6 Now ^las a concession, not a command, I say this.¹ 7 ^mI wish that all were ⁿas I myself am. But ^oeach has his own gift from God, ^pone of one kind and one of another.

32 I want you to be free from anxieties. The ^gunmarried man is ^hanxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. 33 But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, 34 and his interests are divided. And the unmarried or ⁱbetrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be ^jholy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband. 35 I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.
