1 Corinthians 7:2,8,9,32-36
(1 Corinthians 7:2,8,9,32-36)
  • 1 Corinthians 7:2
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 2 but because of the prevalence of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife+ and each woman have her own husband.+

  • 1 Corinthians 7:8, 9
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 8 Now I say to those who are unmarried and to the widows that it is better for them if they remain as I am.+ 9 But if they do not have self-control, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to be inflamed with passion.+

  • 1 Corinthians 7:32-36
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 32 Indeed, I want you to be free from anxiety. The unmarried man is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he may gain the Lord’s approval. 33 But the married man is anxious for the things of the world,+ how he may gain the approval of his wife, 34 and he is divided. Further, the unmarried woman, as well as the virgin, is anxious for the things of the Lord,+ that she may be holy both in her body and in her spirit. However, the married woman is anxious for the things of the world, how she may gain the approval of her husband. 35 But I am saying this for your personal advantage, not to restrict you, but to move you to what is appropriate and to constant devotion to the Lord without distraction.

      36 But if anyone thinks he is behaving improperly by remaining unmarried, and if he is past the bloom of youth, then this is what should take place: Let him do what he wants; he does not sin.+ Let them marry.+
