1 Corinthians 7:32-35

Thomson(i) 32 and I wish you to be free from anxious cares. He who is unmarried careth for the things of the Lord how he may please the Lord; 33 but he who is married careth for the things of the world, how he may please his wife. 34 There is the like difference between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she who is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 35 Now this I say for your own benefit, not with a view to lay a snare for you; but for that which is becoming and best adapted to a steady, uninterrupted adherence to the Lord.
