1 Corinthians 7:28, 32-34, 38

1 Corinthians 7:28 NIRV

But if you do marry someone, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries someone, she has not sinned. But those who marry someone will have many troubles in this life. I want to save you from this.

1 Corinthians 7:32-34 NIRV

I don’t want you to have anything to worry about. A single man is concerned about the Lord’s matters. He wants to know how he can please the Lord. But a married man is concerned about the matters of this world. He wants to know how he can please his wife. His concerns pull him in two directions. A single woman or a virgin is concerned about the Lord’s matters. She wants to serve the Lord with both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the matters of this world. She wants to know how she can please her husband.

1 Corinthians 7:38 NIRV

So then, the man who marries the virgin does the right thing. But the man who doesn’t marry her does a better thing.
