1 Corinthians 7:36 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7
34 Il y a de même une différence entre la femme et la vierge: celle qui n’est pas mariée s’inquiète des choses du Seigneur, afin d’être sainte de corps et d’esprit; et celle qui est mariée s’inquiète des choses du monde, des moyens de plaire à son mari.
35 Je dis cela dans votre intérêt; ce n’est pas pour vous prendre au piège, c’est pour vous porter à ce qui est bienséant et propre à vous attacher au Seigneur sans distraction.
36 Si quelqu’un regarde comme déshonorant pour sa fille de dépasser l’âge nubile, et comme nécessaire de la marier, qu’il fasse ce qu’il veut, il ne pèche point; qu’on se marie.
37 Mais celui qui a pris une ferme résolution, sans contrainte et avec l’exercice de sa propre volonté, et qui a décidé en son cœur de garder sa fille vierge, celui-là fait bien.
38 Ainsi, celui qui marie sa fille fait bien, et celui qui ne la marie pas fait mieux.
