    32I want you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord.

    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.

    25Now concerning virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who, by the Lord’s mercy, is trustworthy.

    26Because of the present distress, I think it is good for a person to remain as they are.

    27Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

    28But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.

    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.
