1 Corinthians 7:28, 32-34, 38

1 Corinthians 7:28 FBV

If you do get married, you haven't sinned. If an unmarried woman gets married, she hasn't sinned. But you will have many troubles in this current world and I would want to spare you these.

1 Corinthians 7:32-34 FBV

I would prefer you to be free from such worries. A man who is not married pays attention to what is important to the Lord, and how he can please the Lord. But a man who is married pays attention to what is important in this world, and how he can please his wife. As a result his loyalties are divided. Similarly an unmarried woman or girl pays attention to what is important to the Lord, so she may live a life dedicated both in body and spirit. But a married woman pays attention to what is important in this world, and how she can please her husband.

1 Corinthians 7:38 FBV

So the man who marries the woman he's engaged to does well, while the one who does not get married does better.
