Let every man keep the position in which he has been placed by God.
Like a bird wandering from the place of her eggs is a man wandering from his station.
Only, as the Lord has given to a man, and as is the purpose of God for him, so let him go on living. And these are my orders for all the churches.
If you are married to a wife, make no attempt to get free from her: if you are free from a wife, do not take a wife.
And that you may take pride in being quiet and doing your business, working with your hands as we gave you orders;
Now to such we give orders and make request in the Lord Jesus, that, working quietly, they get their living.
