ALL THINGS ARE NEW
We now, with the help of the Holy Spirit, should desire those things that are good and holy. And now we should hate those things that are wicked and sinful. Wickedness never turns into holiness. If before I was born again, I robbed a bank, or kidnapped a child, or took someone's land by fraud, or married a woman whose husband was not dead, do I keep these things now? No! Sin is sin and must be set right. Return things back to the rightful owners. "All things are new" does NOT mean that which was adultery (sin) is now become that which is holy (marriage). BE ye reconciled, walk no longer in sin, live no longer for self, but unto CHRIST who died for you. 2Corinthians.5: 15,17,20 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
(17) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (20) Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us, we pray you in Christ's stead, be reconciled to God.
(1Corinthians 7: 3-5, 8-11, 17-24, 27, 28, 33-35, 39) Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 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. 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 incontinency. (8) I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband Put away his wife. (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. Is any man called circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. Art thou called being a servant? Care not for it: but if thou may be made free, use it rather. 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. (24) Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. (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. (33) But he that is married cares for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. (34) There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married cares 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. (39) The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
