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:

Delight thyself also in the LORD ; And he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

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:

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
