1 Corinthians 7:32-40

32ButG1161 I would haveG1511G2309 youG5209 without careG275. He that is unmarriedG22 carethG3309 for the things that belong toG3588 the LordG2962, howG4459 he may pleaseG700 the LordG2962:1 33ButG1161 he that is marriedG1060 carethG3309 for the things that areG3588 of the worldG2889, howG4459 he may pleaseG700 his wifeG1135. 34There is a difference also betweenG3307 a wifeG1135 andG2532 a virginG3933. The unmarried womanG22 careth forG3309 the thingsG3588 of the LordG2962, thatG2443 she may beG5600 holyG40 bothG2532 in bodyG4983 andG2532 in spiritG4151: butG1161 she that is marriedG1060 carethG3309 for the thingsG3588 of the worldG2889, howG4459 she may pleaseG700 her husbandG435. 35AndG1161 thisG5124 I speakG3004 forG4314 yourG5216 ownG846 profitG4851; notG3756 thatG2443 I may castG1911 a snareG1029 upon youG5213, butG235 for that whichG4314 is seemlyG2158, andG2532 that ye may attend uponG2145 the LordG2962 without distractionG563.

36ButG1161 if any manG1536 thinkethG3543 that he behaveth himself unseemlyG807 towardG1909 hisG846 virginG3933, ifG1437 she hath passed the flower of her ageG5230G5600, andG2532 needG3784 soG3779 requirethG1096, let him doG4160 whatG3739 he willG2309, he sinnethG264 notG3756: let them marryG1060. 37NeverthelessG1161 heG3739 that standethG2476 steadfastG1476 inG1722 his heartG2588, havingG2192 noG3361 necessityG318, butG1161 hathG2192 powerG1849 overG4012 his ownG2398 willG2307, andG2532 hathG2919 soG5124 decreedG2919 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588 that he will keepG5083 hisG1438 virginG3933, doethG4160 wellG2573. 38SoG5620 thenG2532 he that giveth her in marriageG1547 doethG4160 wellG2573; butG1161 he that giveth her notG3361 in marriageG1547 doethG4160 betterG2908.

39The wifeG1135 is boundG1210 by the lawG3551G1909 as longG5550 asG3745 herG846 husbandG435 livethG2198; butG1161 ifG1437 herG846 husbandG435 is deadG2837, she isG2076 at libertyG1658 to be marriedG1060 to whomG3739 she willG2309; onlyG3440 inG1722 the LordG2962. 40ButG1161 she isG2076 happierG3107 ifG1437 sheG3306 soG3779 remainG3306, afterG2596 myG1699 judgmentG1106: andG1161 I thinkG1380 alsoG2504 that I haveG2192 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316.
