1 Corinthians 7:36

Webster's Bible (1833)

But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn't sin. Let them marry.

    37But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own heart, to keep his own virgin, does well.

    39A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whoever she desires, only in the Lord.

    25Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.

    26I think that it is good therefore, because of the distress that is on us, that it is good for a man to be as he is.

    27Are you bound to a wife? Don't seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don't seek a wife.

    8But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.

    9But if they don't have self-control, let them marry. For it's better to marry than to burn.

    10But to the married I command--not I, but the Lord--that the wife not leave her husband

    11(but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.

    12But to the rest I--not the Lord--say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.

    13The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.

    14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now are they holy.

    15Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.

    32But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

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

    34There is also 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.

    35This I say for your own profit; not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
