1 Corinthians 7 English Standard Version (ESV)

Principles for Marriage

1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 
(Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.”)

² Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

(But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. [ESV])

³ Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

(The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband.[ESV])

⁴ The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

( For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.[ESV])

⁵ Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your in continency.

(Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.[ESV])

⁶ But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

⁷ For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

⁸ I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.

(To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single as I am.[ESV])

⁹ But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

(But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.[ESV])

¹⁰ And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

¹¹ But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

¹² But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

¹³ And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

¹⁵ But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

¹⁶ For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

Live as You Are Called

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.

¹⁸ Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any 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 every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

²¹ Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

²² For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.

²³ Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

²⁴ Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

The Unmarried and the Widowed

²⁵ Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

²⁶ I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

²⁷ Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

²⁸ But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

²⁹ But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

³⁰ And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

³¹ And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

³² But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

³³ But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

³⁴ There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

³⁵ And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

³⁶ But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

³⁷ Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

³⁸ So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.

³⁹ The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

⁴⁰ But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.

He is not greater in this house than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me except yourself, because you are his wife.

Wat zegt de Bijbel over sex?

Is het zo dat een christen niet mag mastruberen?
en sex voor het huwelijk?

De Bijbel geeft hier duidelijk antwoord op.

Geen seks voor het huwelijk. Dit kan je lezen in Genesis 2:24 'Daarom zal de man zijn vader en zijn moeder verlaten, en zijn vrouw aankleven; en zij zullen tot één vlees zijn.' Dus éérst verlaat je je vader en moeder, dan trouw je (je vrouw) en dan zal je één zijn (seks hebben). Mastruberen valt onder zelfgenot. God heeft had de vrouw aan de man gegeven omdat het niet goed was dat de mens alleen was. Hij (God) gaf Eva (toen nog: Manninne) aan Adam als hulp. Niet als meesteres, niet als slavin. Zelfgenot is onbijbels. Seks is een prachtig iets, een bloem uit het paradijs. Maar het wordt in de huidige maatschappij enorm misbruikt.

Sex is voorbehouden aan het huwelijk. Degene met wie je gemeenschap hebt, daarmee ben je voor God getrouwd. Anderen (zoals ik) bekijken dit meer in de tijdgeest, en springen er makkelijker mee om, maar over het algemeen geldt wel: Een christelijke jongere denkt er in ieder geval goed over na, voor hij/zij met een ander het bed induikt.

Het Griekse woord por·nei′a, dat met „hoererij” is vertaald, heeft een behoorlijk ruime betekenis. Het heeft betrekking op seksuele relaties tussen personen die niet met elkaar getrouwd zijn en slaat vooral op het verkeerde gebruik van de geslachtsorganen.

Por·nei′a omvat daden als orale seks, anale seks en iemand anders masturberen — dingen die meestal worden geassocieerd met bordelen. Mensen die denken dat zulke daden geen „hoererij” zijn, houden zichzelf voor de gek (2 Timotheüs 2:26). Bovendien komt bij het bewaren van eerbaarheid meer kijken dan ons onthouden van daden die onder hoererij vallen. Om ’de hoererij te ontvlieden’, moeten we alle vormen van seksuele onreinheid en losbandig gedrag vermijden die tot de grove zonde por·nei′a zouden kunnen leiden (Efeziërs 4:19). Op die manier bewaren we onze eerbaarheid.

Een ander woord voor masturberen is onaneren. Dit komt van de naam Onan. Dat is een man die voorkomt in een bijbelverhaal. In dit verhaal laat hij zijn zaad op de grond lopen. Dit wordt door de bijbel veroordeeld. In het boek Genesis staat het verhaal over Onan: "Als een man overleden was, moest naar toenmalig joods gebruik zijn broer een kind verwekken bij diens weduwe, zijn schoonzus, als die kinderloos was. Dit heet het zwagerhuwelijk of leviraat. De oudste zoon van Juda, Er genaamd, werd door God gedood omdat hij slecht was in de ogen van God. Nu moest zijn jongere broer, Onan genaamd, trouwen met diens weduwe, Tamar. Onan echter maakte misbruik van de situatie: hij had wel geslachtsgemeenschap met Tamar, maar trok zich voor de zaadlozing terug en omdat Onan wist dat zo’n kind niet als zijn nageslacht zou gelden, liet hij telkens als hij met de vrouw van zijn broer gemeenschap had zijn zaad op de grond terechtkomen, zodat hij geen nakomelingen voor zijn broer zou verwekken." Een ander bijbelboek over masturberen is Leviticus. Leviticus 15:16 legt uit hoe men na een zaadlozing moet handelen; onrein zijn (dus geen heilige diensten mogen verrichten, tot de avond. De avond duidt in bijbelse context de volgende dag aan), het gehele lichaam baden en alles waarop de zaaduitstorting terecht is gekomen reinigen.

Een Christen mag idd niet masturberen. Sex voor het huwelijk mag ook niet en tijdens het huwelijk mag het alleen als er een nieuw volgelingetje van het Christelijke Geloof gebakken moet worden. Maar niet zomaar voor het lekker.

Wat zegt de Bijbel over Seks?

Seks, een lastig onderwerp voor vele christenen maar tegenwoordig hier in Nederland geen taboe meer. In het hedendaagse leven word seks gebruikt in alle zaken die we als normaal beschouwen; muziek, films, tijdschriften, radio etc. Het is een onderwerp dat ook buiten het christendom steeds meer bespreekbaar wordt.

Dit is allemaal met een goede reden. Het is namelijk belangrijk om al in een zo vroeg mogelijke stadium te weten wat seks inhoud, of sterker nog; wat goed of slecht is. Het niet bezitten over inhoudelijke kennis over seks (zowel jong als oud) is hetzelfde als jezelf niet beschermen tegen het kwade van buitenaf.

 

Seks als bescherming

Het in opspraak komen van de kerk i.v.m. ontucht van priesters bewijst dat kinderen toelichting nodig hebben over dit onderwerp. Als kinderen weten dat seks op jonge leeftijd slecht is, dan kunnen zij zichzelf beschermen. Bescherming geldt ook voor jongeren die terechtkomen in een levensstadia waar zij niet meer om zaken heen kunnen als seks, drugs en alcohol.

Voorlichting is daarom belangrijk en heeft prioriteit nodig. Alleen zo weten zij wat de gevaren en gevolgen zijn van verkeerd gebruik of zelfs misbruik.

Seks is goed!

De bijbel keurt seks goed. God heeft namelijk niet voor niets twee mensen geschapen die de liefde met elkaar kunnen bedrijven. De mens is geschapen om voort te planten. Het is daarom in het hedendaagse leven niet meer denkbaar om hier niet over te praten.

“En God schiep de mens naar Zijn beeld; naar het beeld van God schiep Hij hem; mannelijk en vrouwelijk schiep Hij hen. En God zegende hen en God zei tegen hen: Wees vruchtbaar, word talrijk, vervul de aarde en onderwerp haar, en heers over de vissen van de zee, over de vogels in de lucht en over al de dieren die over de aarde kruipen!” – Genesis 1: 27-28

Behandel seks met respect

Het feit dat seks wordt goed gekeurd door de bijbel, geeft aan dat we hier respectvol mee om moeten gaan. Om ons heen is seks een gemeengoed geworden. De mate van respect is afgenomen en door invloeden van o.a. de media blijkt het normaal om hier al vroeg mee te beginnen.

Seks voor het huwelijk wordt veroordeeld in het christendom. Echter moeten we onze ogen niet sluiten voor het feit dat er genoeg christen koppels zijn die al geslachtsgemeenschap hebben al voor dat zij getrouwd zijn.

Mocht jij tot deze groep behoren? Besef dan dat je je maagdelijkheid niet opnieuw kunt krijgen maar wel vergiffenis voor deze zonde kunt vragen. God vergeeft zondes, maar waar hij niet van houdt is als iemand bewust een zonde opnieuw begaat.

Weersta de verleiding

Heb je problemen met het weerstaan van de verleiding om seks te hebben? Dat is normaal en ieder menselijk wezen heeft deze gevoelens.

Als christen ben je iedere dag bezig om verleidingen te weerstaan. Het weerstaan van een verleiding is daarom ook geen zonde maar wél als je jezelf toegeeft aan een zonde.

“Meer dan een menselijke verzoeking is u niet overkomen. En God is getrouw: Hij zal niet toelaten dat u verzocht wordt boven wat u aankunt, maar Hij zal met de verzoeking ook de uitkomst geven om die te kunnen doorstaan” – 1 Korintiërs 10:13

Het kan heel moeilijk zijn om de verleiding te weerstaan. Zeker als je al een keer seks hebt gehad of zielsveel van je partner houdt. Alleen door de kracht van God te gebruiken lukt het jouw (of jullie) om hier niet aan toe te geven.
