WPNT(i)
32 Now I want you to be without anxiety. He who is unmarried cares about the things of the Lord: how he will please the Lord.
33 While he who is married cares about the things of the world: how he will please his wife.
34 The wife and the virgin are also different. She who is unmarried cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit; while she who is married cares about the things of the world: how she will please her husband.
35 I am saying this for your own profit, not to put a leash on you, but for what is appropriate, and that you may serve the Lord without distraction.
36 Now if anyone thinks he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past her prime and thus it should be, let him do what he desires; he does not sin; let them marry.
37 But he who stands steadfast in his heart, not having necessity, but has control over his own will, and has determined in his heart to preserve his own virginity, does well.
38 So then, he who gives in marriage does well, but he who does not give in marriage does better.
39 A woman is bound by law for as long as her husband lives, but if the man should die, she is free to be married to whom she wishes—only in the Lord.
40 But she is more blessed if she remains as she is, according to my judgment—and I think I also have God’s Spirit.
