Advice to the Unmarried – 1 Cor 7:8-9
Vs 8 - Paul then gives advice to the unmarried and widows. It is his advice not the Lord’s. He tells them to remain unmarried like he is. This way they can dedicate themselves fully to the Lord and His work.
Vs 9 – He then tells them that if they cannot control themselves it is best for them to marry then burn with passion. Uncontrolled passion is a doorway toward immorality. Paul also knew the many temptations that Corinth offered. It is best not to tempt oneself. Christian conduct is best served in the context of marriage if passion is the issue. God wants us to live in peace.
