1 Corinthians · chapter 7 · verse 32
But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:1 Corinthians 7:32 · King James Version
1 Corinthians 7:32 in context
30And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
31And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
32But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
33But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
34There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
