⸀καὶ μεμέρισται. καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ⸂ἡ ἄγαμος⸃ καὶ ἡ ⸀παρθένος μεριμνᾷ τὰ τοῦ κυρίου, ἵνα ᾖ ἁγία καὶ ⸀τῷ σώματι καὶ ⸁τῷ πνεύματι· ἡ δὲ γαμήσασα μεριμνᾷ τὰ τοῦ κόσμου, πῶς ⸀ἀρέσῃ τῷ ἀνδρί.

And they are divided. The unmarried woman and the virgin concerns herself with the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in both body and spirit; but she who is married concerns herself with the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
