1 Corinthians 7:26
Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to remain as he is.

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

1 Corinthians 7:1
Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

1 Corinthians 7:7
Yet I wish that all men were like me. However, each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.

1 Corinthians 7:8
But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.

1 Corinthians 7:25
Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.

1 Corinthians 7:28
But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.

1 Corinthians 7:32
But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

1 Corinthians 7:34
There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.

1 Corinthians 7:35
This I say for your own benefit, not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.

1 Corinthians 7:37
But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.

1 Corinthians 7:38
So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does better.

1 Corinthians 7:29
But I say this, brothers: the time is short. From now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;

1 Corinthians 7:30
and those who weep, as though they didn’t weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn’t rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn’t possess;

1 Corinthians 7:31
and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
