46:007:024 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
46:007:025 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
46:007:026 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present
distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
46:007:027 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou
loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
46:007:028 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.
46:007:029 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
46:007:030 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;
46:007:031 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
46:007:032 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:
46:007:033 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
