1 Corinthians 7:27
Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.
1 Corinthians 7:28

1 Corinthians 7:32
But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
1 Corinthians 7:34

But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.
1 Corinthians 7:38
So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does better.
1 Corinthians 7:39
A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 7:40
But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
