I Corinthians 7:32-34
Some single people feel tremendous pressure to be married. They think their lives can be complete only with a spouse. But Paul underlines one advantage of being single—the
potential of a greater focus on Christ and his work. If you are unmarried, use your special opportunity to serve Christ wholeheartedly.
I Corinthians 7:38
When Paul said the unmarried person does better, he was talking about the potential time available for service to God because the single person has fewer responsibilities related
to raising a family. Singleness, however, does not insure service to God—that is up to the commitment of the individual.
