1 Corinthians 7:26-28

Revised Standard Version

²⁶ I think that in view of the present^[a] distress it is well for a person to remain as he is. ²⁷ Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek marriage. ²⁸ But if you marry, you do not sin, and if a girl^[b] marries she does not sin. Yet those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that.
