Goodspeed(i)
32 I want you to be free from all anxiety. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's work, and how he can please the Lord.
33 A married man is concerned about worldly affairs, and how he can please his wife, and so his interests are divided.
34 An unmarried woman or a girl is concerned about the Lord's work, so as to be consecrated in body and spirit, but the woman who marries is concerned with worldly affairs, and how she can please her husband.
35 It is for your benefit that I say this, not to put a halter on you, but to promote good order, and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.
36 But if a man thinks he is not acting properly toward the girl to whom he is engaged, if his passions are too strong, and that is what ought to be done, let him do as he pleases; it is no sin; let them be married.
37 But a man who has definitely made up his mind, under no constraint of passion but with full self-control, and who has decided in his own mind to keep her as she is, will be doing what is right.
38 So the man who marries her does what is right, and the man who refrains from doing so does even better.
39 A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. If her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she pleases so long as he is a Christian.
40 But she will be happier, in my judgment, if she remains as she is, and I think I have God's spirit as well as other people.
