³² I want thelō · de you hymeis to be eimi free from concern amerimnos. An ho unmarried man agamos is concerned merimnaō about the ho things of the ho Lord kyrios, how pōs to please areskō the ho Lord kyrios. ³³ But de a ho married gameō man is concerned merimnaō about the ho things of the ho world kosmos, how pōs to please areskō his ho wife gynē, ³⁴ and kai he is divided merizō. · kai An ho unmarried agamos woman gynē · ho or kai a ho virgin parthenos is concerned merimnaō about the ho things of the ho Lord kyrios, that hina she may be eimi holy hagios both kai in ho body sōma and kai · ho spirit pneuma. But de a ho married gameō woman is concerned merimnaō about the ho things of the ho world kosmos, how pōs to please areskō her ho husband anēr. ³⁵ I am saying legō this houtos · de for pros · ho your hymeis autos benefit symphoros, not ou to hina put epiballō a restraint brochos on epiballō you hymeis, but alla to promote pros · ho propriety euschēmōn and kai undivided aperispastōs devotion euparedros to the ho Lord kyrios.

³⁶ If ei · de someone tis believes nomizō he is not treating aschēmoneō · ho his autos virgin parthenos in an appropriate manner , if ean his passions are eimi strong hyperakmos, and kai so houtōs it has opheilō to be ginomai, he should do poieō what hos he desires thelō, it is no ou sin hamartanō— let them marry gameō. ³⁷ However de, the man who hos stands histēmi firm hedraios in en · ho his autos resolve kardia is under echō no mē compulsion anankē but de has echō control exousia over peri · ho his idios desire thelēma, and kai has determined krinō this houtos in en · ho his idios heart kardia to keep tēreō her ho as his heautou virgin parthenos, he will do poieō well kalōs. ³⁸ So then hōste · kai the ho one who marries gamizō · ho his heautou virgin parthenos does poieō well kalōs, and kai the ho one who does not mē marry gamizō will do poieō even better kreittōn.

³⁹ A wife gynē is bound deō for epi such hosos a time chronos as her autos husband anēr is alive zaō. · ho But de if ean her ho husband anēr should die koimaō, she is eimi free eleutheros to marry gameō whom hos she wishes thelō, only monon in en the Lord kyrios. ⁴⁰ But de in kata my emos opinion gnōmē she will be eimi happier makarios if ean she remains menō as she is houtōs. · ho And de I believe dokeō that I too kagō have echō the Spirit pneuma of God theos.

7 “ Do not mē judge krinō others, so hina that you will not mē be judged krinō. ² For gar by en hos the standard krima you judge krinō you will be judged krinō, and kai with en hos the measure metron you use metreō it will be measured metreō to you hymeis. ³ And de why tis do you look blepō at the ho speck karphos · ho in en your sy brother’ s adelphos · ho eye ophthalmos · ho · ho but de pay katanoeō no ou attention to katanoeō the log dokos in en · ho your sos own eye ophthalmos? ⁴ Or ē how pōs dare you say legō to ho your sy brother adelphos, ‘ Let aphiēmi me remove ekballō the ho speck karphos from ek · ho your sy eye ophthalmos,’ and kai look idou, there is a ho log dokos in en · ho your own sy eye ophthalmos? ⁵ You hypocrite hypokritēs! First prōton take ekballō the ho log dokos out ek of ho your own sy eye ophthalmos, and kai then tote you will be able to see diablepō clearly to remove ekballō the ho speck karphos out ek of ho your sy brother’ s adelphos eye ophthalmos. · ho

⁶ “ Do not mē give didōmi what ho is holy hagios to ho dogs kyōn, and mēde do not throw ballō · ho your hymeis pearls margaritēs in front emprosthen of ho pigs choiros, lest mēpote the pigs trample katapateō them autos under en · ho their autos feet pous, and kai the dogs turn strephō and tear rhēgnymi you hymeis to pieces.

⁷ “ Ask aiteō and kai it will be given didōmi to you hymeis, seek zēteō and kai you will find heuriskō, knock krouō and kai it will be opened anoigō for you hymeis. ⁸ For gar everyone pas who ho asks aiteō receives lambanō, and kai everyone who ho seeks zēteō finds heuriskō, and kai for everyone who ho knocks krouō it will be opened anoigō. ⁹ Or ē is there eimi any tis man anthrōpos among ek you hymeis who hos, if his autos son hyios should ask aiteō · ho for bread artos, would give epididōmi him autos a stone lithos? ¹⁰ Or ē · kai if he should ask for aiteō a fish ichthus, would give epididōmi him autos a snake ophis? ¹¹ If ei then oun you hymeis, who are eimi evil ponēros, know oida how to give didōmi good agathos gifts doma to ho your hymeis children teknon, how posos much more mallon will · ho your hymeis Father patēr · ho in en · ho heaven ouranos give didōmi good agathos things to ho those who ask aiteō him autos!

¹² “ So oun whatever hosos ean you would like thelō others anthrōpos to hina do poieō to you hymeis, · ho do poieō also kai to them autos, for gar this houtos is eimi the ho law nomos and kai the ho prophets prophētēs.
