1 Corinthians 7:32 in context

  1. 30and those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not;
  2. 31and those that use the world, as not using it to the full: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
  3. 32But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
  4. 33but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife,
  5. 34and is divided. So also the woman that is unmarried and the virgin is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
