1 Corinthians 7:34

Easy To Read Version

He must think about two things—\{pleasing his wife and pleasing the Lord\}. A woman who is not married or a girl who has never married is busy with the Lord’s work. She wants to give herself fully—body and soul—to the Lord. But a married woman is busy with things of the world. She is trying to please her husband.
