Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they should remain as I also [remain];

But even if you should marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin should marry, she has not sinned. But such will have trouble in the flesh, and I would spare you.

And this I say for your own profit, not that I may put a snare upon you, but for that which is proper, and that you may serve the Lord without distraction.

And there shall be no son born to you, nor daughter in this place.

They shall die a grievous death. They shall not be lamented [over], nor buried; they shall be for an example on the face of the earth; and they shall be for the wild beasts of the land, and for the birds of the sky. They shall fall by the sword, and shall be consumed with famine.

But woe to those [women] who are pregnant, and to the [women] nursing a baby in those days!

For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed [are] the barren, and [the] wombs which did not give birth, and breasts which did not nurse!'

For the time [has come] for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if [it begins] with us first, what will be the end of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?
