    32But 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:

    33But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

    34There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

    37Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

    38So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.
