I say to those who are not married, especially to widows: It is good for you to stay single like me.
So I don’t want you to have any concerns. An unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, ⌞that is,⌟ about how he can please the Lord.
I would like everyone to be like me. However, each person has a special gift from God, and these gifts vary from person to person.
Now, concerning the things that you wrote about: It’s good for men not to get married.
Don’t we have the right to take our wives along with us like the other apostles, the Lord’s brothers, and Cephas do?
