1 Corinthians 7:25-28 Serve & State of Life. 28 Apr 2024

1Co 7:25 About people remaining virgin,
I have no directions from the Lord,
but I give my own opinion
as a person who has been granted the Lord's mercy to be faithful.
26 Well then, because of the stress which is weighing upon us,
the right thing seems to be this:
it is good for people to stay as they are.
27 If you are joined to a wife, do not seek to be released;
if you are freed of a wife, do not look for a wife.
28 However, if you do get married, that is not a sin,
and it is not sinful for a virgin to enter upon marriage.
But such people will have the hardships consequent on human nature,
and I would like you to be without that.

Being married is a serious obligation. I need to invest time in my marriage.

Saint Paul is Mission Focused

A marriage takes hardships. He prefers to live without the troubles of marriage. For the sake of Christ.

Prayer

Jesus, help Millet and me to care for our mission.
