His concerns pull him in two directions. A single woman or a virgin is concerned about the Lord’s matters. She wants to serve the Lord with both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the matters of this world. She wants to know how she can please her husband.

妇人和处女也有分别。没有出嫁的，是为主的事挂虑，要身体、灵魂都圣洁；已经出嫁的，是为世上的事挂虑，想怎样叫丈夫喜悦。

于是，他就分心了。没有结婚的和未婚的女子是为主的事挂虑，为要身体和心灵都圣洁；已经出嫁的是为世上的事挂虑，想怎样让丈夫喜悦。

婦與處女亦有別、無夫者慮主之事、欲身與靈皆聖、有夫者慮世之事、如何悅夫、

婦固與處子異、無夫者慮主之事、欲其體其神成聖、有夫者慮世之事、如何悅夫、

婦與童女有別、無夫者慮主之事、欲其身與神皆成聖、有夫者慮世之事、如何悅夫、

無夫者及處女、亦能專心事主、惟求神形之聖潔，有夫者則注意世故、兼欲取悅於夫矣。

But Martha was busy with all the things that had to be done. She came to Jesus and said,“ Lord, my sister has left me to do the work by myself. Don’t you care? Tell her to help me!”“ Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered.“ You are worried and upset about many things.But few things are needed. Really, only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better. And it will not be taken away from her.”

I completely expect and hope that I won’t be ashamed in any way. I’m sure I will be brave enough. Now as always Christ will receive glory because of what happens to me. He will receive glory whether I live or die.

There was also a prophet named Anna. She was the daughter of Penuel from the tribe of Asher. Anna was very old. After getting married, she lived with her husband seven years.Then she was a widow until she was 84. She never left the temple. She worshiped night and day, praying and going without food.

Brothers and sisters, God has shown you his mercy. So I am asking you to offer up your bodies to him while you are still alive. Your bodies are a holy sacrifice that is pleasing to God. When you offer your bodies to God, you are worshiping him in the right way.Don’t live the way this world lives. Let your way of thinking be completely changed. Then you will be able to test what God wants for you. And you will agree that what he wants is right. His plan is good and pleasing and perfect.

Besides everything else, every day I am concerned about all the churches. It is a very heavy load.

Christ has paid the price for you. So use your bodies in a way that honors God.

Look at what that godly sadness has produced in you. You are working hard to clear yourselves. You are angry and alarmed. You are longing to see me. You are concerned. You are ready to make sure that the right thing is done. In every way you have proved that you are not guilty in that matter.So even though I wrote to you, it wasn’t because of the one who did the wrong. It wasn’t because of the one who was hurt either. Instead, I wrote you so that in the sight of God you could see for yourselves how faithful you are to us.

God is the God who gives peace. May he make you holy through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept free from blame. May you be without blame from now until our Lord Jesus Christ comes.

You can trust this saying. These things are important. Treat them that way. Then those who trust in God will be careful to commit themselves to doing good. These things are excellent. They are for the good of everyone.

Suppose someone doesn’t know how to manage his own family. Then how can he take care of God’s church?

Don’t give any part of yourself to serve sin. Don’t let any part of yourself be used to do evil. Instead, give yourselves to God. You have been brought from death to life. So give every part of yourself to God to do what is right.

God put into the heart of Titus the same concern I have for you. Thanks should be given to God for this.
