1 Corinthians 7:26 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

This is good for the present distress — While any church is under persecution. For a man to continue as he is — Whether married or unmarried. St. Paul does not here urge the present distress as a reason for celibacy, any more than for marriage; but for a man's not seeking to alter his state, whatever it be, but making the best of it.

1 Corinthians 7:26

26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress,d I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
