1 Corinthians 7:36 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7

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.

38 Así que, el que la da en casamiento, bien hace; y el que no la da en casamiento, hace mejor.
