'He that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife... but he that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord and how to please the Lord,' says the Apostle Paul; and Karenin, who was now guided in all his actions by the Scriptures, often recalled that text.
"Женатый заботится о мирском, как угодить жене, неженатый заботится о господнем, как угодить господу", -- говорит апостол Павел, и Алексей Александрович, во всех делах руководившийся теперь писанием, часто вспоминал этот текст.
