1 Corinthians 7:25-27

Expanded Bible

Questions About Getting Married

²⁵ Now I write about ·people who are not married [or those never married; or betrothed women; ^Lvirgins]. I have no command from the Lord about this; I give my ·opinion [perspective; judgment]. But I can be trusted, because the Lord has shown me mercy. ²⁶ Because ·the present time is a time of trouble [of the present crisis/distress/trouble], I think it is ·good [best] for you to stay the way you are. ²⁷ If you ·have a wife [^Lare bound to a wife; or are pledged to a woman], do not try to ·become free from [or divorce] her. If you are not married, do not try to find a wife.
