    1 Corinthians 7
    • 1   Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
    • 2   Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
    • 3   Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 6   But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
    • 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.
    • 8   I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
    • 9   But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
    • 10   And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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?
    • 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.
    • 18   Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
    • 19   Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
    • 20   Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
    • 21   Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
    • 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.
    • 23   Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
    • 24   Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
    • 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.
    • 26   I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
    • 27   Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
    • 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.
    • 29   But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
    • 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;
    • 31   And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
    • 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:
    • 33   But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 38   So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.
    • 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.
    • 40   But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

  • King James Version (kjv - 3.1)

    2023-07-19

    English (en)

    This is the King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version) with embedded Strong's Numbers. The rights to the base text are held by the Crown of England.
    The Strong's numbers in the OT were obtained from The Bible Foundation: http://www.bf.org. The NT Strong's data was obtained from The KJV2003 Project at CrossWire: http://www.crosswire.org. These mechanisms provide a useful means for looking up the exact original language word in a lexicon that is keyed to Strong's numbers.

    Special thanks to the volunteers at Bible Foundation for keying the Hebrew/English data and of Project KJV2003 for working toward the completion of synchronizing the English phrases to the Stephanas Textus Receptus, and to Dr. Maurice Robinson for providing the base Greek text with Strong's and Morphology.
    We are also appreciative of formatting markup that was provided by Michael Paul Johnson at http://www.ebible.org. Their time and generosity to contribute such for the free use of the Body of Christ is a great blessing and this derivitive work could not have been possible without these efforts of so many individuals.
    Version 3.1 incorporates a more recent set of TR data from Dr. Maurice Robinson than was used in all the earlier versions. The TR data was obtained in 2016 from the Greek New Testament sources website
    https://sites.google.com/a/wmail.fi/greeknt/home/greeknt
    This was integrated into the OSIS source files of an intermediate version 2.9a hosted at
    https://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2011/kjv2.9a/
    It is in this spirit that we in turn offer the KJV2003 Project text freely for any purpose.
    Any copyright that might be obtained for this effort is held by CrossWire Bible Society © 2003-2023 and CrossWire Bible Society hereby grants a general public license to use this text for any purpose.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
