1 Corinthians 7:27

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek marriage.

See the chapter Copy

Every one should remain in the state in which he was called.

I think that in view of the present distress it is well for a person to remain as he is.

But if you marry, you do not sin, and if a girl marries she does not sin. Yet those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that.
