To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not
separate from her husband (but if she does, she should remain unmarried or

wife.

wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, ‘God
made them male and female.’ ...

To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not
separate from her husband (but if she does, she should remain unmarried or
else be reconciled to her husband), and the husband should not divorce his
wife. To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an
unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. If
any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with
her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy
because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her
husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are
holy. ...

( incrédula), y ella consiente en habitar con él, no la despida.

ella, no lo deje.

marido: pues de otra manera vuestros hijos serían inmundos; empero ahora son
santos ( pero tal como es, ellos son divinos).

you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know,
husband, whether you will save your wife?

man's wife, and the latter man hates her and writes her a certificate of
divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter
man dies, who took her to be his wife, then her former husband, who sent
her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has been defiled,
for that is an abomination before the LORD. And you shall not bring sin upon
the land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance.

Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man
not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But because of the temptation
to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman
her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights,
and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority
over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not
have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one
another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may
devote yourselves to prayer ( fasting); but then come together again, so that
Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. ...

1Co 7:6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

1Co 7:7 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.
1Co 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for
them if they abide even as I.
1Co 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to
marry than to burn.
1Co 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord,
Let not the wife depart from her husband:
1Co 7:11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be
reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his
wife.
1Co 7:12 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.
1Co 7:13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not,
and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
1Co 7:14 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.
1Co 7:15 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.
1Co 7:16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save
thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt
save thy wife?
1Co 7:17 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.
1Co 7:18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become
uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be
circumcised.
1Co 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing,
but the keeping of the commandments of God.
1Co 7:20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was
called.
1Co 7:21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou
mayest be made free, use it rather.
1Co 7:22 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.
1Co 7:23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
1Co 7:24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide
with God.
1Co 7:25 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.
1Co 7:26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present
distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
1Co 7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou
loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
1Co 7:28 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.
1Co 7:29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth,
that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
1Co 7:30 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;
1Co 7:31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the
fashion of this world passeth away.
1Co 7:32 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:
1Co 7:33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the
world, how he may please his wife.
1Co 7:34 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.
1Co 7:35 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.
1Co 7:36 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.
1Co 7:37 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.
1Co 7:38 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he
that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.
1Co 7:39 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.
1Co 7:40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I
think also that I have the Spirit of God.

1  CUANTO á las cosas de que me escribisteis, bien es al hombre no tocar mujer

(no tener relaciones sexuales con una mujer).
2  Mas á causa de las fornicaciones ( la tentación de índole de inmoralidad
sexual) , cada uno tenga su mujer, y cada una tenga su marido.
3  El marido pague á la mujer la debida benevolencia otorgue a su esposa sus
derechos conjugales); y asimismo la mujer al marido.
4  La mujer no tiene potestad ( autoridad sobre)( tiene bajo su control) de su
propio cuerpo, sino el marido: é igualmente tampoco el marido tiene
( competencia por) ( goza de atribuciones )potestad de su propio cuerpo, sino la
mujer.
5  No os defraudéis ( se priven )el uno al otro, á no ser por algún tiempo de
mutuo consentimiento, para ocuparos en la oración ( el ayuno): y volved á
juntaros en uno, porque ( para que) ( de manera tal que) no os tiente Satanás á
causa de vuestra incontinencia ( falta de auto-control).
6  Mas esto digo por permisión, no por mandamiento.
7  Quisiera más bien que todos los hombres fuesen como yo: empero cada uno
tiene su propio don ( habilidad espiritual) de Dios; uno á la verdad así, y otro
así.
8  Digo pues á los solteros y á las viudas, que bueno les es si se quedaren como
yo.
9  Y si no tienen don de continencia, cásense; que mejor es casarse que
quemarse (excitarse ( en ira, pena, pasión).
10  Mas á los que están juntos en matrimonio, denuncio (mando), no yo, sino el
Señor: Que la mujer no se aparte del marido;
11  Y si se apartare, que se quede sin casar, ó reconcíliese con su marido; y que el
marido no despida á su mujer.
12  Y á los demás yo digo, no el Señor: si algún hermano tiene mujer infiel, y ella
consiente en habitar con él, no la despida.
13  Y la mujer que tiene marido infiel, y él consiente en habitar con ella, no lo
deje.
14  Porque el marido infiel es santificado en la mujer, y la mujer infiel en el
marido: pues de otra manera vuestros hijos serían inmundos; empero ahora son
santos.
15  Pero si el infiel se aparta, apártese: que no es el hermano ó la hermana sujeto
á servidumbre en semejante caso; antes á paz nos llamó Dios.
16  Porque ¿de dónde sabes, oh mujer, si quizá harás salva á tu marido? ¿ó de
dónde sabes, oh marido, si quizá harás salvo á tu mujer?
26  Tengo, pues, esto por bueno á causa de ( la angustia,sufrimiento) la
necesidad que apremia, que bueno es al hombre estarse así.
27  ¿Estás ligado ( asociado, sujeto,unido) (bound) á mujer (esposa)? no
procures (busques, veas la manera) ( de dejarla suelta, libre) soltarte. ¿Estáis
(desposado)suelto de mujer? No ( os esposeis) procures mujer.
28  Mas también si tomares mujer (te unieres a ), no pecaste; y si ( una virgen)la
doncella se casare, no pecó: pero aflicción ( presión, problemas, cargas,
responsabilidades) de carne tendrán los tales; mas yo os dejo.
29  Esto empero digo, hermanos, que el tiempo es corto: lo que resta es, que los
que tienen mujeres sean como los que no las tienen,
30  Y los que lloran, como los que no lloran; y los que se huelgan, como los que
no se huelgan; y los que compran, como los que no poseen;
31  Y los que usan de este mundo, como los que no usan: porque la apariencia de
este mundo se pasa.
32  Quisiera, pues, que estuvieseis sin congoja. El soltero tiene cuidado de las
cosas que son del Señor, cómo ha de agradar al Señor:
33  Empero el que se casó tiene cuidado de las cosas que son del mundo, cómo
ha de agradar á su mujer.
34  Hay asimismo diferencia entre la casada y la (virgen)doncella: la doncella
( sin casarse, sin unirse, sin tener relaciones sexuales)tiene cuidado de las cosas
del Señor, para ser santa ( casta, pura, impoluta, consagrada, devota) así en el
cuerpo como en el espíritu: mas la casada tiene cuidado de las cosas del mundo,
cómo ha de agradar á su marido.
35  Esto empero digo para vuestro provecho; no para echaros lazo, sino para lo
honesto y decente, y para que sin impedimento os lleguéis al Señor.
36  Mas, si á alguno parece cosa fea en su hija virgen, que pase ya de edad, y que
así conviene que se haga, haga lo que quisiere, no peca; cásese.
37  Pero el que está firme en su corazón, y no tiene necesidad, sino que tiene
libertad de su voluntad, y determinó en su corazón esto, el guardar su hija
virgen, bien hace.
38  Así que, el que la da en casamiento, bien hace; y el que no la da en
casamiento, hace mejor.
39  La mujer casada está atada á la ley, mientras vive su marido; mas si su
marido muriere, libre es: cásese con quien quisiere, con tal que sea en el Señor
( tiene la libertad de casarse a quien prefiera en nombre del Señor.
40  Empero más venturosa ( que asi viva, asi lo acepte )será si se quedare así,
según mi ( razón )consejo; y pienso que también yo tengo Espíritu de Dios.

And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to

Mat 19:3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and

Mat 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read,
that he which made them at the beginning made them male and

Mat 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and
mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one
flesh?
Mat 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What
therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Mat 19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give
a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
Mat 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your

beginning it was not so.
Mat 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife,
except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth
adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit
adultery.
3  Entonces se llegaron á él los Fariseos, tentándole, y diciéndole: ¿Es lícito al

4  Y él respondiendo, les dijo: ¿No habéis leído que el que los hizo al principio,
macho y hembra los hizo,
5  Y dijo: Por tanto, el hombre dejará padre y madre, y se unirá á su mujer, y
serán dos en una carne?
6  Así que, no son ya más dos, sino una carne: por tanto, lo que Dios juntó, no lo
aparte el hombre.
7  Dícenle: ¿Por qué, pues, Moisés mandó dar carta de divorcio, y repudiarla?
8  Díceles: Por la dureza de vuestro corazón Moisés os permitió repudiar á
vuestras mujeres: mas al principio no fué así.

adultera.

seeking? Godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and let none of
you be faithless to the wife of your youth. “For the man who does not love
his wife but divorces her, says the LORD, the God of Israel, covers his

“When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favor in his
eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a
certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house,
and she departs out of his house, and if she goes and becomes another
man's wife, and the latter man hates her and writes her a certificate of
divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter
man dies, who took her to be his wife, then her former husband, who sent
her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has been defiled,
for that is an abomination before the LORD. And you shall not bring sin upon
the land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance. “When a
man is newly married, he shall not go out with the army or be liable for any
other public duty. He shall be free at home one year to be happy with his
wife whom he has taken. ...

1 Corinthians 7:12-15 ESV / 2 helpful votes

To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an
unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. If
any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with
her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy
because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her
husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are
holy. But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the
brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace.
