1 Cor. 6:19-7:15 (17 in 17 verses)

 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

 7:3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

 7:4 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.

 7:5 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.

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

 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.

 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.
