1 Corinthians 7:25-28
25 Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy. 26 Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for you to remain as you are. 27 Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. Are you unmarried? Do not look for a wife. 28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
Quick Notes
Paul makes it clear that these few verses are his opinion and not from God. Basically, if you are unmarried, awesome; if you are married, awesome! Don't do anything to change that. This should be encouragement that neither being single nor being married is better for you. Marriage is a wonderful thing, but so is not having the commitments necessary to have a good marriage. So, don't feel pressured into being in romantic relationships one way or the other. Neither is better.
