Don’t seek divorce. <br>Are you unmarried? Don’t search spouse. <br>28 If you do marry, you haven’t sinned; <br>If virgin marries, she hasn’t sinned. <br>But those who marry, face troubles, <br>And I want you to escape this. <br>29 So what I mean is time is short. <br>From now onwards, those who have wives <br>Should live as if they didn’t have one. <br>30 And those who mourn, as if they didn’t; <br>And those happy, as if they weren’t; <br>And those who buy, as if it were not theirs; <br>31 And those who use the things of world, <br>As if they weren’t engrossed in them. <br>This world today is passing out. <br>32 Be free from concern anyway. <br>An unmarried man thinks of Lord's affairs—<br>How much more he can please the Lord. <br>33 A married man thinks of affairs of world—<br>How he can please his wife only— <br>34 His interests are divided. <br>An unmarried woman, virgin <br>Is concerned of the Lord's affairs: <br>She aims to devote to the Lord <br>In both her body and spirit. <br>A married woman is concerned <br>About the affairs of this world—<br>How she can please her husband then. <br>35 I’m saying this for your own good, <br>Not restrict you, but make you live <br>In total devotion to Lord. <br>36 If one thinks that he is acting <br>Improperly to the virgin, <br>He has been engaged to ahead, <br>And she is getting old in years, <br>And he feels that he must marry, <br>He should do as he wishes then. <br>He doesn’t sin. They should get married. <br>37 But man who has settled then well <br>The matter in his mind clearly, <br>And is under no compulsion <br>But has control over his will, <br>And who has made up in his mind <br>Not to marry the virgin still—<br>This man is doing the right thing. <br>38 So, he who marries the virgin does right, <br>But he who doesn’t marry, does ev’n better. <br>39 As long as he lives, a woman, <br>Is bound to her husband alone.<br>But if her husband dies, she’s free <br>To marry one, she wishes to, <br>But he must belong to the Lord. <br>40 She’s happier if she stays as she is—<br>And I do think I too have God’s Spirit.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>(7-12-2007)</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=John+Celes">John Celes</a><div class=q>
