1 Corinthians 7:34-36

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³⁴ and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord,^(A) so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the things of the world—how she may please her husband. ³⁵ Now I am saying this for your own benefit, not to put a restraint on you, but because of what is proper and so that you may be devoted to the Lord without distraction.

³⁶ But if any man thinks he is acting improperly toward his virgin,^[a] if she is past marriageable age,^[b] and so it must be, he can do what he wants. He is not sinning; they can get married.
