1 Corinthians 7:28, 32-34, 38

1 Corinthians 7:28 GNBDC

But if you do marry, you haven't committed a sin; and if an unmarried woman marries, she hasn't committed a sin. But I would rather spare you the everyday troubles that married people will have.

1 Corinthians 7:32-34 GNBDC

I would like you to be free from worry. An unmarried man concerns himself with the Lord's work, because he is trying to please the Lord. But a married man concerns himself with worldly matters, because he wants to please his wife; and so he is pulled in two directions. An unmarried woman or a virgin concerns herself with the Lord's work, because she wants to be dedicated both in body and spirit; but a married woman concerns herself with worldly matters, because she wants to please her husband.

1 Corinthians 7:38 GNBDC

So the man who marries does well, but the one who doesn't marry does even better.
