1 Corinthians 7:25-27

Living Bible

²⁵ Now I will try to answer your other question. What about girls who are not yet married? Should they be permitted to do so? In answer to this question, I have no special command for them from the Lord. But the Lord in his kindness has given me wisdom that can be trusted, and I will be glad to tell you what I think.

²⁶ Here is the problem: We Christians are facing great dangers to our lives at present. In times like these I think it is best for a person to remain unmarried. ²⁷ Of course, if you already are married, don’t separate because of this. But if you aren’t, don’t rush into it at this time.
