1 Corinthians 7:32-40

32But I wishG2309 you to beG1510 without care. The unmarriedG22 cares for the things of the LordG2962, howG4459 he shall pleaseG700 the LordG2962; 33but he that has marriedG1060 cares for the things of the worldG2889, howG4459 he shall pleaseG700 his wifeG1135. 34There isG1510 a difference between the wifeG1135 and the virginG3933. The unmarriedG22 cares for the things of the LordG2962, that she may beG1510 holyG40 both in bodyG4983 and spiritG4151; but she that has marriedG1060 cares for the things of the worldG2889, howG4459 she shall pleaseG700 her husbandG435. 35But I sayG3004 this for your own profit; not that I may set a snare before you, but for what [is] seemly, and waiting on the LordG2962 without distraction. 36But if any oneG5100 thinkG3543 that he behaves unseemly to his virginity, if he beG1510 beyond the flower of his age, and so it must beG1510, let him do what he will, he does not sinG264: let them marryG1060. 37But he who standsG2476 firmG2476 in his heartG2588, having no need, but has authorityG1849 over his ownG2398 will, and has judgedG2919 this in his heartG2588 to keepG5083 his ownG2398 virginity, he does wellG2573. 38So that he that marries himself does wellG2573; and he that does not marry does better. 39A wifeG1135 isG1510 boundG1210 for whatever timeG5550 her husbandG435 lives; but if the husbandG435 beG1510 fallen asleepG2837, she isG1510 freeG1658 to beG1510 marriedG1060 to whom she will, onlyG3440 in [the] LordG2962. 40But she isG1510 happier if she soG3779 remainG3306, accordingG2596 to my judgmentG1106; but I thinkG1380 that I alsoG1161 have 1God's SpiritG4151.
