1 Corinthians 7:26-28
1599 Geneva Bible
26 I suppose then [a]this to be good for the [b]present necessity: I mean that it is good for a man so to be.
27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed: art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
28 But if thou takest a wife, thou sinnest not: and if a virgin marry, she sinneth not: nevertheless, such shall have trouble in the [c]flesh: but I [d]spare you.

- 1 Corinthians 7:26 To remain a virgin.
- 1 Corinthians 7:26 For the necessity which the Saints are daily subject unto, who are continually tossed up and down, so that their estate may seem most unfit for marriage, were it not that the weakness of the flesh enforced them to it.
- 1 Corinthians 7:28 By the (flesh) he understandeth what things forever belong to this present life, for marriage bringeth with it many discommodities: so that he bendeth more to a sole life, not because it is a service more agreeable to God than marriage is, but for those discommodities, which (if it were possible) he would wish all men to be void of, that they might give themselves to God only.
- 1 Corinthians 7:28 I would your weakness were provided for.
