1 Corinthians 7:26-28
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
26 I think then that this[a] is good because of the present necessity[b], that it is good for a person to be so[c]. 27 Have you been bound[d] to a woman? Do not be seeking a release[e]. Have you been released[f] from a woman? Do not be seeking a wife. 28 But even if you marry, you did not sin. And if the virgin marries, she did not sin. But such ones will have affliction in the flesh, and I am sparing[g] you.
