ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૭:૩૫
પણ હું તમારા પોતાના હિતને માટે તે કહું છું; કે જેથી તમે સંકટમાં આવી પાડો નહિ, પણ એ માટે કહું છું કે તમે યોગ્ય રીતે ચાલો તથા એક મનના અને એક ચિત્તના થઈને પ્રભુની સેવા કરો.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों ७:३५
यह बात तुम्हारे ही लाभ के लिये कहता हूँ, न कि तुम्हें फँसाने के लिये, वरन् इसलिए कि जैसा उचित है; ताकि तुम एक चित्त होकर प्रभु की सेवा में लगे रहो।

In context

33but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

34There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.

35This I say for your own benefit, not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.

36But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn’t sin. Let them marry.

37But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.
