1 Corinthians 7:26
In my opinion then, because of the present trouble, it is good for a man to keep as he is.

--------------------

1 Corinthians 7:1
Now, as to the things in your letter to me: It is good for a man to have nothing to do with a woman.

1 Corinthians 7:7
It is my desire that all men might be even as I am. But every man has the power of his special way of life given him by God, one in this way and one in that.

1 Corinthians 7:8
But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them to be even as I am.

1 Corinthians 7:25
Now about virgins I have no orders from the Lord: but I give my opinion as one to whom the Lord has given mercy to be true to him.

1 Corinthians 7:28
If you get married it is not a sin; and if an unmarried woman gets married it is not a sin. But those who do so will have trouble in the flesh. But I will not be hard on you.

1 Corinthians 7:32
But it is my desire for you to be free from cares. The unmarried man gives his mind to the things of the Lord, how he may give pleasure to the Lord:

1 Corinthians 7:34
And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.

1 Corinthians 7:35
Now I say this for your profit; not to make things hard for you, but because of what is right, and so that you may be able to give all your attention to the things of the Lord.

1 Corinthians 7:37
But the man who is strong in mind and purpose, who is not forced but has control over his desires, does well if he comes to the decision to keep her a virgin.

1 Corinthians 7:38
So then, he who gets married to his virgin does well, and he who keeps her unmarried does better.

1 Corinthians 7:29
But I say this, my brothers, the time is short; and from now it will be wise for those who have wives to be as if they had them not;

1 Corinthians 7:30
And for those who are in sorrow, to give no signs of it; and for those who are glad, to give no signs of joy; and for those who are getting property, to be as if they had nothing;

1 Corinthians 7:31
And for those who make use of the world, not to be using it fully; for this world's way of life will quickly come to an end.
