| 1 Corinthians 7:29 | And (de | δέ | conj) I say this, my brothers: the time has grown short. From now on those who have wives should be as though they had none, |
| 1 Corinthians 7:32 | I want you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. |
| 1 Corinthians 7:33 | But (de | δέ | conj) a married man is concerned about the things of the world, how to please his wife, |
| 1 Corinthians 7:34 | and he is divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit. But (de | δέ | conj) a married woman is concerned about the things of the world, how to please her husband. |
| 1 Corinthians 7:35 | I am saying this for your benefit, not to put a restraint on you, but to promote propriety and undivided devotion to the Lord. |
| 1 Corinthians 7:36 | If someone believes he is not treating his virgin in an appropriate manner, if his passions are strong, and so it has to be, he should do what he desires, it is no sin — let them marry. |

| 1 Corinthians 8:1 | Now (de | δέ | conj) concerning food sacrificed to idols: we know that “we all have knowledge.” Knowledge puffs up, but (de | δέ | conj) love builds up. |
| 1 Corinthians 8:3 | But (de | δέ | conj) if someone loves God, he is known by God. |
| 1 Corinthians 8:7 | However, not everyone has this knowledge. But (de | δέ | conj) some, because in former times they were involved with idols, eat this food as though it were an idol sacrifice, and thus their conscience, being weak, is defiled. |
| 1 Corinthians 8:8 | Food does not bring us close to God. We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do. |
