24 Que chacun, frères, demeure devant Dieu dans l’état où il était lorsqu’il a été appelé.

25 Pour ce qui est des vierges, je n’ai point d’ordre du Seigneur; mais je donne un avis, comme ayant reçu du Seigneur miséricorde pour être fidèle.

26 Voici donc ce que j’estime bon, à cause des temps difficiles qui s’approchent: il est bon à un homme d’être ainsi.

27 Es-tu lié à une femme, ne cherche pas à rompre ce lien; n’es-tu pas lié à une femme, ne cherche pas une femme.

28 Si tu t’es marié, tu n’as point péché; et si la vierge s’est mariée, elle n’a point péché; mais ces personnes auront des tribulations dans la chair, et je voudrais vous les épargner.
