1 Corinthians 7:25
Now about virgins I have no orders from the Lord: but I give my opinion as one to whom the Lord has given mercy to be true to him.
1 Corinthians 7:26

If you are married to a wife, make no attempt to get free from her: if you are free from a wife, do not take a wife.
1 Corinthians 7:28
If you get married it is not a sin; and if an unmarried woman gets married it is not a sin. But those who do so will have trouble in the flesh. But I will not be hard on you.
1 Corinthians 7:32
But it is my desire for you to be free from cares. The unmarried man gives his mind to the things of the Lord, how he may give pleasure to the Lord:
1 Corinthians 7:33
But the married man gives his attention to the things of this world, how he may give pleasure to his wife.
1 Corinthians 7:34
And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.
1 Corinthians 7:35
Now I say this for your profit; not to make things hard for you, but because of what is right, and so that you may be able to give all your attention to the things of the Lord.

But if, in any man's opinion, he is not doing what is right for his virgin, if she is past her best years, and there is need for it, let him do what seems right to him; it is no sin; let them be married.
1 Corinthians 7:37
But the man who is strong in mind and purpose, who is not forced but has control over his desires, does well if he comes to the decision to keep her a virgin.
1 Corinthians 7:38
So then, he who gets married to his virgin does well, and he who keeps her unmarried does better.
1 Corinthians 7:40
But it will be better for her to keep as she is, in my opinion: and it seems to me that I have the Spirit of God.
