1 Corinthians 7:32-40

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.

36But ifG1487 anyoneG5100 thinksG3543 that he is actingG807 dishonorablyG807 towardG1909 his virginG3933, ifG1437 she is 3pastG5230 her youthG5230 and it oughtG3784 to be soG3779, let him doG4160 whatG3739 he wishesG2309, he is not sinningG264; let 4them marryG1060. 37But the one whoG3739 standsG2476 firmG1476 in his heartG2588, 5if he isG2192 not underG2192 constraintG318, but hasG2192 authorityG1849 6overG4012 his ownG2398 willG2307, and has decidedG2919 thisG3778 in his ownG2398 heartG2588, to keepG5083 his ownG1438 virginG3933, he will doG4160 wellG2573. 38SoG5620 thenG5620, bothG2532 the one who givesG1061 his ownG1438 virginG3933 inG1061 marriageG1061 doesG4160 wellG2573, and the one who does not giveG1061 her inG1061 marriageG1061 will doG4160 betterG2909.

397A wifeG1135 is boundG1210 as longG3745G5550 asG3745 her husbandG435 livesG2198; but ifG1437 her husbandG435 8diesG2837, she is freeG1658 to be marriedG1060 to whomG3739 she wishesG2309, onlyG3440 9in the LordG2962. 40But 10in my opinionG1106 she is 11happierG3107 ifG1437 she remainsG3306 as she is; and I thinkG1380 that I alsoG2532 haveG2192 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316.
