1 Corinthians 7:35 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7

33 Empero el que se casó tiene cuidado de las cosas que son del mundo, cómo ha de agradar á su mujer.

34 Hay asimismo diferencia entre la casada y la doncella: la doncella tiene cuidado de las cosas del Señor, para ser santa así en el cuerpo como en el espíritu: mas la casada tiene cuidado de las cosas del mundo, cómo ha de agradar á su marido.

35 Esto empero digo para vuestro provecho; no para echaros lazo, sino para lo honesto y decente, y para que sin impedimento os lleguéis al Señor.

36 Mas, si á alguno parece cosa fea en su [hija] virgen, que pase ya de edad, y que así conviene que se haga, haga lo que quisiere, no peca; cásese.

37 Pero el que está firme en su corazón, y no tiene necesidad, sino que tiene libertad de su voluntad, y determinó en su corazón esto, el guardar su [hija] virgen, bien hace.
