1 Corinthians 7:33

Concerning The Unmarried

³² And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord; ³³ and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife. ³⁴ The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband.
