1 Corinthians / Question
Question source
1 Corinthians
Paul says he wishes others could remain as he is, but recognizes different gifts from God (1 Corinthians 7:7). He says for the unmarried and widows it is good to remain single, but if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry (1 Corinthians 7:8–9).
7Yet I wish that all men were like me. However each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
8But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
9But if they don`t have self-control, let them marry. For it`s better to marry than to burn.
