1 Corinthians 7:32 Context
30And they that weepe, as though they wept not: and they that reioyce, as though they reioyced not: and they that buy, as though they possessed not: 31And they that vse this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away. 32But I would haue you without carefulnesse. He that is vnmarried, careth for the things that belōgeth to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: 33But hee that is maried, 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 vnmaried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that shee may be holy, both in body and in spirit: but she that is married, careth for the things of the worlde, how shee may please her husband.
