1 Corinthians, Chapter 7, verses 33-40

³³ but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, ³⁴ and his interests are divided. The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband. ³⁵ This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint upon you, but^r Lit for what is seemlyto promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord.
³⁶ But if any man thinks that he is acting unbecomingly toward his virgin daughter, if she is past her youth, and if it must be so, let him do what he wishes, he does not sin; let^s Lit themher marry. ³⁷ But he who stands firm in his heart,^t Lit having no necessitybeing under no constraint, but has authority^u Lit pertaining toover his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin daughter, he will do well. ³⁸ So then both he who gives his own virgin daughter in marriage does well, and he who does not give her in marriage will do better.
³⁹ A wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband^v Lit falls asleepis dead, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord. ⁴⁰ But in my opinion she is happier if she remains as she is; and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.	39 Rom 7:2 Co2 6:14 40 Co1 7:6 Co1 7:25
