    10To the married I give this command—not I, but the Lord: A wife must not separate from her husband.

    11But if she does, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

    12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.

    13And if a woman has a husband who is an unbeliever and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.

    33But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife.

    34And his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs. Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband.

    35I am saying this for your benefit, not to restrict you, but so that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.

    36If anyone is worried that he might not be acting honorably toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if his passions are strong and he feels it must be so, let him do as he wants. He is not sinning; they should marry.
