God bless!

1 Corinthians 7

  24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
  25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my
judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
  26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say,
that it is good for a man so to be.
  27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a
wife? seek not a wife.
  28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she
hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare
you.
  29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they
that have wives be as though they had none;
  30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as
though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
  31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this
world passeth away.
  32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for
the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
  33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he
may please his wife.
  34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman
careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in
spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may
please her husband.
  35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon
you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without
distraction.

Matthew 15

  12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the
Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
  13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not
planted, shall be rooted up.
  14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead
the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
  15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
  16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
  17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth
into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
  18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart;
and they defile the man.
  19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
  20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands
defileth not a man.
  21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
