    33and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife.

    34The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband.

    35And this for your own profit I say: not that I may cast a noose upon you, but for the seemliness and devotedness to the Lord, undistractedly,

    36and if any one doth think `it' to be unseemly to his virgin, if she may be beyond the bloom of age, and it ought so to be, what he willeth let him do; he doth not sin -- let him marry.

    37And he who hath stood stedfast in the heart -- not having necessity -- and hath authority over his own will, and this he hath determined in his heart -- to keep his own virgin -- doth well;

    38so that both he who is giving in marriage doth well, and he who is not giving in marriage doth better.

    39A wife hath been bound by law as long time as her husband may live, and if her husband may sleep, she is free to be married to whom she will -- only in the Lord;

    40and she is happier if she may so remain -- according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God.

    24each, in that in which he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God.

    25And concerning the virgins, a command of the Lord I have not; and I give judgment as having obtained kindness from the Lord to be faithful:

    26I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the present necessity, that `it is' good for a man that the matter be thus: --

    27Hast thou been bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; hast thou been loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

    28But and if thou mayest marry, thou didst not sin; and if the virgin may marry, she did not sin; and such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I spare you.

    29And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having been shortened -- that both those having wives may be as not having;

    30and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing;

    31and those using this world, as not using `it' up; for passing away is the fashion of this world.

    1And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: good `it is' for a man not to touch a woman,

    2and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband;

    3to the wife let the husband the due benevolence render, and in like manner also the wife to the husband;

    4the wife over her own body hath not authority, but the husband; and, in like manner also, the husband over his own body hath not authority, but the wife.

    5Defraud not one another, except by consent for a time, that ye may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your incontinence;

    6and this I say by way of concurrence -- not of command,

    7for I wish all men to be even as I myself `am'; but each his own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and one thus.

    8And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I `am';

    9and if they have not continence -- let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;

    10and to the married I announce -- not I, but the Lord -- let not a wife separate from a husband:

    11but and if she may separate, let her remain unmarried, or to the husband let her be reconciled, and let not a husband send away a wife.

    12And to the rest I speak -- not the Lord -- if any brother hath a wife unbelieving, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not send her away;

    13and a woman who hath a husband unbelieving, and he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not send him away;

    14for the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified in the husband; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

    15And, if the unbelieving doth separate himself -- let him separate himself: the brother or the sister is not under servitude in such `cases', and in peace hath God called us;

    16for what, hast thou known, O wife, whether the husband thou shalt save? or what, hast thou known, O husband, whether the wife thou shalt save?

    17if not, as God did distribute to each, as the Lord hath called each -- so let him walk; and thus in all the assemblies do I direct:
