18Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

- 1 Corinthians 7:2–16Rank 3 from verse 4
2Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4The 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.
5Defraud 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.
6But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
7For 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.
8I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
12But 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.
13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14For 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.
15But 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.
16For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
2Neuerthelesse, to auoid fornication, let euery man haue his owne wife, and let euery woman haue her owne husband.
3Let the husband render vnto the wife due beneuolence: and likewise also the wife vnto the husband.
4The wife hath not power of her owne body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his owne body, but the wife.
5Defraud you not one the other, except it bee with consent for a time, that yee may giue your selues to fasting and prayer, and come together againe, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinencie.
6But I speake this by permission, and not of commandement.
7For I would that all men were euen as I my selfe: but euery man hath his proper gift of God, one after this maner, and another after that.
8I say therefore to the vnmaried and widowes, It is good for them if they abide euen as I.
9But if they cannot conteine, let them marry: for it is better to marrie then to burne.
10And vnto the married, I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11But and if shee depart, let her remaine vnmaried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
12But to the rest speake I, not the Lord, If any brother hath a wife that beleeueth not, and shee bee pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13And the woman which hath an husband that beleeueth not, and if hee be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leaue him.
14For the vnbeleeuing husband is sanctified by the wife, and the vnbeleeuing wife is sanctified by the husband; else were your children vncleane, but now are they holy.
15But if the vnbeleeuing depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not vnder bondage in such cases: but God hath called vs †to peace.
16For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt saue thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt saue thy wife?
