Nowe concerning virgins, I haue no commaundement of the Lord: yet I giue my iudgement as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithfull.

I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distresse, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

Art thou bound vnto a wife? seeke not to bee loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seeke not a wife.

But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned, and if a virgin marry, shee hath not sinned: neuerthelesse, such shall haue trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

But this I say, brethren, the time is short. It remaineth, that both they that haue wiues, be as though they had none:

And they that weepe, as though they wept not: and they that reioyce, as though they reioyced not: and they that buy, as though they possessed not:

And they that vse this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
