Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let each [man] have his own wife, and let each [woman] have her own husband.

Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

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];

Therefore I consider this to be good because of the present distress, that [it is] good for a man to be as he is:

But I want you to be without anxiety. The unmarried man cares about the things of the Lord--[about] how he may please the Lord.

And the wife and the virgin are different. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But the woman having married cares about the things of the world--about how she may please her husband.
