Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And so I direct in all the churches. Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you released from a wife? Do not seek a wife. But if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you.
