Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.

World English Bible (WEB)

There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.

King James Version (KJV)

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.

American Standard Version (ASV)

and is divided. [So] also the woman that is unmarried and the virgin is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband.

Reina-Valera 1909 (RVR 1909)

Hay asimismo diferencia entre la casada y la doncella: la doncella tiene cuidado de las cosas del Señor, para ser santa así en el cuerpo como en el espíritu: mas la casada tiene cuidado de las cosas del mundo, cómo ha de agradar á su marido.

Sagradas Escrituras 1569 (SE 1569)

Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)

Sus intereses están divididos. Y lo mismo le pasa a la que se casa. La soltera está siempre ansiosa de agradar al Señor y se consagra a él en cuerpo y espíritu; pero la casada tiene que ocuparse de sus responsabilidades terrenas y de cómo agradar a su esposo.
