1 Corinthians 7:34

Compare all

32 But I want you to be without¹ care. ^aHe who is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord—how he may please the Lord.

33 But he who is married cares about the things of the world—how he may please his wife.

34 There is a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman ^acares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.

35 And this I say for your own profit, not that I may put a leash on you, but for what is proper, and that you may serve the Lord without distraction.

36 But if any man thinks he is behaving improperly toward his¹ virgin, if she is past the flower of youth, and thus it must be, let him do what he wishes. He does not sin; let them marry.
