1 Corinthians 7:32-40

  32 G1161 But G2309 I desire to have G5209 you G275 to be free from cares. G3588 He G1511 who is G22 unmarried G3309 is concerned for G3588 the things G2962 of the Lord, G4459 how G700 he may please G2962 the Lord;

  33 G1161 but G3588 he G1060 who is married G3309 is concerned about G3588 the things G2889 of the world, G4459 how G700 he may please G1135 his wife.

  34 G3307 There is also a difference G3307 between G1135 a wife G2532 and G3933 a virgin. G22 The unmarried G3588 woman cares about the things G2962 of the Lord, G2443 that G5600 she may be G40 holy G2532 both G4983 in body G2532 and G4151 in spirit. G1161 But G3588 she G1060 who is married G3588 cares about the things G2889 of the world — G4459 how G700 she may please G435 her husband.

  35 G1161   G5124 This G3004 I say G4314 for G5216 your G846 own G4851 profit; G3756 not G2443 that G1911 I may G1029 ensnare G5213 you, G235 but G4314 for G2158 that which is appropriate, G2532 and G2145 that you may attend to G2962 the Lord G563 without distraction.

  36 G1161 But G1487 if G5100 any man G3543 thinks G3739 that G846 he G807 is behaving G807 inappropriately G1909 toward G3933 his virgin, G1437 if G5600 she is past G5230 the flower of G5230 her age, G2532 and G3784 if need G3779 so G1096 requires, G4160 let him do G2309 what he desires. G3756 He doesn't G264 sin. G1060 Let them marry.

  37 G1161 But G3739 he who G2476 stands G1476 steadfast G1722 in G2588 his heart, G2192 having G3361 no G318 necessity, G1161 but G2192 has G1849 power G4012 over G1438 his G2398 own G2307 heart, G5083 to keep G846 his G3933 own virgin, G4160 does G2476 well.

  38 G5620 So G2532 then G3588 both he G1547 who gives G1547 his own virgin in marriage G4160 does G2573 well, G1161 and G3588 he G3361 who doesn't G1547 give G1547 her in marriage G4160 does G2908 better.

  39 G1135 A wife G1210 is bound G3551 by law G1909 for as G5550 long G3745 as G846 her G435 husband G2198 lives; G1161 but G1437 if G846 the G435 husband G2837 is dead, G2076 she is G1658 free G1060 to be married to G3739 whomever G2309 she desires, G3440 only G1722 in G2962 the Lord.

  40 G1161 But G2076 she is G3107 happier G1437 if G3306 she G3306 stays G3779 as G2596 she is, in G1699 my G1106 judgment, G1161 and G2504 I G1380 think G2504 that I also G2192 have G2316 God's G4151 Spirit.
