1 Corinthians 7:32-35

32But I wantG2309 you to be freeG275 fromG275 concernG275. One who is 1unmarriedG22 is concernedG3309 aboutG3309 the things of the LordG2962, howG4459 he may pleaseG700 the LordG2962; 33but one who is marriedG1060 is concernedG3309 aboutG3309 the things of the worldG2889, howG4459 he may pleaseG700 his wifeG1135, 34and his interests are dividedG3307. The womanG1135 who is unmarriedG22, and the virginG3933, is concernedG3309 aboutG3309 the things of the LordG2962, that she may be holyG40 bothG2532 in bodyG4983 and spiritG4151; but one who is marriedG1060 is concernedG3309 aboutG3309 the things of the worldG2889, howG4459 she may pleaseG700 her husbandG435. 35I sayG3004 thisG3778 for your ownG846 benefitG4851, not to putG1911 a restraintG1029 onG1911 you, but 2to promoteG4314 whatG3588 is appropriateG2158 and to secure undistractedG563 devotionG2138 to the LordG2962.
