^{32 Ref} But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

^{33 Ref} but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

^{34 Ref} There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world--how she may please her husband.

^{35 Ref} This I say for your own profit; not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.

^{32 Ref} But it is my desire for you to be free from cares. The unmarried man gives his mind to the things of the Lord, how he may give pleasure to the Lord:

^{33 Ref} But the married man gives his attention to the things of this world, how he may give pleasure to his wife.

^{34 Ref} And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.

^{35 Ref} Now I say this for your profit; not to make things hard for you, but because of what is right, and so that you may be able to give all your attention to the things of the Lord.

^{32 Ref} But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

^{33 Ref} but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife,

^{34 Ref} and is divided. `So' also the woman that is unmarried and the virgin is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

^{35 Ref} And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
