Now concerning virgins I have no command of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who by the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy.I think then that this is good in view of the present distress, that it is good for a man to remain as he is.Are you bound to a wife?

Yet such will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you.”

1 Cor.

7. 29-31 “But this I say, brethren, the time has been shortened, so that from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none;and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it; for the form of this world is passing away.”
