1 Corinthians 7:27 Commentary and Bible Study

Are you already bound under God to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed from her. Of course not: marriage is a divine institution. Are you unmarried, because you are widowed or have never married in the first place? Do not necessarily seek a wife, provided you have the gift from God to remain unmarried. Most people will be married and that is right for them, and that is the will of God, but for some, circumstances will show the will of God and they will be strengthened by the Lord to remain single. They have a very noble and important role to play.
