EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁶ I hold, therefore, this to be good because of the present distress, that it is good for a man to be thus: ²⁷ Art thou bound unto a wife? Seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? Seek not a wife. ²⁸ But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have affliction in the flesh, but I forbear you.
