Holy BibleKing James Version

1 Corinthians 7:33 KJV

But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

1 Corinthians 7:33, King James Version

In context

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:

33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

34 There 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.
