    2 For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives; but if the husband is dead, she is released from the law of her husband.

    3 So then if, while her husband lives, she is married to another man, she will be called an adulteress: but if her husband is dead, she is free from that law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she is married to another man.

    4 Therefore, my brothers, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ; that you may be married to another, even to Him who is raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

    32 But I want you to be without care. He who is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord.

    33 But he who is married cares about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

    34 There is a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

    35 And this I say for your own benefit, not to put a restraint on you, but for what is proper, and that you may serve the Lord without distraction.

    36 But if any man thinks he is behaving improperly toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of youth, and thus it must be, let him do what he will. He does not sin; let them marry.

    27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
