1 Corinthians 7:25-27

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁵ Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I give counsel, as having obtained mercy of the Lord, to be faithful.

²⁶ I think therefore that this is good for the present necessity, that it is good for a man so to be.

²⁷ Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
