1 Corinthians Chapter 7:33
But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
1 Corinthians Chapter 7:34
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.
1 Corinthians Chapter 7:35
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.

But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
1 Thessalonians Chapter 4:3
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
1 Thessalonians Chapter 4:4

1 Thessalonians Chapter 4:5
Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
