FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME — Year B

Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 7:32-35

A reading from the first letter of Paul to the Corinthians.

I would like you to be free of all worries.  Unmarried people are busy with God’s affairs, concerned with pleasing God; but married people are busy with this world’s demands, and occupied with pleasing their spouses. This means they are divided.  I am going into this with you for your own good.  I have no desire to place restrictions on you, but I do want to promote what is good, what will help you to devote yourselves entirely to God.

The Word of God recorded in the first letter of Paul to the Corinthians.
