Bible in Basic English
If you are married to a wife, make no attempt to get free from her: if you are free from a wife, do not take a wife.
26Because of the present crisis, I think it is good for a man to remain as he is.
28But if you do marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
