Bible verses about "nuns" | Rotherham

1 Corinthians 7:32-35

32 And I desire you to be, without anxiety:––the unmarried man, is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; 33 But, he that hath married, is anxious for the things of the world, how may please his wife–– 34 And he is divided; and, the unmarried woman, or the virgin, is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy [both] in her body and in her spirit; but, she that hath married, is anxious for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 35 This, however, with a view to your own profit, am I saying,––not that, a snare, upon you, I may cast, but with a view to what is comely, and devoted unto the Lord, without distraction.
