1 Corinthians 7:24-26

New Testament for Everyone

²⁴ So, brothers and sisters, let each person remain before God in the state in which they were called.

On remaining unmarried

²⁵ Now when it comes to unmarried people, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my opinion as (thanks to the Lord’s mercy!) a trustworthy person. ²⁶ This, then, is what I think is for the best: just at the moment we are in the middle of a very difficult time, and it’s best for people to remain as they are.
