܐܚܝ ܒܗ ܢܩܘܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܀
25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.	25 ܥܠ ܒܬܘܠܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܐܚܝܕ ܐܢܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܬܚܢܢܬ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܗܘܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܀
26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.	26 ܘܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܗܕܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܡܛܠ ܐܢܢܩܐ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܕܦܩܚ ܠܗ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܀
27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.	27 ܐܤܝܪ ܐܢܬ ܒܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܒܥܐ ܫܪܝܐ ܫܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܡܢ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܒܥܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܀
28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.	28 ܘܐܢ ܬܤܒ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܐ ܚܛܐ ܐܢܬ ܘܐܢ ܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܦܓܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܚܐܤ ܐܢܐ ܀
29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;	29 ܘܗܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܐܚܝ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܐܙܕܠܗܙ ܠܗ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܫܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܀
30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;	30 ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܟܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܠܐ ܒܟܝܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܕܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܠܐ ܚܕܝܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܙܒܢܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܠܐ ܡܩܕܝܢ ܀
31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.	31 ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܚܫܚܝܢ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܙܕܩܐ ܕܚܫܚܬܐ ܥܒܪ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܐܤܟܡܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܀
32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:	32 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܕܠܐ ܨܦܬܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܪܢܐ ܒܕܡܪܗ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܢܫܦܪ ܠܡܪܗ ܀
33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.	33 ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܝܨܦ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܢܫܦܪ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܀
34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.	34 ܦܘܪܫܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܐܦ ܒܝܢܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܓܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܪܢܝܐ ܒܡܪܗ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܒܦܓܪܗ ܘܒܪܘܚܗ ܘܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܒܥܠܐ ܪܢܝܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܬܫܦܪ ܠܒܥܠܗ ܀
35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.	35 ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܥܘܕܪܢܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܚܢܘܩܝܬܐ ܪܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܐܡܝܢܝܢ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܟܘܢ ܒܐܤܟܡܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܪܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܀
36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.	36 ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܤܒܪ ܕܡܬܒܙܚ ܒܒܬܘܠܬܗ ܕܥܒܪ ܙܒܢܗ ܘܠܐ ܝܗܒܗ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܘܘܠܝܐ ܕܢܬܠܝܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܨܒܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܠܐ ܚܛܐ ܬܙܕܘܓ ܀
37 Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.	37 ܐܝܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܦܤܩ ܒܪܥܝܢܗ ܘܠܐ ܐܠܨܐ ܠܗ ܨܒܘܬܐ ܘܫܠܝܛ ܥܠ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܘܗܟܢܐ ܕܢ ܒܠܒܗ ܕܢܛܪ ܒܬܘܠܬܗ ܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕ ܀
38 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.	38 ܘܐܝܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܝܗܒ ܒܬܘܠܬܗ ܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܗܒ ܒܬܘܠܬܗ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕ ܀
39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.	39 ܐܢܬܬܐ ܟܡܐ ܕܚܝ ܒܥܠܗ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܕܡܟ ܒܥܠܗ ܡܚܪܪܐ ܗܝ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܠܡܢ ܕܨܒܝܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܒܡܪܢ ܀
40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.	40 ܛܘܒܝܗ ܕܝܢ ܐܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܬܩܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܪܥܝܢܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܝ ܀
