1 Corinthians 7:33 · American Standard Version

1 Corinthians 7:33 in context

  1. 31and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
  2. 32But 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;
  3. 33but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
  4. 34There 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.
  5. 35This 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.
