1 Corinthians 7:32-36

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

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

³⁴and 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.

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

³⁶However, if someone thinks he is acting inappropriately toward his betrothed, and if she is beyond her youth and they ought to marry, let him do as he wishes; he is not sinning; they should get married.
