1 Korintus 7:6

7:6 I say this as a concession, not as a command.

1 Korintus 7:10

7:10 To the married I give this command – not I, but the Lord ¹  – a wife should not divorce a husband

1 Korintus 7:2

7:2 But because of immoralities, each man should have relations with ²  his own wife and each woman with ³  her own husband.

1 Korintus 11:17

The Lord’s Supper

11:17 Now in giving the following instruction I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

[7:10]  ¹ sn Not I, but the Lord. Here and in v. 12 Paul distinguishes between his own apostolic instruction and Jesus’ teaching during his earthly ministry. In vv. 10-11, Paul reports the Lord’s own teaching about divorce (cf. Mark 10:5-12).

[7:2]  ² tn Grk “each man should have his own wife.” “Have” in this context means “have marital relations with” (see the following verse). The verb ἐχέτω (ecetw, “have”) occurs twice in the Greek text, but has not been repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons. This verb occurs 8 times in the LXX (Exod 2:1; Deut 28:30; 2 Chr 11:21; 1 Esd 9:12, 18; Tob 3:8; Isa 13:16; 54:1) with the meaning “have sexual relations with,” and 9 times elsewhere in the NT with the same meaning (Matt 20:23; 22:28; Mark 6:18; 12:33; Luke 20:28; John 4:18 [twice]; 1 Cor 5:1; 7:29).

[7:2]  ³ tn Grk “should have.” For explanation of the translation, see the note on “have relations with” earlier in this verse.
