1 Corinthians 7:25-29

25Concerning virgins: Even though I don’t have any command from the Lord, I’ll give you my opinion. I’m a person to whom the Lord has shown mercy, so I can be trusted.

26Because of the present crisis I believe it is good for people to remain as they are.

27Do you have a wife? Don’t seek a divorce. Are you divorced from your wife? Don’t look for another one.

28But if you do get married, you have not sinned. If a virgin gets married, she has not sinned. However, these people will have trouble, and I would like to spare them from that.

29This is what I mean, brothers and sisters: The time has been shortened. While it lasts, those who are married should live as though they were not.
