    32 And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;

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

    34 The 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.

    35 And 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,

    36 and 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.

    37 And 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;

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

    39 A 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;

    1 Are ye ignorant, brethren -- for to those knowing law I speak -- that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth?

    2 for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband;

    3 so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man's; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man's.

    4 So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;

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

    7 for 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.

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

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

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

    11 but 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.

    12 And 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;

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

    14 for 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.

    15 And, 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;

    16 for 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?

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

    28 But 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.
