First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians VII [1] NOW concerning the things whereof ye wrote: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.[2] But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.[3] Let the husband render unto the wife her due: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.[4] The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power over his own body, but the wife.[5] Defraud ye not one the other, except it be by consent for a season, that ye may give yourselves unto prayer, and may be together again, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency.[6] But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.[7] Yet 1 I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.[8] But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.[9] But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.[10] But unto the married I give charge, yea not I, but the Lord, That the wife depart not from her husband[11] (but should she depart, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband); and that the husband leave not his wife.[12] But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her.[13] And the woman that hath an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.[14] For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.[15] Yet if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us 2 in peace.[16] For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O husband, whether thou shalt save thy wife?[17] 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.[18] Was any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Hath any been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.[19] Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but the keeping of the commandments of God.[20] Let each man abide in that calling wherein he was called.[21] Wast thou called being a bondservant? care not for it: nay, 3 even if thou canst become free, use it rather.[22] For he that was called in the Lord being a bondservant, is the Lords freedman: likewise he that was called being free, is Christs bondservant.[23] Ye were bought with a price; become not bondservants of men.[24] Brethren, let each man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.[25] Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be trustworthy.[26] I think therefore that this is good by reason of the distress that is upon us, namely, that it is good for a man to 4 be as he is.[27] Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.[28] But shouldest thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Yet such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I would spare you.[29] But this I say, brethren, the time is 5 shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may be as though they had none;[30] and those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not;[31] and those that use the world, as not using it to the full: for the fashion of this world passeth away.[32] But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:[33] but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife, 6[34] and is divided. So also the woman that is unmarried and the virgin is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.[35] And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare 7 upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.[36] But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin 8 daughter, if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth not; let them marry.[37] But he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power as touching his own will, and hath determined this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin 9 daughter, shall do well.[38] So then both he that giveth his own virgin 10 daughter in marriage doeth well; and he that giveth her not in marriage shall do better.[39] A wife is bound for so long time as her husband liveth; but if the husband be dead, 11 she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.[40] But she is happier if she abide as she is, after my judgment: and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

On the Imperfection of the Geological Record On the Absence of Intermediate Varieties at the Present Day IN the sixth chapter I enumerated the chief objections which might be justly urged against the views maintained in this volume. Most of them have now been discussed. One, namely the distinctness of specific forms, and their not being blended together by innumerable transitional links, is a very obvious difficulty. I assigned reasons why such links do not commonly occur at the present day under the circumstances apparently most favourable for their presence, namely, on an extensive and continuous area with graduated physical conditions. I endeavoured to show, that the life of each species depends in a more important manner on the presence of other already defined organic forms, than on climate, and, therefore, that the really governing conditions of life do not graduate away quite insensibly like heat or moisture. I endeavoured, also, to show that intermediate varieties, from existing in lesser numbers than the forms which they connect, will generally be beaten out and exterminated during the course of further modification and improvement. The main cause, however, of innumerable intermediate links not now occurring everywhere throughout nature, depends on the very process of natural selection, through which new varieties continually take the places of and supplant their parent-forms. But just in proportion as this process of extermination has acted on an enormous scale, so must the number of intermediate varieties, which have formerly existed, be truly enormous. Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely-graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and serious objection which can be urged against the theory. The explanation lies, as I believe, in the extreme imperfection of the geological record. 1 In the first place, it should always be borne in mind what sort of intermediate forms must, on the theory, have formerly existed. I have found it difficult, when looking at any two species, to avoid picturing to myself forms directly intermediate between them. But this is a wholly false view; we should always look for forms intermediate between each species and a common but unknown progenitor; and the progenitor will generally have differed in some respects from all its modified descendants. To give a simple illustration: the fantail and pouter pigeons are both descended from the rock-pigeon; if we possessed all the intermediate varieties which have ever existed, we should have an extremely close series between both and the rock-pigeon; but we should have no varieties directly intermediate between the fantail and pouter; none, for instance, combining a tail somewhat expanded with a crop somewhat enlarged, the characteristic features of these two breeds. These two breeds, moreover, have become so much modified, that, if we had no historical or indirect evidence regarding their origin, it would not have been possible to have determined, from a mere comparison of their structure with that of the rock-pigeon, C. livia, whether they had descended from this species or from some allied form, such as C. nas. 2 So, with natural species, if we look to forms very distinct, for instance to the horse and tapir, we have no reason to suppose that links directly intermediate between them ever existed, but between each and an unknown common parent. The common parent will have had in its whole organisation much general resemblance to the tapir and to the horse; but in some points of structure may have differed considerably from both, even perhaps more than they differ from each other. Hence, in all such cases, we should be unable to recognise the parent-form of any two or more species, even if we closely compared the structure of the parent with that of its modified descendants, unless at the same time we had a nearly perfect chain of the intermediate links. 3 It is just possible by theory, that one of two living forms might have descended from the other; for instance, a horse from a tapir; and in this case direct intermediate links will have existed between them. But such a case would imply that one form had remained for a very long period unaltered, whilst its descendants had undergone a vast amount of change; and the principle of competition between organism and organism, between child and parent, will render this a very rare event; for in all cases the new and improved forms of life tend to supplant the old and unimproved forms. 4 By the theory of natural selection all living species have been connected with the parent-species of each genus, by differences not greater than we see between the natural and domestic varieties of the same species at the present day; and these parent-species, now generally extinct, have in their turn been similarly connected with more ancient forms; and so on backwards, always converging to the common ancestor of each great class. So that the number of intermediate and transitional links, between all living and extinct species, must have been inconceivably great. But assuredly, if this theory be true, such have lived upon the earth. 5 CONTENTS · BOOK CONTENTS · BIBLIOGRAPHIC RECORD PREVIOUSNEXT Search Amazon: Click here to shop the Bookstore.Welcome · Press
