Bible Question:
why I Corinthians 7:1-2 It is good for a man not to touch a woman? Genesis,The LORD God said: "It is NOT GOOD for the man to be alone. I will make a suitable partner(WOMAN) for him." Adam exclaimed 'This is NOW bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man'. |
Bible Answer: Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for you to remain as you are. 1 Corinthians 7:26 ____________________ NIV 1 Corinthians 7 1 Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry. 2 But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband 26 Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for you to remain as you are. 27 Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. Are you unmarried? Do not look for a wife. 28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this. 29 What I mean, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none; 32 I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs--how he can please the Lord. 33 But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world--how he can please his wife-- 34 and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world--how she can please her husband. 35 I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord. Corin: To understand what a verse means the first thing to do is read it in context. That is, "Never read a Bible verse. That's right, never read a Bible VERSE. Instead, always read a paragraph - at least." (www.str.org/free/ studies/neverrea.htm) Grace to you, Kalos |
