Bible verses about "nuns" | Godbey

1 Corinthians 7:32-35

32 I wish you to be free from solicitude. The unmarried man cares for the things of the Lord, in order that he may please the Lord: 33 but the one having married cares for the things of the world, in order that he may please his wife. 34 A wife and a virgin truly also differ: the unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but she having married cares for the things of the world, that she may please her husband. 35 I speak this for the profit of you yourselves; not that I may cast a burden upon you, but for that which is pleasing and acceptable to the Lord without perturbation.
