In whatever situation someone was called, brothers and sisters, let him remain in it with God.
Remaining Unmarried With regard to the question about people who have never married, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my opinion as one shown mercy by the Lord to be trustworthy.
Because of the impending crisis I think it best for you to remain as you are.
The one bound to a wife should not seek divorce. The one released from a wife should not seek marriage.
But if you marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face difficult circumstances, and I am trying to spare you such problems.
And I say this, brothers and sisters: The time is short. So then those who have wives should be as those who have none,
those with tears like those not weeping, those who rejoice like those not rejoicing, those who buy like those without possessions,
