Which verse starts with “There is difference also between a wife and a virgin”?

• A. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord
• B. Blessed is the man that hath a virtuous wife
• C. There is difference also between a wife and a virgin
• D. The married woman careth for the things of the world

Answer: (C)

This item tests recognizing the exact opening line that introduces Paul's comparison between a wife and a virgin. The phrase in question is the start of 1 Corinthians 7:34, where Paul explains that the unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, aiming to be holy in body and spirit, while the married woman cares for the things of the world and how to please her husband. Because this line is literally the beginning of that verse and sets up the contrast being discussed, it is the best choice. The other statements reflect the same ideas about the differing concerns of unmarried and married women, but they do not begin with this specific opening phrase.
