| 1st-Corinthians 7:32 | But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife, is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please God. | But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord: |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:33 | But he that is with a wife, is solicitous for the things of the world, how he may please his wife: and he is divided. | but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife, |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:34 | And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit.

[So] also the woman that is unmarried and the virgin is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:35 | And this I speak for your profit: not to cast a snare upon you; but for that which is decent, and which may give you power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment. | And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:36 | But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured, with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will; he sinneth not, if she marry. | But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin [daughter], if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth not; let them marry. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:37 | For he that hath determined being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will; and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well. | But he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power as touching in his own heart, to keep his own virgin [daughter], shall do well. |
| 1st-Corinthians 7:38 | Therefore, both he that giveth his virgin in marriage, doth well; and he that giveth her not, doth better. | So then both he that giveth his own virgin [daughter] in marriage doeth well; and he that giveth her not in marriage shall do better. |
