⁸ I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.

²⁶ I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

²⁹ But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

¹⁹ And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

²⁹ For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
