1 Corinthians 7:33

But he who is married is concerned for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife,

Revised King James New Testament

In The King James Version

But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

In Context

32I would have you be without concern. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

34And his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman or the virgin cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she who is married cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
