1 Corinthians 7:32-38

Lamsa(i) 32 Therefore I would that you were free from worldly cares. For he who is unmarried, is concerned in the things of his master, so as to please his master. 33 And he who is married is concerned with worldly things, in order to please his wife. 34 So there is a difference between a married woman and a virgin. She who is unmarried is concerned about the welfare of her father, and to be pure both in body and in spirit; but she who is married is concerned with worldly things, in order to please her husband. 35 I am saying this for your own benefit; I am not trying to snare or put a yoke on you, but I exhort you to be perfect before the LORD, and faithful without distraction. 36 If any man thinks that he is shamed by the behavior of his virgin daughter, because she has passed the marriage age, and he has not given her in marriage, and that he should give her, let him give her in marriage and he does not sin. Let her be married. 37 Nevertheless, he who has sincerely decided, and who is not forced by circumstances, but has determined and decreed in his heart to keep his virgin daughter single, he does well. 38 So then he who gives his virgin daughter in marriage does well; and he who does not give his virgin daughter in marriage does even better.
