1 Corinthians 7:6

Hebrew Names version (HNV)

But this I say by way of concession, not of mitzvah.

See the chapter Copy

But to the married I command--not I, but the Lord--that the wife not leave her husband

But to the rest I--not the Lord--say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.

Now concerning virgins, I have no mitzvah from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.

But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God's Spirit.

That which I speak, I don't speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

I speak not by way of mitzvah, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
