³² But I want you to be free from concern. One who is ^(A)unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord. ³³ But one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, ³⁴ and his interests have been divided. The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit. But one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband. ³⁵ Now this I say for your own benefit, not to put a restraint upon you, but ^[a]to promote propriety and undistracted devotion to the Lord.
