فأريد أن تكونوا بلا هم
غير المتزوج يهتم في ما للرب كيف يرضي الرب
وأما المتزوج فيهتم في ما للعالم كيف يرضي امرأته.
إن بين الزوجة والعذراء فرقا:
غير المتزوجة تهتم في ما للرب لتكون مقدسة جسدا وروحا.
وأما المتزوجة فتهتم في ما للعالم كيف ترضي رجلها.
1 كورنثوس 7: 32-34
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: But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. There 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.
1 Corinthians 7:32-34
