A gift from God – 1 Cor 7:6-7
Vs 6 – Paul makes it clear that the advice he is giving is a concession and not a command. It is strictly advice and one that can to obeyed or ignore. Paul knew that his world view had limitations and so he is conceding that what he is giving it his view and it was not a command.
Vs 7 – Paul wishes that they all could be like him. He had chosen to remain celebate. This was a personal decision. We do know that at one time Paul had a wife but what happened to her we do not know. Each person has their own gift from God. So each should be established in their own mind what is the best course of action for them. Faith is a personal decision one that cannot be dictated by another or it has become spiritual bondage. Paul as a bachelor was free to travel where he wanted, where he wanted and why he wanted to be there. Married people cannot do that.
