1COR 7:32–7:35 ©

It is better to remain unmarried because married people are more concerned about pleasing their spouses than about how to please the Lord.

It is better to remain unmarried because married people are more concerned about pleasing their spouses than about how to please the Lord.

1 Corinthians 7:32-35

32Another reason why I encourage you to remain unmarried is that I desire that none of you be anxious about the everyday affairs of this life. Unmarried men are able to be primarily concerned about serving the Lord Jesus and trying to please him. 33But married men are often greatly concerned about the affairs of this life. Specifically, they are concerned about pleasing their wives. 34So their thinking is divided. Unmarried women are able to be concerned about serving the Lord. They want to set apart their minds and their bodies for serving the Lord. But married women are often concerned about the affairs of this life. Specifically, they are concerned about how to please their husbands. 35I am telling you this for your own good. I am not saying it in order to restrict you. Instead, I am saying it in order that you may do what is proper and be able to serve the Lord without being distracted {things distracting you}.
