1 Corinthians 7

³¹ and those who use the things of this world, as if not dependent on them. For this world in its present form is passing away.

³² I want you to be free from concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord.

³³ But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife,

³⁴ and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.

³⁵ I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but in order to promote proper decorum and undivided devotion to the Lord.
