But I would have you without concern. He that is unmarried cares for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
Cast your burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain you: he shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
The hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep.
But he that is married cares for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusts in God, and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.
