1 Corinthians 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.
KJV
εἰ μὴ ἑκάστῳ ὡς μεμέρικεν ὁ κύριος, ἕκαστον ὡς κέκληκεν ὁ θεός, οὕτως περιπατείτω· καὶ οὕτως ἐν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις πάσαις διατάσσομαι.
Greek NT
Nisi unicuique sicut divisit Dominus, unumquemque sicut vocavit Deus, ita ambulet, et sicut in omnibus ecclesiis doceo.
Vulgate
Only, as the Lord hath distributed to each man, as God hath called each, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all the churches.
ASV
But as the Lord hath distributed to every one, as God hath called every one: so let him walk. And so in all churches I teach.

But if you wish to withdraw yourself, it must be with the husband's permission, th…

In the same manner, it appears to me that the whole people of Christ, when we regard it in t…
