LITV(i)
25 But about virgins, I have no command of the Lord. But I give judgment, as having received mercy by the Lord to be faithful.
26 Then I think this to be good, because of the present necessity: that it is good for a man to be thus.
27 Have you been bound to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Have you been released from a wife? Do not seek a wife.
28 But if you also marry, you do not sin. And if the virgin marries, she does not sin. But such will have trouble in the flesh. But I am sparing you.
29 But I say this, brothers, that the time has been cut short. For the rest is, that even the ones having wives should be as not having,
30 and those weeping as not weeping, and those rejoicing as not rejoicing, and those buying as not possessing,
31 and those using this world as not abusing it; for the mode of this world is passing away.
32 But I desire you to be without care. The unmarried one cares for the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord;
33 but the one marrying cares for the things of the world, how to please the wife.
34 The wife and the virgin are different. The unmarried one cares for the things of the Lord, that she be holy in both body and spirit. But the married one cares for the things of the world, how to please the husband.
