1 Corinthians 7:27-32

1. 27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

2. 28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

3. 29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

4. 30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

5. 31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

6. 32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
